Question: How many alters do you have? Do you know which alter you are switching to before it happens? Like you personally decide which one? Or does it depend on the situation/people present /or other factors?

9-29-07 I have 'bout 20 'regulars'. Meaning the ones that come out on a regular basis. But I have more than that tho most are Fragments & not complete personalities. I don't know who I'm switching to. It tends to go quite fast. I find out later IF they are willing to tell me. Or if I'm co-conscious, I can tell who & why but it's like waking up from a deep sleep. You're still groggy so it takes you a few minutes to get your bearings. Sometimes I switch like a revolving door w/ many People being out. We don't decide. It's usually whosever needed for their 'job'. i.e. if I have anger, my Angry Alter will be coming out. We have asked some to come out i.e. The Kids to play so the Body on the outside can relax a bit. Most times tho, people are not willing to come out unless they have to. It's a deep job & can be very fatiguing.
