I can only answer from my experience, other peoples experience with this may be different - as different as different people meeting the same DSM criteria tend to be
> How do they get names....
They just kind of occured to me and seemed to fit
> do they appear with names and you find out?
My personal opinion is that it is senseless to get enmeshed in the 'discovery or creation' debate. Names occurred to me shortly after I discovered / found them
> When did you first notice them?
13
> So some are angry but are others exhibiting other emotions.
Some are angry some times, others are angry at others. I don't think they have a predominant affect but I do think they fuful different functions
> Are you the central person?
to me :-)
> Do you hear them night and day?
yup
> do they monitor your dreams?
I am not sure
> do you dream?
sure
> How do you cope?
How does anyone cope? Sometimes not very well, at other times I do ok
> what happens if you drink?
Depends on what I am drinking. Sometimes I become hydrated, other times I become dehydrated :-) sorry, not sure I understand the question
> Do the people around you know what you are experiencing?
Some of them. There are a couple of people who know a couple of us
> I want to say that I appreciate you being open to my questions.
> Sorry I haven't responded sooner.
no apology necessary. Sorry I haven't responded sooner. I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed with all the questions. But I am doing ok, right?
> I have been distracted by the hurricane Ivan.
??? Is that a real hurricane, or a figure of speech?
> I respect you and your contribution to this site.
And I respect you and your sensitivity and creativeness.
