That word, imagination. I do not think it means what some people think it means. We INVENT. We IMAGINE. We do have clinical mental illnesses, you and I, but we have deliberately, creatively, intuitively made up a bunch of characters that grew with us... through games, through stories, through dreams. And it is starting to worry me that this is being compared to something as severe as DID, which is destructive and unwanted. I don't mean the commenters in my post, I mean internet forum people in general. Trying to claim a self-diagnosis of DID is... creepy.
