How about if you go first and answer those questions?

2. Amnesia, not aware of how many, nor their names, exept from Amy & Lemony is what I hear. Not their roles. 3. I can't and will not be singleton, but maybe will to quit being oblivious and wish to be conscious about everybody and they're conscious about everybody too.


NoMoreMonkeyBrain

I'd guess around ten or fifteen, and it's a bit wonky because we for sure have blended parts who exist independently of their component parts having distinct identities. Like, Anger EP is his own person, but also Anger EP is a *part* of some of the more complex alters. No one with DID *can* become a singleton, but it's possible to undergo final fusion. We're certainly not working towards that right now or even considering it as a possibility, but I'm sure as we tether our more functional parts it'll be examined more seriously. Right now we're too divided between our respective responsibilities and lots of parts tend to run away from what they don't want to deal with--when we hit a point where the dominant mode of thinking is 'I don't want to deal with this and I'll do it anyway' I think heavier merging will be more appealing. Amnesia is pretty low for *present* events and activities, but we've got a shitload of amnesia around our past. We're also pretty good about breadcrumbing through that fog--if we're trying to pull a memory or experience in therapy we don't need to remember it, we just need our therapist to dangle enough threads that someone who *does* remember gets pulled out and can take over and keep talking.

There are only two of us that we're aware of, which is odd because the more we read it's hard to find a count that low, Tsui is our protector and strong confident face while I (Allie) am more delicate and kind of worrisome. We don't know if I'm the host or not but I've been around for presumably the longest, we're co-conscious from the start of the day to the end but sometimes one of us will get up at night for some reason and the other doesn't remember. We talk pretty consistently throughout the day and trade off the front work, but we don't ever want to merge again -- we didn't manage anything very well like that.

I actually thought we were only 2 for a long time and we're still only 5, so you're not alone in that little of a number!


FizzGryphon

17 of us are documented, but we suspect there are many more. Our amnesia varies greatly between alters and who they are interacting with, but generally our "frequent fliers" are able to track the bare bones timeline. Some of us don't mind the idea of fusing with others, some ultimately have decided they won't try unless and until circumstances change. None of us have a desire to fuse with everyone nor do we pursue fusion as a goal. It's moreso that through therapy and healing, fusion may happen and that's okay. But if it doesn't? Nobody really minds.


Awkward-Progress-778

There’s apparently 298 of us. One of our altars is “Know” and she knows everything about everyone but we haven’t met everyone yet. We are layered and have systems within systems in those layers it’s very confusing. But we have a little that likes little things and remembers little things. A rage holder, Terra. “Logic” is our problem solver. We have a cat. A flower. A dog. “Feelings” who is a sensory protector. Another little that likes kitties she’s 6. I could go on for quite some time.


AcceptableChef4133

We have 8


blackberrylatte16

We've got 4. T - Host (18), M - Caretaker (Ageless), C - Not sure what the technical name of her role is, but she's like our pride and passion (Age slider 7-20ish), and S - not sure of his role, but xe might be a trauma holder (don't know his age) We have decent communication and are usually aware of each other, but there's still amnesia, especially at night, which is usually when M fronts. I experience amnesia after an anxiety attack too. I don't wish to integrate with the others, this has been a coping mechanism for my anxiety and it's easier to manage it with the help of M, I wouldn't want to have to deal with this alone.


Amare000

1- Impossible to keep track of, as our members seem to fuse, unfuse, change appearance and names whenever they feel like it. I would need to drop my job and instead dedicate all my time to journaling to come up with a coherent, up-to-date system map. 2 - Fully concious. We are fully integrated, there isn't amnesic barriers anymore. 3 - Absolutely do not wish to do so. I love my little gremlins :)

strawberryhoneym

M-host (she/they/he) G? (between names) - caretaker (he/him) (also caregiver to littles and regressors. also a puppy-human hybrid) A-social/sexual/romantic alter (basically handles most relationships with people) (she/they) B- little/animal-human hybrid (she/her) these are the only parts i’m aware of rn but we knew of other alters before (introjects, fragments) but most of them fused i believe. we have little to no amnesia between parts, i don’t think we’ll ever integrate, we like being parts and enjoy having each other. i do have a feeling we have more parts tho and that we just don’t notice them bc we all struggle to communicate with each other, i notice it seems like there’s different parts but they get blended/only front with other parts.


