Ah, right. *Bops self on the forehead* It's been forever since I really thought and talked about this kinda thing, so I got some of the details a little fuzzy. Not to mention, I'm not entirely awake right now.

I knew someone who seemed to have another personality but had dreams about and auditory hallucinations of the other personality, so I was never quite sure if she had DPD, Schizophrenia, or both. Unfortunately for her, stress made her symptoms worse, which was a huge problem, considering she was bullied in school. She got so tired of hearing her other personality that she was desperate to shut him up, and he only shut up when she had a knife with her. She finally ended up seeing a therapist when she got caught with the knife in her purse at school. She had said that she found diary entries she hadn't written, had memory gaps, and had once passed out in the bathroom after puking her guts out and a family member said they thought they heard her scratching the door and meowing.

Such a terrifying kind of thing to have to go through. I don't understand why some people romanticize mental illness.
