Okay. To clear a few things up, I'm the "core" person using the online alias Katie Kaboom, and have an alter named Katie. We'll call her "KT" to avoid confusion.

So last night I was talking to my boyfriend and switched and when I switched back, I realised it was KT who had been talking to him while I was "in the background". And dang. I was t e r r i f i e d.

She is perfect. Outgoing, socially poised (is that the right term?), straightforward, not afraid to speak her mind, and she was interested in my boyfriend's issues and talked to him about them.

Guess how terrible I felt when I was back to my old depressed self again? I wouldn't have been able to talk to him like that. I told him that I switched, that KT says hi.. and that I was sorry for acting weird. He was all "okay". Argh.

Ahhhh. If anyone ever feels this way, it would help. I feel really weird and stupid for this.
