I didn't have imaginary friends, but I did and still do have alters in my system which people assume are imaginary, does that count?

I don't think it counts, but it sounds fascinating. Does everyone get along? Is it a tiring experience, or is it just a natural process?

Note : all systems are different.

In my own personal experience its pretty tiring, especially when someone doesn't go to bed on time or does something strenuous and others in my system not knowing. And it feels natural to use, thought everyone was like this tell we learned more about what d.i.d. is and then we been able to get better at communicating with each other and working things out. D.i.d. naturally is a disorder built around stealth and lots of people don't know they have it because it's made to protect the person.

Wtf are you saying? That doesn't make much sense, care to explain? It's really confusing how you worded whatever your saying
