Ok fine, I take back my failed attempt at humore- altho it might make it more understandable for the rest of it if we had a taste.

Nah- it comes across not funny or thought provoking but assholish anyway.

You calling me an a-hole?
I can say one word and get CG in here like that. We saw it yesterday. She will protect me.

no, I’m calling myself an a-hole. And CG knows you’re full of it anyway.

Dissociative Identity Disorder is characterized by unconscious motivation as in the person is not aware they are changing into different people. (Still fake)
Pioneer is FULLY aware of all of his alters and makes a conscious decision on which alter he is assuming that day.

What about demonic possession?
Very real. Not joking, I have seen it IRL.
Total honesty, you guys know I like to play a full blown conspiracy theorist on these boards but I don’t really believe any of it. That said, demonic possession is real. There is a spiritual battle going on whether we want to admit it or not.

We discussed it a long time ago. I believe you’re right. It is real.
Could it have given rise to claims of multiple personality disorder?

Interesting. Often times cases of alleged demonic possession are dismissed as un/mis-diagnosed mental illnesses. Are you saying, unironically, that you believe the phenomenon exists and if so what patterns can we notice?
Are they the result of actual Faustian deals or can they happen to anyone?

Not my observations. As stated before, the few I have seen and believe were schizophrenics. One was normal until a bout with scarlet fever almost killed them. Not only did it damage them physically (via the brain) but it caused the secondary personality to appear. It was not fully identified till a full mental breakdown in the early 20's meant institutionalization and the schizophrenia was diagnosed. Every time I watch "A Beautiful Mind" it sends me back in time to that time.
Instead of seeing others as Nash did, they blacked out and another came out in them. Would be scary to find yourself in another state with no memories of the previous week or two and no idea how you got there. As stated in the post I was around the real Sybil and saw similar things in the other person I grew up with. if Nash could imagine other, how hard is it to imagine another self. The brain is still quite infant in our understanding of it.

Augusta is close to Aiken, right? With family down there that is probably how paths crossed. Scrooster should have been around back then but much younger.

Not sure what TIL is but if V&S was GG (in the heyday) he should be 50+ as that was when it was a much bigger deal. Don King screwed all that up shifting to Vegas and big promotions. Before that most every Catholic school had a basketball team and a boxing team and both were good. Catholic schools sent a lot of guys to the Navy and smokers were popular back then.

True. Typically as delusional.

That would take me pages to explain. It’s very subtle and takes a significant amount of supervised training to be able to tell the differences.

Can happen to anyone. Many times it is superimposed on top of actual mental illness.

Didn't you tell a story one time that someone who was possessed told you things that they never could have known? It was something weird like that, but typical of possession.

Now you are talking about an medically induced or modified illness. That is a whole different topic. Like traumatic brain injury in a schizophrenic patient.
Psychosis and TBI are not on the same spectrum as DID.

Damn, not the answer I wanted. Now I’m scared.

Don’t know if I shared it but a new patient showed up in an inpatient group and just sat and rocked back and forth and giggled for the first session. The next session, same thing and I asked the patient to immediately stop disrupting the group and participate or leave.
The new patient (admitted only 2 days and was from out of state) started pointing to group members and saying “you had an abortion”, “you molested your niece”, and “you cheated on your wife with your ex” and kept growling and laughing.
I ended the group but gathered again the next day -without the disruptive patient and everyone admitted that exactly what they were accused of was true.
The other attending physician tried 4 different meds on that disruptive patient as well as ECT and nothing worked. Eventually, the family asked for a Pentecostal pastor to come in and pray over her. He did and she was almost symptom free the next morning. I wish I had been there for the prayer time.
