So what you are saying your host/self had no awareness of Rainy or Thelma and could not have a conversation in your head with her that this is ridiculous we should not behave like this when there is thunder?
I can describe all my parts but I go to battle with them in my head and what I look like to someone on the outside doing battle is me just sitting there or laying on the couch unable to get tasks done or just unable to stand still.
I have parts that help other parts. I have a dark part with all the suicidal intent but that part is young and unable to get the combination of pills for her plan. I have a part that goes on a mission for the dark part and makes the doctors appointment, plays the actress role of being in need of a certain drug, and then getting it. In IFS terms I think it is a manager appeasing the dark part to shut it up and calm it down as it calms down when there is a lethal plan in place.
Host/ self just is compelled to go along with the doctors appointment.
I still do not believe I has OSDD or whatever.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
