How many do you all have? :)

So far, I have 10 names that I know of. I think Star said I had 32, but the dog started barking so I couldn't hear her, so that might not be the correct number. I know there are others I've seen or felt that I don't have names for yet too. The first time I talked to Star she said there were a lot of "incompletes", I'm guessing that's their term for fragments, but I have no idea how many there are. All I know is "a lot" was quite emphasized when she said it....but coming from an 8 year old that definition might be a bit different from my own

So, as of now, I'm taking 32 with a grain of salt, but I know it's the minimum. It'll be interesting, though, when I do find out the true numbers!

Awww that will be fun (albeit a tad difficult) to find everything out about it

Let's see. When I know about 9 parts now, I have seen maybe 1/10 of the whole space inside (but probably less), that means ~100 . ** ramble/off-topic ** Why so many? Or isn't it possible to calculate it that way? Have I made a mistake somewhere? If there are so many, and if the amount of parts is roughly linear to the amount of trauma, what the heck has happened to me?

Yeah that doesn't sound like a way of knowing. You can't really calculate an inner world like that. We have huge landscapes and some of them have a couple of people in there, other places has more. One space has 2. It all depends on your own system, and it just takes time for them to reveal themselves etc. Also, did these 9 parts live in the area that you saw, or are these just the ones you know of? Because just because what you saw was only a part of the inner world, doesn't mean that the ones you know about lives there. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm kind of in a hurry right now. Hope you figure it all out at some point though

Good luck with getting to know your system too, ManyShadesOfMe

Apparently now I have 20. Whoopee....
(Sorry, I know that was a bit mean, and I didn't mean to offend anyone. I'm just really overwhelmed and was kinda hoping for a break from new stuff/discoveries, but I guess not...)

It's okay to be overwhelmed Cassandra. I'm sorry the influx of people is distressing. We know how you feel. Hope you can have some time to do your own things too to calm down, not just focusing on the new ones. Take care of yourself. Thinking of you

I think we're up to...let's see...21 for sure, a possible 22-23- wait! A possible 24. There's a cat we aren't sure about still, a possible alter known only as "Pretty", and Maiingan (we're not sure if she's an ISH or more like a gatekeeper alter). Jeez. I remember when I only knew about/was aware of 4... And I thought that was crowded.... Oh, if I only knew....

I feel too overwhelmed to count. I tell myself we're somewhere between 20-30. It depends who I count and how I feel honestly. It's just.. It's too much for me right now So we wrote "about 25" in our signature because I keep going back and forth. Hopefully I'll feel more able to cope with it all soon

*safe hugs to those who want them*

Thank you

Remember everyone. You have what you have. There is no competition to have the least or the most. No matter what every alter is equal and all the alters combined make up ONE whole personality. Everyone of us is simply a sum of all our parts (alters) no matter the number of them we have.

The same it true for those without DID.
