Hi Muffled,
Yes, I've done some reading in the Archives since I joined a few days ago now and have seen that you suffer some splitting. I don't really split when I sense my "other selves", it's more a breakdown in the mind to certain feelings of being young in mind and emotion, not really separate selves. It's more regression than splitting and when I do, well the younger mind part is the wounded and helpless one. In therapy right now we are discussing how to not be 'contaminated' with this part completely to where I feel so helpless and powerless and traumatized and undeveloped.
From reading the archives, I know you are experiencing something different. It's good you understand logically in mind that it is all you, though I know with your dx and similar others that experience 'parts' or 'other people' (peeps, lol) there can be blank memories and what seems as no continuation of the "self" from young and I understand better too from reading your posts and others similar how the idea of integration is a scary one. There's no real integration required on my part. It's more fixing/mending a really broken part of my mind and emotion.
>I just kinda...arrived. Its hard to explain.
You do a great job at describing how things feel and don't feel to you.
