For people with DID, this begins generally before the age of 5, but sometimes the original person doesn't have any contact with the others until much later. It's hard to say what's going on for you. I would say there are good things and uncomfortable things about having DID, but if you do have this situation, it would generally be seen as healing for you to make contact and get to know these others you have inside. It is up to you, of course. I wish you all the best.

Hey thanks for that! That means a lot to me. You're right, a good therapist can find out the details if it's maladaptive daydreaming or what. I welcome talking to a therapist even though I'll make sure it's one of those who don't believe in talking to the "alters." I've been talking to the inner people, for what, like going 7 to 10 past years and everything's been going down hill ever since.
But that's only my case.
