When the body was in it's teens decades ago, we knew but voted ignorance in keeping it a secret from the world and ourselves. I always thought that the voices were my thoughts as we collaborated as a group on day to day life. It got really confusing at times, but never gave it a second thought because this was normal. Forgetting about DID over the years.... until my x talked about how she was watching a show about DID....then it all came back out of denial. It became real a year ago. So we all knew in head...but we chose to not acknowledge it.

It's hard to accept that there is something wrong mentally with one's self. Even finding out that one is bipolar.. there is a bit of denial there. It's just so icky feeling. But to discover that you are also a part out of parts....the bottom can fall out. To find out that you are not as in control of your life, body, and mind can be soul crushing to some. We have Others that are still in denial or unsure. There is plenty of "why me?" To be had.

It can be scary for some parts, but I also have other parts that thinks this is really kewl. So...it depends upon the parts feeling about it. Of course we lack a host...more like a group of mains here. Who ever our life is centered around is the host...but that changes often...and you can only know by looking back into the past.
