Hello. This is my first post, I suppose.

I've seen it used a couple of times here, so I'm doing it- using a different colour to distinguish myself from my other self. Let me know if I shouldn't do that. One's in my signature, and I don't want to be redundant, so I'll just be giving a brief introduction. My name is Teach, and I'm one of several personalities that seem to exist in here with me (so far we've only found **+ and me, but it seems like there's more). I'm not the 'core' (I think I'm using that right) personality, that'd be **+, but I'm the one that decided to show up here and actually attempt to communicate with other people.

I've been diagnosed with DID, and there are a few interesting reasons, but it's not exactly something I'd like to say other than the fact that I endured some intense abuse for 3 years, and that seems to be a likely reason for our condition.

**+ and I tend to switch between ourselves rather easily and comfortably, to the point where it's sometimes difficult to tell which one of us is actually doing the talking, as it were. **+ is a bit misanthropic but tends to be incredibly polite and proper and has a seriously creepy obsession with achieving immortality. I haven't been able to 'find' her for a day or two, though, so I'm not sure what's going on with her. She's very much a science person. Rationalist to a fault. Although she is much better at coherent, orderly paragraphs.

She's more collected than I am; I have a habit of losing my temper on a hair-trigger. But I'm also the only one between the two of us who has any sense of looking out for us, so I don't know. This is an awful introduction, I'm so sorry. I'm not great with people. Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be the one talking for a while.

Oh yeah, and fun fact- my name, Teach, actually is related to my username. When **+ first noticed my thoughts intruding into hers, she called me 'That Hideous Strength' after a line in a poem. I don't know why, she's weird. But she shortened it to T.H.S., and if you say it fast enough, it sounds like 'Teach S.'. I liked it, she liked it, and after a lot of shouting at each other we finally decided to go with it.

So yeah. I'm here. So'll she be, eventually. Look forward to meeting you folks.
