The fence...? Probably more in the multiple category? We are not diagnosed with DID or DDNOS at this point as treatment began for bipolar disorder and eating disorders but we have opened up to our psychiatrist recently about 'us' and slowly processing previously blocked out past traumas that started surfacing. I suppose I'd say that we function externally quite well, we are married with children and a job but we do suffer horribly internally and struggle A LOT to try and keep these outside things together - only a few of us ever front and different parts of us are more capable in different areas than others and 'hold the fort' accordingly ie- one doesn't like our husband or children very much so that can be a big problem at times. We don't black out completely very much at all (that we know of), its mostly a co-con situation between the fronters and the ones that don't, we will all answer to the bodies name (although some hate it passionately) even though the 'original' by that name is rarely around anymore. There is general awareness that a situation happened when another was fronting but no detailed memories of it - a bit like retelling a story overheard in a crowded restaurant. It's hard to explain...
