I actually prefer the term "emotional Dinah" or "real Dinah" or what I usually use in person "Dinah (pointing at my stomach as opposed to Dinah pointing at my head)", although the latter is hard to do in writing. :)
For shorthand and convenience I might use capital and lowercase letters, but while I might use a photo of me age 12 or 13 to denote the self image of me (pointing at my stomach), and while I (pointing at my stomach) have a real objection to growing up, I don't really think of it as an age related thing so much as an emotional/rational thing. Well, I (pointing to my stomach) like to think of it as a real/fake thing, but I (pointing to my head) am not crazy about that one, so the compromise is emotional/rational me or me (pointing to my stomach) and me (pointing to my head).
And now I have you totally confused, should I ask if you have any preferences? I probably use little Daisy because I heard it elsewhere, but if you prefer a different way of referring to yourself, just let me know. :)