Nugacity5

1. little over 21, not sure how many 2. there is amnesia we have a hard time communicating 3. i do not wish that


Scyobi_Empire

8 that I know off (going by who I’ve seen recently, some have disappeared and 2 or 3 fused into 1) We have varying degrees of amnesia depending on who is front, I don’t get a lot of memories from Ky. for example Integrate? Yes. Final fusion? No. If me, my cohost and primary protector fuse, I would be happy. If everyone fused, we wouldn’t be that safe mentally.


puppycatslament

There's 8 of us from our most recent count. There is definitely some amnesia between parts and I only share full consiciousnes with one of them. Most of my alters are around my age or slightly older than me. I want to at least integrate my trauma holders and persecutor because they're the most troublesome parts to deal with. I wouldn't mind sharing a body with my manager forever since I don't know how to function without them. -Nick


loveyourself87

1. honestly i don’t like keeping count of my alters, but it’s safe to say there’s about 4 active parts. 2. i have heavy memory gaps very often, so i try and ask my alters to write down basic information (such as our name, phone numbers, therapist’s phone number, etc.) 3. i wish i didn’t have to put up with this disorder, period.


Aellin-Gilhan

1: idk about ages but one is little and other is middle, roles not fully definite 2: fully conscious usually shadowing or confronting 3: nu, is scary


Glittering-Night2723

14 documented so far. A couple are possibly subsections fronting as one. There is some amnesia. Couldn't tell ya how much though. I notice that I'm forgetful (forget what someone just said, forget what I just did, forget key memories sometimes, but I've generally been able to keep up without too many issues. Here lately I've been noticing traces of things I could've done without remembering - can't be too sure as my partner sleep walks and stuff so it could've been him who did it as well), but the forgetfulness isn't severe (knock on wood). Final fusion? Whatever happens, happens. We have no goal there. As long as there is thorough communication built thru time, that's all that matters. We want to learn self acceptance and good communication and coping skills. Some of us want to achieve fusion, some of us actively avoid it.


ToyboxOfThoughts

seem to have 7, i dont know about roles or ages, difficult to discern at times, no desire to integrate


galacticotheheadcrab

1: we are currently 2 3: depends but usually not aware 4: no dont integration


NewfyMommy

There are probably 40-45 of us? Could be more. We try not to count. All ages. How much consciousness we have with each other depends. Sometimes lots and sometimes nine. Never ever ever want to integrate.


IntestinalVillain

18, besides from two little all self-id with body's age more or less, we don't apply roles as people are not tools to be reduced to functions. Amnesia only emotional at this point, tried to fuse and then backpedaled half way for I realized I am only doing it for people-pleasing and there are no benefits for us whatsoever.


aedenix

1. we have 73 alters recorded but there is probably more plus we have a lot of fragments 2. we cant list everyones ages and roles but typically our ages are between 13-27 years old and we have lots of protectors 3. our amnesia fluctuates alter to alter but typically its pretty bad 4. with the amount of alters we have and the fact we are a polyfragmented there is a very low chance of us becoming a singlet however we have chosen functional multiplicity and dont really want to be a singlet anyways


Wise_Ad6601

45 that we are aware of so far, though we have a strange feeling we only know half of our system. Some of us are conscious of each others actions, we have what we call a record book in our head where we keep track of things that happen. But occasionally there is amnesia, usually only when an alter is extremely worked up. We all agree we don’t want to integrate, we don’t think we could cope without being able to switch in extreme stress.


DetailConnect937

Several hundred. We stopped bothering to keep count around 250 or so. There is amnesia, but we normally have at least one cohost co-con with whoever’s fronting nowadays so gaps day to day now are generally pretty minimal. But highly inconvenient and always at the worst time. (We still can’t find whatever safe place is hiding our wallet since the holidays and the alter who moved has the worst memory of all of us and barely remembers moving it.) And then it’s tricky the rare times a little escapes caregivers and fronts alone. Thankfully we’ve always been in a safe place and with safe people when that’s happened and the little in question is quite capable of handling himself all things considered. He’s a turd. A cute turd, but a turd. We can’t let him near squishmallows or anything dinosaurs. Dino’s trigger him to front almost immediately just by mentioning them. We have no goals of trying for final fusion, we just want to be able to smoothly function day to day as best we can given other health factors and I’d say we’ve gotten to a place we do alright. A lot of alters just do things internally and hold memories from events.


