Questions about Identity,

[heartcurves]

Well, I know I've read some people posted they have MPD, or another alter ego, or personality aside from themselves, and I was wondering if that's related to being a indigo. I'm kind of MPD sometimes. I talk to myself, and answer myself. All the time, especially when anxiety attacks happen. Somehow, my other self calms me down when I'm in public and feeling dizzy. It's my same voice in my head, but a much calmer tone. It's as though it's not me talking though. The thoughts don't enter my head directly, it's as though it's entering as my alter ego/mp speaks.


* Off topic, is it normal for indigos to have strange habits such as the one I've had since I was a child. I constantly rub my arms, or legs or side just so I can feel the nerves flowing. Is that common amongst indigos?

I haven't read up much on indigos, other than one book. It was good, but far from enough information. :P

:X thanks everyone who takes the time to read and reply. thanks for any help, as well<3

hmm actually it is now referred to as Dissociative Identity Disorder instead of Multiple Personality Disorder
but what you explained mostly sounds like a guide talking to you through your mind

it happens to me also
the most common one is called I Am but there are others sometimes guides try to mislead you as well and they try and trick you into thinking that you are crazy or to do bad things
I call for I Am then or try to block them out

in some cases I've actually had mental conversations with my twin soul and another close soul mate but it was through their subconscious... it was very odd and I didn't understand it at first but then it all made sense and they told me some important things to help them out that were sort of stuck in their subconscious

as for the weird habits
I'm not really sure but hey the little things are what make us us so
embrace them

It's probably more common than you think, everyone does this to a certain extent, I'm not sure if it's exclusive to indigos

Hmmm I think you're right. I'm not sure I have bad souls talking to me, or tricky ones, yet. But I think it's probably a guide. ^_^

And yeah I guess the habits are just who I am. Its kind of funny, though. :P

Hmmm well...okay.

well something i often do is thinking or try to view things with view of other ppl or even imaginary ppl, or viewing life on several view all the time, i don't know if its related to this =) and yes indeed i like to rub hairs and my skin too lol we spoke of this with anomalia zelta and she seems to do it too

Hmmm that's interesting. In astral projection and the nature of reality, the author says that viewing yourself from different perspectives is how you help elevate your consciousness and accessibility to other dimensions.

I'm glad someone else does that too.

:O? Really...so I'm not alone in the nerve thing. I always got strange stares from my mom and family. But, I don't stop, even when people give me looks. It just feels good...so why stop.

[Silverhaze]

hmm you know... now that I think about it... when I was younger... well about until I met my twin soul

when ever I was upset or stressed I would pick at my skin like pick at my nerve endings until they would bleed
I had these nasty pock marks all over
my nerves just itched and burned and I just had to scratch them
sort of the opposite or the negative side to your tendencies
but it has stopped now thank goodness and oddly enough the scars are all pretty much gone as well...

heatcurves You are psychic/intuitive that is why you do that. You are not MPD (I am a formerly licensed therapist). That illness is incredibly rare. You can PM me and I can help you more if you want. But it is my task from my guides right now to help Indigos discover and learn their abilities so please contact me if you want to know more.

Everyone has MPD, but i wouldnt call it a disorder. Its a natural occurance in human psyche, people just arent aware of it. They are formed from the ego and serve different purposes throughout your day.

MPD = Multiple Personality DISORDER so yes it is a disorder. Everyone has different aspects of their personality. But MPD is extremely serious and debilitating. Yes, the ego uses it to protect your mind from trauma but we are talking about very serious trauma that very few people experience. Throwing it around and attaching it to your name gives people the wrong impression about you. And please don't say everyone has it. I would never wish that on the world.

[Silverhaze]

It is not Multiple Personality Disorder anymore it is Dissociative Identity Disorder now. Same disorder different name. Why did they change it? Bad juju attached to the old name. They are find more about it now and so they changed the name to get rid of some of the weird misinformed ideas that go with it and also because it shows patterns of other Dissociative Disorders.

