Core

Do you think it is possible that a person with DID could actually live their life as an alter? I mean never actually get down to the
"core" of themselves? Do you think alters could actually actr like they are integrated but deep down inside they are not.? I sometimes wonder about this.

Yeah I do. . .if you are interested in knowing more, email me. I'll send you some information backing this idea up. GraceAbideth@msn.com

My first split/dissociation came in the womb when being bombarded with alcohol and hostile enviroment. I've spent most of my life trying to work out who I am at my core. I think for me I have to unravel gradually and discover who that is. Its not like a switch that will just happen, that I will come into being. So yes I've been alot of different people all my life. But the core of me has been present in all of them. Its who we became, my other parts are as much as my core as "I" am. Just taken me a while to see that. I've been trying to rid myself of my parts to reveal a core part. We're all that core part. I recognise myself in all of us now.

I often have wondered this myself.... i get confused on which parts are the "real" me and which parts are the "others"... I know each part is essentially a piece of me, but I get them all mixed up with myself... sorry .... too hard to explain...

Chalkdust, this question revolves around my question as well, "What is the host? Who AM I?" I don't know that it matters to everyone but it matters to me. I just want to know who I am and the best way to deal with all of my parts.
