Answers:
This used to be called MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder), then in the last few years (after my diagnosis and initial treatment), the name was changed to DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder); I now call it DIC (Dissociative Identity Crisis)!. I've had a few crisis, especially going through the court battle against the hospital for what one of their employees did to me!. Because I recognized the signs, I was able to stay in control!.

I'm one of the few who have finally put the parts together, but I am always on guard for any type of a blackout, or any thoughts that are trying to push me viki (or Tori) aside!. I have to stay vigilant!.

There is a controller who manages the personalities and keeps things organized!. Usually there is a very mean and nasty personality!. There are children -- this disorder is caused by being brilliant, creative, and molested over a long period of time when you were a child!.

Right now, I feel angry that this is treated as a question and YA!. But I also know that knowledge is important to stop the ridiculous people who assume that one personality will be kind and another a killer!. That makes me angrier!. I didn't know I would feel anger when I looked at your question!.

There are times when personalities switch so fast that if you are not aware of it, you wont see the change in their face and mannerisms!. When my last split occurred, all my friends -- those who really knew and cared about me -- said, "You look different!." "Are you okay!?" "Need anything!."

Of course, Jessica, needed nothing -- she was absolutely void of emotions and strictly business!. She took care of my job -- one of my clients saw immediately it was not me who came to do the work!. I went "away" to a safe place in my mind where I could not be hurt!.

I know what went on when Jessica was in control, but I may not know everything!. She went to my counselor since that was part of my business, and he worked and worked to get me, viki, to come out!. Under hypnotherapy sometimes one of the children would come out, sometimes the *itch, the controller, Jessica, I don't know who else!. But I refused!.

Once, Jessica had to go see my parents!. She was very nervous and ended up offending my mother who said, "Don't patronize me!" as Jessica tried to help her with a computer problem!. That day, in the kitchen, she finally had it with them and turned on my mom, dad, and husband, and said, "I am not viki!. I am Jessica!." When they asked if they could call her viki she said, "Okay!. As long as you know the difference!."

Ultimately, Bill, my counselor brought I viki back from my safe place!. It was the beginning of my healing!. The more I stayed here and didn't run away from problems, the stronger I became!. Others came out at times!.

I was worried and afraid about the depositions and remember asking Karen, my counselor, "Why do I want to be integrated!? I can get away from pain anytime I want!." But I also caused problems when I did!.

You'll notice that I use viki in the beginning, yet here I am Tori!. Both are part of my name -- Victoria -- but I wonder why I chose to be Tori here in YA; perhaps to have a freer side, I guess!. That could be the Gemini me!.

There can only be one personality in charge -- normally!. One of the books I read told about a law student who took notes with both of her hands until she realized others were staring at her!.

I've read a lot of books, and may one day write my story!. It took actually living with my mother, and letting her read my journal when I was going through therapy, for her to see the quick changes and realize that this was real!.

That is one of the hardest things about DID; it's so odd that people just cannot accept it as valid!. Now, remember the client who realized that viki was not doing the various jobs at her site!. Well, the day I viki walked in she jumped up and ran around her desk and hugged me!. I said, "I'm back!." She said, "Oh, I know that's why I'm hugging you!. I didn't think I would ever see you again!."

Now, with Tori and viki active, and I am aware of both, I believe I am both and have not split!.

At the end of my sessions with Karen, there were so many good things that I learned why it is better to stay and get through the bad times too!. Huge change from the woman who first walked in!.

So, now you know more about me than you probably ever wanted!. Too bad -- if you stuck through reading this epistle, congratulations to you!.

~~~
By being the controlling personality, I understand why there cannot be more than one personality ruling!.

"I" am responsibility for this body's actions, no matter what!. If individual parts of me were all ruling, I would be in chaos and unable to function!. Because there is one body, there must be a single controller, which, by the way, I think is the reason we have a "controller" ID among the others -- like someone who directs the trains!. If there were no controller, then my actions, in a would run by a single identity (we hope), would label me crazy!.

I hope this makes sense; I just went through a small traumatic event!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It would be like two people at the controlls of a car trying to do different things


because two people have two different
ideas of what to do!. It's like having a roomate and telling him what to do!.!.!. even if its right and them not listening to what your saying!.!.!. whoever is in controll is the personality that the body created to deal with certain situations at certain times because the other may lack a quality or chareactoristic to function properly!. alot more people then you think have them!.!.


also multiple personality disorder can be caused by prolonged drug use and abuse(any kind) as a child!.

also you will relise that you did stuff and not remember because each identity has his own memorie!.!.!. thats if you realy areWww@Answer-Health@Com
