But I agree with you, I don't think I have D.I.D.
There's that triggering thing that makes one alter pop up and the main source of the disorder seems to be a traumatic event that constantly repeated itself. Honestly, I had a tough childhood, but nothing as a traumatic event that repeated itself. Also, the main identity or host doesn't have much communication with the alters, it's like only one can be awake at a time. I often speak out what Cesar's saying, but he doesn't have that much control over me. I honestly understand that there is a similarity, but I only relate with a very few amount of symptoms. Hmmm... I haven't searched for an online test, but I doubt it would result positive.

It irks me some.
I'm absolutely not DID but there is something about me that is different from people with "oneness".
It's very hard to think about things when there is no framework yet. I hope this will change in the future.

You know, I think you're right. I don't think there is much information collected for a split mind diagnosis. My experience with my brother is very complex and hard to understand. It's not like D.I.D. and I doubt I'll find something similar in my lifetime. I should just accept things as they are.
