most people with bpd do not have alters per se. They are usually fragments at best, with most of their memories being intact, just scattered throughout and not following a logical path. There may be a bit of dissociation, but that is more like daydreaming (which everyone does) and is not because of a true alter. BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) is not the same as DID (formerly Multiple Personality Disorder). You might want to read up on BPD--there are good resources and books listed in the sticky notes--one of my favorite ones on BPD is "Sometimes I Act Crazy" by Jerome J. Kreisman MD, and Hal Straus. Another good BPD book is Get Me Out Of Here by rachel reiland. It is a book in which she tells her story about her recovery from BPD. Very intense book, take it slow. If you have a SO, you might want that person to read Stop Walking On Eggshells. Very good for the SO of a BPD person.
