Hello, people. I am a highly functional, normal-seeming person with a spouse, a job, talents, smarts, many interests, a sense of humor, and I've got d.i.d. (formerly known as multiple personality disorder). I'm pretty much in the closet about it, with the exception of a few carefully-chosen people. I don't want to freak anyone out.
In my case, it's just a nifty survival mechanism that saw me through what would otherwise have been unbearable trauma when I was little. Sad to say, my parents don't know (about the trauma or the disorder).
I'm curious if there are any fellow/sister multiples here. If not, let me be a spokesperson and show some small corner of the world that there are lots of us (and not just in my head) (sorry, but it was easy) and we are among you and we're swell people who do all the things that swell people do!
