If this is DID...

Postby Howlin Mad » Wed Dec 07, 2011 5:01 am

...then which one am I??
Hahaha

I spoke with Ana last Monday night, and she asked me what I thought she was, if I thought she was an alternate personality, or some sort of separation of myself, and I told her I actually used to consider her the big sister who would protect me from the big, mean world.
And I couldn't stop laughing when she said "I discovered I had this Howlin Mad alter who tries to take over, but can never completely manage."
XD
I love Ana sometimes, I don't think I'd ever want her to go away.

How old was the body when Ana arrived, which you mentioned was a few years ago. If it was adulthood and there are no other alters, I don't think it's DID. So do both or either of you lose time? Are you both out in the body at times? Do you have a therapist? If not, it sounds like it might be a good idea.

I don't know when I first heard voices. I always had a good imagination, and part of that was being able to see and hear things so clearly I could believe they were real, which was good for make pretend games as a child. But at highschool, it wasn't such a good thing.
For the first 2/3 of year 7, I had a friend called Riley Enarka, and I couldn't understand why people were being so awful to me, especially because I was "talking to myself" and being such a "freak".
Then I made two friends in my year, and shortly after my friend in the year above started talking to me again, because her mum had told her to leave me alone. And after that, it sort of dawned on me Riley wasn't real.

Then nothing much, until half way through year 9, there was a guy who would say horrible things to me, but he was just a voice, and he made me attempt to OD. Towards the end of year 9, I heard another one, and she was friendly, and helped make the guy go away, though he keeps coming back every now and again.
Beginning of year 10, she told me her name was Ana, and we've been friends friends.

I've lost time, but I've never been aware of someone else taking over, although on here I've been told my unexplainable mood swings, and sometimes I suppose a way of thinking that isn't consistant with mine, may be something to do with it.

Me and Ana call the guy Liam now, though I still don't know what his name is.
