I do not suffer from this disorder but I had a friend who was afflicted. For me, truthfully, it was quite frightening because the kind, sweet, caring person I once knew (for many,many years) could turn on me in a second. She was not herself (as I remembered her), flew off the handle, actually talked differently and truly seemed to take on a personality (or persona) that I had never witnessed before that time. To tell you the truth, I would never have become friends with the person has some of this behavior come out when we first met. I like to be around people who make me laugh and are kind to me and she basically wasn't like that anymore.
It's my belief that childhood sexual abuse (horrific abuse) is the primary cause of multiple personality disorder. I don't have the disorder but my life was forever changed by interacting with someone close to me who did have it. I'm going to admit something to you: I am not what you would call a person who frightens very easily -- but that frightened me. It shook my very core -- and I truly wondered who I had been confiding to all those years.

I have done some research on this subject. Sybil, Billy Milligan, then something like when the lambs cry; are some of the cases. MPD, from what I understand is that a child is severely abused and creates other personalities to cope with the unbearable traumas.I was diagnosed with Bipolar, but I have been told that I act out with several personalities. I am aware of this fact too. I have 5 different email mailboxes and have different content directed to each of them. I do have switch personalities quite often, however I haven't had the official diagnosis.

MPD is an interesting subject to me
seems most folks that 'have it'
have evolved from disconnecting
during childhood horrors...everyone has a different level of horror interpretation
I'd check the following site and read about folks lives
FYI: DID = Dissociative Identity Disorder (same as MPD)
MPD = Multiple Personality Disorder
oh and I've read folks WITH MPD HATE HATE HATE the book walking on eggshells
because the book promotes the view that mental illness is all about manipulating normal people
yeah
like folks CHOOSE to be messed up!!!!!!!!!!!!! cause it makes their lives so freaking easy
right
cool looking blog on last link

... my ex-husband says that I have borderline personality disorder. I heard it so much during our divorce that I went to see a psychiatrist to see if it was true ( and also because the divorce was making me feel crazy). It turns out that I just have a low BS tolerance. I'm now married for the third time and I will honestly tell you that I didn't try REALLY hard to make the first two work... when someone hurts me I just don't seem to have the power to forgive quickly enough... it takes me YEARS. My current marriage has been the hardest job I have ever had... it did take a LOT of therapy for me to see that I needed to try harder at learning forgiveness. I wish I had gone through therapy before I divorced my second husband... I regret that decision (but don't repeat that to my current husband). Life is a struggle... I would suggest therapy BUT, don't push her into it. I wish you the best of luck.

One of my closest friends has MPD. She was sexually abused when she was 17 and it destroyed her mentally. She has tried to kill herself many times, she cuts herself, she has a dangerous sex addiction and she is always very self destructive. She refuses to take her meds, go to counseling on a regular basis, follow her doctor's advice... she also has sew with almost anybody, male, female, gay or straight. She finds men online and meets them for sex anyplace they want. One day she went to a doctor's appointment with me and met a man in the parking lot while I talked to the surgeon, and had sex with him.
Needless to say, her actions and self destructive behavior are too much for me to handle and I speak to her as little as possible now. She is a sex slave for a man she met online and he abuses her terribly. He steals her money, tells her how to live and isolates her from her family and friends. This includes me.
MPD can be treated and controlled if the person works hard at it. In my friend's case, I believe she will let it kill her.

If you're just interested in the disorder, read the book Sybil, and watch the movie. Great start there. And even if it doesn't help you, it's a great book and movie!
Just an idea.

Sorry, I don't suffer from this disorder. I am interested to see the responses of people who do suffer from it and learn about what it is like for them.
