i think i understand what you are asking. you two sailed over my head tonight. :-)
if you think in terms of parts having different personalities, then it makes since that one personality might be manic while another is depressed while another displays borderline characteristics. they can have different religions, sexes, and all other things including disorders. some may have PTSD, while others are totally together and responsible.
as for me, i mostly feel like a shell.... i am a shell through which everybody else relates. that's probably a strange concept, but that's a lot like what it feels.
as far as meds, i cannot take xanax for example unless i am in one particular state. otherwise, it is too strong or makes me sick. but in that particular state, the dose is perfect and it works perfectly within 5 minutes. i cannot take it for anticipatory anxiety, because then it doesn't even work at all; you'd think i took nothing.
