> How do you interact with the "alters"? Do you only hear one at a time, or do you sometimes hear their voices in pairs or in groups? Do you ever hear the voices converse among themselves as if you were a bystander? This is all very new to me, DID, and I'm trying to understand what it must be like for you to live with this. Atticus
Sometimes one at a time and I can talk to them. Sometimes it is like being in a crowded room and you can hear a buzz of conversation, and make out angry voices and arguments etc but can't catch what they are saying, maybe only the odd word. Jasmine does indeed scream, which is hard to tolerate. I don't talk to them more than one at a time. Not sure why. I think that different peoples experience with this kind of thing can be very different, however. I guess in a sense I have fairly good communication whereas some people don't get the voices only the missing time and they need to communicate by journalling etc.