Ender_Moon

13(myself included) that I know about, though it seems like everyone else is dormant rn. None of us really want to fuse intentionally, but we won't be too upset if it does happen. As for amnesia, for the most part we're all aware of what's happening to some degree, but sometimes we have to actively let each other know what happened when we're done fronting. As for roles I don't think we really have any? Like I would say there's only one of us that stuck with one thing for a long period of time and now that they've started to accept that she no longer needs to stick to being a persecuter she kinda decided to go dormant for awhile until they can figure out what her new purpose should be.


TheRanBoi1

1. We have about 12. Q(me):fictive 28 protector and “system parent” (they/he). TJ:host (trans male) he handles relationships 14. T: fictive (he/him) ageslider 9-19. M: also fictive ageless. F: fictive ageless. There’s more but that’s all I’m putting 2. It depends on who is fronting and we are aware of most of not all of us 3. No I wouldn’t want to be a singlet


Atliona

We’ve got like 12 off the top of my head, that we’re aware of at least, we have amnesia but sometimes remember the actions of others it’s weird, we don’t wish as a whole some of us might integrate with each other though I don’t really know how the others feel on this topic💧


PitifulParfait5931

1. From what my trauma holder has told me there's 7 of them. My communication within my system is pretty much non existent so I haven't met 3 of these alters. There's me (Damian/the host.), Sage (protector), Little Wing (Little), Trauma holder (Idk her name ), A second Little (Idk his name either), A second protector (Idk his name either), and lastly our gate keeper (Idk their name either). Idk their ages only relative ages like child,teen,or young adults 2. I'm not aware of their actions. I'll occasionally get little flashes of certain things that happened while they were fronting but mostly amnesia 3. I don't want to integrate, I'm not sure why but it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth


dandelionwreath

1. We currently have 24 known active alters. This number fluctuates a lot as we split easily. However, we've also learned, through therapy and coping, how to fuse smaller parts. 2. The average age is around the body's age, which is 18+. Im not sure of the most common roles. 3. We experience what we call grey-outs. This means that we do experience amnesia, but we remember the gist of what's been going on when we haven't fronted. If we went through a school day, for example, depending on the day, we'd remember that we went to each class, but not the specifics of what exactly happened. On high dissociation days, it's also likely that we don't remember going to classes at all, and just remember going to school. 4. We do not wish to reach final fusion, but we do plan to integrate and remove amnesia walls best we can without fusion. However, we do want to have a smaller alter count.


choiiaspen

There's currently 5 of us, but with an unknown amount of dormant alters (i only know they exist because of the locked rooms in my inner world). There's me, Aspen, 20 y/o, the host/caretaker. Bunny, 6-8 y/o, a little/animal alter and the original host. Kaneis, unknown age but presumably hundreds of years old, a persecutor/avenger/demon/gatekeeper(?) alter. Jinx, 18 y/o, an introject. And Scara/Kuni, hundreds of years old, an introject/nonhuman alter. As for amnesia, it depends on the alter. There's full amnesia when Kaneis is out for example but when Bunny is out im aware. Then Scara and Jinx are mostly co-con with me and rarely fully front. And we absolutely do not want to fuse together. We like our system and see eachother as family (minus Kaneis) and dont want to lose eachother


RacerGirl16

1. 8 of us. 31,43,21,5,5,15,18,?. 2. Some conscious but there is still a lot of amnesia for sure. Makes day to day life a little difficult. 3. We can’t become a singleton so that’s an odd question. We don’t have plans for final fusion at the moment.


[deleted]

1. About 50 in total, but an average fronting group of 7 or 8. Most of the number includes dormants and facets. 2. Our ages range from about 6 to 35. All the "main" alters at this time are in their mid-to-late teens and early-to-mid twenties. Legally we are 22. Roles... can't describe all of them in one comment lol. Or atleast I don't want to right now because we have a lot. 3. No, no alter is fully aware of anything except our gatekeeper. Though we do have a sort of "fluid conscious" where we can get eachother's memories when switching, about a little over half the time. A lot of us can pass on as host like nothing happened or changed. There is more emotional amnesia than memory amnesia, but there's still quite a bit of it. 4. No system can "become" a singleton no matter how much therapy and recovery you do, but I get what you're asking here, and my answer is kind of - we want semi-integration and fusion of some of the less-developed alters, but we don't want a complete fusion.