I don't mean to be nit picky but I find it hard to take people seriously about knowing about it if they aren't even using the right name.

But Miamisound has a valid point though he stated it oddly. People do talk to themselves either out loud or in their mind. It's called self talk, which does play heavily into the Dissociative disorders.

[bluewaterdance]

I think part of the name change was to put it on a continuum of dissociative symptoms. Everybody dissociates some, especially in adolescence and you could argue about the exact nature of trance-like spiritual states. It is similar to the pattern - everybody has sad days but that isn't the same as depression. I don't think you need a label even if somebody does something or feels something more than average. But if the symptoms are debilitating in some way - that's when there is really a problem. In particular some individuals with DID don't have co-consciousness of the alters and therefore it is difficult to maintain job, social relations or engage in child-rearing. Not that everyone has to do things - but most people would like to or to have ability to choose and not be held back by symptoms that no longer serve.

I have a neighbor who is a total alcoholic, we call him drunkie 5000, well when he is pretty toasted he'll come over and talk with us for a while, then I go outside or perhaps away from him, and he'll just be in there having a deep conversation with somebody, i mean its deep, its almost like somebody is really there talking to him, he laughs like they told a joke, he answeres questions, he'll say stuff like"well I really like jayzen he's a good guy and bla bla bla" like whoever he is talking to is talking crap about me, and he does this for hours, and the conversation sounds real, I dont pick up on anyone there, once I thought he was talking to his dead wife,(he has a daughter and a wife who were killed together in a car wreck) because b4 I knew that he had lost someone, I sensed a women around him, watching him...im wondering if he has MPD......he only does it when he's really drunk though

i think the whole idea of having a concrete identity is unhealthy, but i am used to no one agreeing with me. however people 's identity are often prisons to them and based only on a story, usually not even their own and therefore limit the persons ability to experience themselves as they are -blank slate capable of any number of forms of expression.. many peoples identities and sense of values come from things like their jobs, their culture and all that, while the whole time they are secretly miracles of light and sound but they can't see that. they start to believe their made up identity be it good or bad....and anyway a projection. even if ones identity is not rigid and allows for the various subpersonalities of one being to express themselves, with or without contradiction, there is still a story, a make believe this identity. when you drop all the masks you can become limitless, clear open and completely yourself, even tho that sounds like a contradiction. then you can also discover that you are just like everyone else and yet comletely unique. so identities are like costumes you can put on and take off ideally otherwise you can become trapped by trying to be something...instead of allowing yourself to be who you are naturally. but people are very afraid to drop their masks, they cling tightly to the illusion that they are only this thing and that they can find it and only be that. a being always striving for stasis in a changing environment. people feel weird about their own internal inconsistancies because the are seeking that static identity which doesnt exsist.
so anyway i understand what miamisound is saying and i agree.
but anyway what do i know i am just a nice asshole monkey angel dreamer who tells a good story. and i'm sticking with that, till i change my mind.

[Silverhaze]

honestly... I don't think we can be judged by the same standards as ... well I hate to use the word normal... uhh unawakened people when it comes to 'mental disorders'

many of us act in ways that are perfectly natural to us and believe things far out of sync with the norms of society yet we are perfectly well and functioning human beings

we just happen to believe and act in different ways

I think it is normal for us to have these things

these problems are just more labels... and should only be applied when they actually interfere with happiness or survival

for us it is a different story we may show symptoms or signs of these disorders but be perfectly content with life and even prosper

^_^ That's so great that you've met your twin soul. I hope I meet mine, one day. :P

But it's also strange how that might be tied to them... Maybe it's a part of feeling empty.

Because I've got a kind of problem that I think only one on one would help answer. It involves the personality thing.

I feel I have a minor case of it. If not a mild case. I have had something traumatic happen to me in my past. I've only been told stories of it. Because my mind blocks out all memories. I try to remember sometimes, but it just won't let me.

I'm thinking he drinks to escape reality. And in being in that high state of mind, or altered might be a better word for it, he could possibly contact spirits. I'm not sure as to how that works out though.
