Frankly, I feel like I've opened Pandora's box and I'm a little scared to know if there really are other guys in my head-- bc if there are, first of all
That's a can of worms I'm gonna have to figure out.n
Secondly :// feels bad they're like. Locked up in there for who knows how long at a time?? Like do you wanna come out? Do you want... Some cheese? Do we All know how to play violin? What's going on?
And it seems so arbitrary but I still have my doubts due to like. Little things. Like although I feel like my style choices are definitely segmented, I think I primarily enjoy dressing only two or three ways really and everything else makes me viscerally uncomfortable. I also feel like. I always remember things like my trauma, even if I can't remember things like Instructions or even entire sections of/entire days unless I try really hard
Or Like. Nobody really mentions me acting "strangely" or "differently" I think my handwriting is pretty consistent and I usually remember most things. I think. But at the same time, this has happened with every Disorder I've ever had ever. but also I'm still learning and could have some major major misconceptions!!
But like. There's a guy up there! I see him! (For lack of better word) so like. What am I even talking about? Maybe we're all just. Really similar. I spoke with a friend about it and they compared it to masking, only really intense and like they've all got different names-- which like, yes that feels pretty accurate to my experience
The only thing is they don't have names but that's probably bc I didn't even know they were There but now I'm feeling notable ups and downs in things like dysphoria intensity, and like. Connection vs. disconnection from things like my name and body and things like that
