Maybe that isn't the best way to describe it...complete personalities. It all feels like me, just more emotional and sensitive, if you know what I mean. And acting out in a younger fashion. So the personalities are complete. I like what you said about different responsibilities to different states. My youngest self has none, the 12/13 yr old is completely responsible for everything that happened and protects everyone involved and the adult is responsible for everything else in the here and now. Sheesh...I need a score card!
But I'm aware of these states as the overall adult...I guess that is what makes it so hard. And I'm never completely someone else. Which is why it isn't DID.
It is so hard to explain! And by describing anything as "just" it seems insulting...it wasn't meant that way.
