> I guess the reason I made a distinction between a dissociated ego state and an alter is that I don't meet the criteria for DID. I always have co-consciousness, never lose time, etc. Also my inner self is in no way a complete stand alone personality, if that makes any sense.

<<giggle>>yea, i get it. do you know what would happen to me if i decided to adamantly say that nobody else "completely stood alone?" that's probably the big clue. lots of DID folks are co-conscious. i'm mostly (i think....) that way ... some of the time..... anyway, the big give away is when the opinions become ways of life/living/speaking/viewing things. then you've got DID.
