how often do you switch?

Postby splitevil96 » Tue Dec 20, 2011 3:49 am

Jennie tends to come around about every day, but the other two don't come out as much. how often do you switch? do you always need a trigger? and they switch back to the host whenever they want? sorry if I'm asking alot of questions I'm just trying to understand this better. oh and this isn't splitevil96. it's a friend. she leaves things up lol

Several times a day. I don't keep an exact count but id say its at least 5 to 10 times a day, maybe more if its a stressful day.

I wrote this yesterday, but it is gone.

I switch between me and two others through out the day. If something stressful comes up, a fourth alter will come out.

We rarely switch fully, but we're co-con a good 90% of the time. We might hand off control to each other ten to twenty times in a day. We don't need triggers to switch, though triggers typically cause switching. Sometimes they let me back out after a while, sometimes I force my way back out. Sometimes, we get involved in doing something, and I naturally slide back to front without meaning to.

like lilith, we're generally co-concious. there's usually at least 2 of us fronting at any given time. Depends on who's stable and who's not.
Don't know if we can give you a count. We only get fully blocked out when someone's loosing it or I intentionally block people out to keep them safe.
This is not an inclusive list, but a list of those who are most likely to post
Kyle(17), Tyler(18) Greg(17) Morgan(14) Selena(13) Jason(12)
We are all people.
We will never be one, do not suggest to us we should integrate.
Or that we are objects. Or that we aren't real.

I don't really know, I kinda just forget it happened at the end of the day. Average, 5 times. TK gets triggered a lot and reverts back to C. Zack or I after snarling/growling at whatever is triggering him.
