Knowing you, you definitely can do the Schizoid Spock/Data thing with him 🙂 You have certainly turned to Aunty Donna. You have definitely dined with Carol. Reckon your head wouldn’t fall off with Marnie.

So how did Kinjet, Marsaya, Caleb and Kimba come about? And is Kimba from the cartoon? Some of us loved that cartoon!

how young were you when the different people developed? I know you well enough to recognise a Schizotypal nature… and I share one… but not sure why you felt you’d experienced Schizoprhenia. Those with DID who develop other selves often think they are ghosts or that they might be possessed. Non human selves are common. Anne sees all the selves as cats and is herself rather ethereal, so sort of like a fairy. Many of the others identify Little Donna as a cat. Carol has become a rabbit and also been a cat. Da Boy is both a tomboy and an imp. As for shadow people, yes, when some people have fear they have seen shadow people. Anne saw ghost cats out the corner of her eye… not really seen them but felt them there, sensed them, or she felt they were cats. So I think this is not the same as the sort of delusions and halucinations in schizophrenia. Interestingly, they’ve found DID runs in families. It is also commonly misdiagnosed as many things including bipolar and schizophrenia.

Yes, I know of someone else with DID who saw things. One of mine, Anne, has seen glimpses of ghost cats out the corner of her eye… more FELT they were there. Lots of cats were killed in front of me growing up and Anne also imagines the others as cats.
