Hello, I'm new here and though I don't really have questions about MPD (DID if you prefer) I find it really exciting to be able to communicate with others who have it and those who may or may not but have questions about it. Here is a little information about me: My name is Rich, I'm 25 y/o I live in Far Northern California. Married almost 7 years and I'm not sure exactly how many alters I have but there are ~5 that make regular appearances in my day to day living.
Those are Bobbie, a cheerful 25 y/o (or maybe I should say same age since she ages with me) that is motherly to my younger alters who aren't seen frequently but pop out on occasion to play with the dogs or just watch some TV (they really like Oswald on Nickolodian).
Next there is Nicole, she is also same age and until recently very rarly made appearances. Usually only when I lost something that I absolutly could not find. Her job was to keep track of things that were going on inside and basiclly to Know things. Now that we have communication and are functioning her job is not as big as it used to be, but she still craves knowelge (of any sort) and helps keep me from losing stuff (or rather helps find it when I do).
Fred: Fred is my protector. He does not come out nearly as much as he used to (good thing) but is still around for as-needed security. It is hard coming out after him for two reasons a) he never blinks. NEVER. b) he can stand a very high level of adrenaline and usually increases it by coming out. So afterwards my eyes are dry and hurt, and my heart is racing and I am usually tired.
There are the kids, and others but this post is getting long enough as it is. I'm looking forward to "meeting" more of you and answering ?s from all.
Thanks to all who participate and support this forum.
