I'm just hesitant to say no it's not a thing because of the idea that it could be really hurtful and invalidating to someone. I mean, for the sake of arguing it is not true, and that the people who say this has happened to them are making it up... clearly there is something going on for them and they need help, because what kind of well adjusted human being would go and make that up and choose to live it? Real or not according to authorities, if it is real to them, the ones who say they have this happening, that's ultimately what matters to me I guess.

Yes, I do agree that when people say something, they have a reason behind it, so I too would not want to be judgmental about it, especially, as you have said, who would want to live with a disorder (dissociative identities) on their daily basis, without a reason? There must be a reason I think, especially back in the first thread, that teenage girl had been through severe trauma.
