Ah, hello ... I'm Jade, and .. yeah. I .. recently found out (well, months ago) I am a multiple. Rather, I knew something of it last year, but never really acknowledged it until recently because all I knew of was the textbook case of it (will not say the d word. T T). Given that I only recently found out, I have a small system, but it's been growing in number rapidly lately ...

There are two things I'd like to ask ... answers would be greatly appreciated, of course ..

My school somehow has three multiples. I was really surprised to find out, and somehow, we've kind of .. managed to find each other. Only one of us three has a textbook case of childhood abuse, and myself and a friend who calls herself Tick have it for seemingly no reason at all. The textbook case girl .. has become recently spiteful of everyone (which will be mentioned in the next question because it's .. really sad) so it's been me and Tick.

The thing is, Tick and myself have been getting a lot of people who .. seem to know each other. And people seem to visit one another. Like one of Tick's will suddenly pop up and say "Hi!" or one of mine will go to see hers.

Has this ever happened to anyone else ...?

Now, for the .. textbook case girl. She's the type of multiple that runs around letting EVERYONE know she has it. I've known since I met her last year.

Last year, it seemed like she had an awesome relationship with everyone. She'd tell me stories about things that've happened recently, and she'd switch so I could talk to them.

This year, she no longer switches. She has three times, and each time, it appears to be forced. When I ask her where everyone is, she shrugs and says "I don't know". She has .. journals that she used to share with everyone, and out of curiousity, I checked one of them.

She hates all of her "voices", as she called them (I don't like calling them that, because they're more than voices..). She's even killed some of them herself. When one makes a mistake, she tries to kill them all. She constantly locks them out, and ... well, one of mine, Lem says that they simply don't exist anymore ...

She makes lists of everyone all of the time, and Lem says that .. she's simply clinging onto the shadows--the memories--of everyone.

Does anyone know of anything like this .. and maybe anything that can be done? I just want to .. tell her of what she's done, but I'm not sure of what to say ...
