Sorry for being a bit naive, but what do you mean by 'integrating'?

[sidian3]

@ChrystaAnsara That's not naive at all. Integrating is the process when the alter "fuses" or goes back into the core and they become one person. To an alter, this may seem like death because they would no longer exist on their own again.

you seem like you'd be an awsome person to have a conversation with =] have a great sense of humour xD

[sidian3]

@paddyplaysguitar Thank you very much! It's funny you should say that, usually when I am talking to someone, I make frequent pauses because my system adds things for me to say.

[FoolishHeart2526]

I think you guys are very brave for sharing your story. <3

@FoolishHeart2526 Thank you so much!

@kidcurls Thank you for your opinion but I am not a religious person. I don't think I am sick so there is nothing to cure or get rid of.

@copperpaint There is not a textbook version of MPD/DID. Just because my system is different from your friends system doesn't mean anything. Every person is different, therefore every system is different.

@sidian3 Oh I see, thank you.

[sidian3]

@PizzaIsGood101 I'm sorry to say it doesn't work like that. The alters are created under horrible conditions, taking the abuse we couldn't take ourselves. Whoever they are when created is the person they are. They may evolve as time goes by, they may become stronger people, it all depends upon them and what they are willing to do. I wish there was an easy button to make it all better, but sadly, it just takes time.

@sidian3 Is there anyway you can make multiple personalities such as a fearless confident outgoing person? I feel so weak around people with more powerful personalities. I've been labeled shy for so long that now it's leaving me crippled and I hate it.
