I don't particularly care if she's got real MPD or not, I'd just she didn't harp on about it all the time. It seems to be that MPD is her banner, her security blanket, her excuse, her claim to fame. I'm a "minor bpd (bi-polar)" person (at least, thats what I think, and most of my friends agree. My doctor hasn't been very helpful about the whole thing), yet I don't throw this about as an excuse. I'll occasionaly say "depends what mood I'm in" and leave it at that. I don't particularly like it, I'm learning to control it, and I definatly don't use it as a method of gaining attention for myself. (Yes, ok, most of my friends know I'm slightly mental, but aside from a few who read my journal, I don't discuss it with people).
Anyway, I'll admit it can be confusing at times when she's talking on IRC as Dat, Chris, or whoever (I think we've had 5 out of 127 or so (its a number I got from somewhere, not sure where, but it sticks. Could be my memory getting crossed again) appear), but it gets quite confusing initialy trying to tell them apart. Initialy "Dat"'s use of english was very bad, and thus I could at least figure that out. But now aside from gender references and names, it all seems the same.
Got sidetracked again I think. A word of advice: if you are realy MPD, then have a "spokespersonality" and have them deal with the real world. Then the rest of us won't look at you going "wtf is up with them?"
