			<description><![CDATA[<p>After diving in and out of the dark, dark, dark Springmeier material on mind-control (I&#039;m doing it in little bits), I began thinking about how to recognize a person with Multiple Personality Disorder.&nbsp; Or Dissociative Identity Disorder, whichever you prefer.</p><p>Here&#039;s a list of symptoms on MPD/DID from <a href="http://www.webmd.com/content/article/118/112901.htm:">http://www.webmd.com/content/article/118/112901.htm:</a></p><div class="quotebox"><cite>webmd.com wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>What Are the Symptoms of DID?</p><p>Symptoms of DID are similar to those of several other physical and mental disorders, including substance abuse, seizure disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Symptoms of DID can include the following:</p><p>Changing levels of functioning, from highly effective to nearly disabled </p><p>Severe headaches or pain in other parts of the body </p><p>Depersonalization (episodes of feeling disconnected or detached from <br />one&#039;s body and thoughts) </p><p>Derealization (perceiving the external environment as unreal) </p><p>Depression or mood swings </p><p>Unexplained changes in eating and sleeping patterns </p><p>Anxiety, nervousness or panic attacks </p><p>Problems functioning sexually </p><p>Suicide attempts or self-injury </p><p>Substance abuse </p><p>Amnesia (memory loss) or a sense of &quot;lost time&quot; </p><p>Hallucinations (sensory experiences that are not real, such as hearing voices) </p><p>Violence</p></blockquote></div><p>Also of interest to me was the info on &quot;Depersonalization&quot; disorder:</p><div class="quotebox"><cite>webmd.com wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>What Are the Symptoms of Depersonalization Disorder?</p><p>The primary symptom of depersonalization disorder is a distorted perception of the body. <strong>The person might feel like he or she is a robot or in a dream.</strong> Some people might fear they are going crazy and might become depressed, anxious or panicky. For some people, the symptoms are mild and last for just a short time. <strong>For others, however, symptoms can be chronic (ongoing) and last or recur for many years, </strong>leading to problems with daily functioning or even to disability.</p></blockquote></div><p>The &quot;the person might feel like they&#039;re a robot&quot; thing made my eyes pop out.&nbsp; </p><p>There is one close person from my past who I suspect <em>might&#039;ve</em> been involved with the MC stuff.&nbsp; I&#039;m unsure.&nbsp; I know his father abused him regularly (I remember hearing it once when I slept over); he was put on anti-psychotics when we were 12; he was obsessed with dark occult magic from a young age; he told me about having sex with cousins around age 5 and upwards; he wanted to be turned into a vampire--he was <em>INTO</em> the vamp thing, watching every movie over and over; he was masochistic, cutting on himself; his personality was malleable: he would emulate this idol and then that idol; he believed it was his mission to be an anti-Christ of sorts; his father--since I was a toddler--has always given me the creeps, still does.&nbsp; Also, just remembered this: when I became interested in magic around 14 or so, he&#039;d come over and want to do magic with me but <em>always</em> wanted to reverse the suggestions of any spell from a book I had (which was mostly white or grey magic).&nbsp; If the spell called for bathing in cold water as a preparation, he&#039;d say &quot;Let&#039;s do it in hot.&quot;&nbsp; If it called for white candles, he&#039;d say &quot;black.&quot;&nbsp; And on and on.&nbsp; He&#039;s also blue-eyed and blondehaired.&nbsp; </p><p>I last saw him in the summer of 2004.&nbsp; He has three gorgeous blue-eyed, blondehaired children now.&nbsp; He acted kind of petulant with me because I hadn&#039;t called him in years.&nbsp; It sounded like he had a very boring life.&nbsp; The last time I saw him before that he was running fake-check-cashing scams and talking about starting a gang that would take over the world and had a friend who thought they could build a rocketship to Mars.</p>]]></description>
