I have multiple personalities, I guess it's called dissociative identity disorder these days. My immediate family and my doctor know but no one else. I have a very high pressure middle management job in a corporation that would completely flip out if this became known. I also still live in the very small village I grew up in. l am very adept at covering for my various alters and my biggest secret is that I have no desire to integrate my people into one personality. I've gotten good at switching at will, to be able to use one's strength to compensate for another's weakness. Most of the time I am good at hiding who I am if it would not be safe for it to be known. My partner, (well, my wife now that NY legalized gay marriage and we got married) is a saint and I don't think I could pull it off if I didn't have her. She holds us together. If I lose her I'm sunk. I wonder if I have the courage to post this? I wrote it 4 hours ago and still haven't done the deed. It's now or never, I suppose...
