(no subject)

Wow. I really hope that I don't offend anyone by being here, and please forgive my use of terms because they might not be completely correct.

I don't actually have multiple personalities (that I'm aware of), but the main reason that I joined the community is because the subject fascinates me, and I would love to learn more about it. Who better to ask than those that have first hand experience with it right?

One question I have in particular would be how did you (your core identity) figure out/discover there were more identities? I have lots of questions other than that but I don't like to bombard people I haven't gotten to know yet, with tons of questions. I think it's a bit rude. Thanks. :)

Edit: Here's another question for everyone. Where did the names of the identities in your systems come from? (Those that have names anyways) I don't really know how to word that, because I am aware that not all names are made up, but just are. If that makes sense.

I think it kind of started with reading a book (my favorite book!) called Kissing Doorknobs about a little girl that is diagnosed as being OCD. That all just started my entire fascination with Psychology and 'Mental Illnesses' in general, although I don't really like to call them illnesses because it makes it sound so horrible. Also my boyfriend's sister was in a psychology class and they had a guest speaker that was multiple. The speaker had (and still has I would imagine) over 200 people sharing her body... his sister talked about her for weeks. I have no idea why I'm so interested but it's become an obsession of mine (and I have a lot).

*g* I know that book! I have OCD, so it was kind of nice to read it when I was younger and identify with the girl. ;)
