Multiple Personalities Support Group
Dissociative identity disorder is a diagnosis described as the existence in an individual of two or more distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. At least two of these personalities are considered to routinely take control of the individual's behavior, and there is also some associated memory loss,...
not sure if i've asked this before or not ...
my friend seemed largely unaware of a little one until she dissociated one night and her little one came onto chat. It was when my friend read the chat transcript the next morning that she came to know of the little one (though one time a while before she said something a tad odd that made me think she did know at some level?)
thing is, this little one seems remarkable mature beyond her years and knows my friend very well - way better than my friend knows the little one. And in some ways the little one knows my friend better than my friend knows herself?
Is this possible? Can you alters know of your hosts long before the hosts know of you? And can you know your hosts way better than they know themselves about some things?

My friend reads and takes close notice of her little one's chats with me. And in a strange way we've come to share a real fondness for her, watching her progress. But none the less, at times my friend seems not entirely comfortable with having her - though it's only been about 5 month since the little one first allowed me to know of her, so perhaps this is a factor?
is this how it was for you in the early days of your awareness of Ivy? If it was - how long did comfortable acceptance take to arrive?
Do you have any advice i could pass onto my friend if the opportunity ever arrives?
K2Sharpe, I wonder if you have met your friend's recorder or memory trace personality, as you described she knows your friend better than she knows herself.
As for personalities that talk others out of suicide as Wheezie mentioned; an ISH will serve as a mediator, but your protector will come in as an alternating force to protect and try to keep you safe. CrazyEmma, it sounds like you may have met one of your inner self healers, embrace that sweetie. If she knows your entire history and the bits you don't she may be your recorder.
Best to you.
Cheers,
J- ISH of Destany's House
I think that sums it up.
