So to follow up from my Hats post, I thought I might talk openly about DID and the personalities that make me, well me. Most people still call this condition MPD: multiple personality disorder, but really that's just an old-fashioned term. They are all distinct and separate parts of me, but somehow they are all still me.
We start with Kat, who most would say is my little. She's a very immature eight years old, so more like speaking to a five year old. Kat likes coloring, being read to, snuggles and hugs. She is a very curious girl. Her favorite question is why. She loves "My Little Pony" and "Care Bears." She likes Looney toons, Animaniacs, and generally cartoons in general. She may not understand all of the jokes, but she likes the characters especially Wakko.
Kat has a teddy bear that she's had well forever. His name is Statepuff after the Stay Puffed marshmallow man in Ghostbusters. It's a 40 year old bear, and she's in a constant state of shock that he's as ragged as he is. Statepuff goes everywhere with her.
Kat is a thumb sucker, and when she's sad, she curls up into a tight little ball. All she has ever wanted was a Daddy to cherish her. She loves board games, movies, and animals. When she comes out, my cat actually curls up beside her face and licks her. He understands that she is a unique person in desperate need of love and attention.
Kat is most likely to come out in certain situations, and you will be able to tell she is there by her speech patterns, change in voice, and the awkwardness she shows with her body. After impact play, when a sub is usually coming down, she may show up usually crying because she hurts. She shows up when she knows that she's done something wrong and needs to be punished. She's painfully honest. She may also show up after a panic attack or serious scare.
Kat is the vulnerable little girl inside who needs constant reassurance, love and cuddles. She's not a brat though she will challenge you at times. She also comes out when the others are having what she refers to as "tall talk." This is usually when we are considering how a Dom interacts with all of us.
All opinions and perspectives are valid and relevant.
