I was sexually abused as a child and had early parental loss.
I often find myself in a dissociated state with two voices with which I am not familiar talking to each other. However, I only catch the "tale end" of the conversation.
It is a situation where I "come back" to reality, perhaps standing in the middle of my living room, and then just a 2 second fragment of the conversation I was having between two "imaginary" voices is available to my "real" ego.
I don't by any means think I have "fully formed" separate personalities. However, I do think I have "split off" fragmented, partially formed, ego states(personalities) other than my primary "self".
I also often, many times a day, "come back" from dissociating and find my self attacking my own body by pinching myself all over, etc. But when I come back to full awareness I stop that self injurious behavior after about 10 seconds.
This is a fascinating yet scary subject.
