==============================================================
AlleyCat is one of the several people who dominate Rudy on a daily basis, keeping their bootheels on his little pencil neck to the amusement of all.
Rudy's split personality refers to dissociative identity disorder (DID), a
mental disorder where a person has two or more distinct personalities (nym-
shifting).
The thoughts, actions, and behaviors of each personality may not be completely
different.
Trauma often causes this condition, particularly during childhood. (Mommy
spanked him hard) While there is no defined cure for DID, long-term treatment
(posting on Usenet) may help people combine their personalities into one.

People with DID have two or more distinct personalities. They do not present as
simple changes in traits or moods. A person with DID may or may not express
differences between these alternate identities, which can also be referred to
as alters.
Often, these personalities are completely different from each other. These
fragmented personalities take control of the person's identity for some time.
A person also maintains their primary or host identity, which is their original
personality, and will answer to their given name. Their primary identity is
generally more passive, and they may be unaware of the other personalities.
When a personality change happens, the new personality will have a distinct
history, a new identity, and different behaviors.
These split personalities, or alters, often have their own distinct:
name (Rudy, Bill Flett, 100s of others)
age
gender
moods
memories
vocabulary (grammar Nazi fucks up too)
A new personality will see themselves differently. For instance, someone
assigned male at birth may have an alternate identity as a woman. They may
experience themselves with female biological sex characteristics.
The shift between these personalities tends to occur when a person faces a
certain stressor or trigger.
Causes
The exact cause of DID is not fully understood. However, there is a strong link
between the condition and trauma. This may be particularly true for trauma or
abuse during childhood. In Europe, the United States, and Canada, 90% of people
who experience DID are victims of severe trauma in childhood.
The condition represents someone who struggles to integrate and assimilate
certain aspects of their own identity, which become disjointed over time.
Signs and symptoms
The signs of DID may vary, but they include a change between two or more
separate personalities.
Symptoms include:
Experiencing two or more separate personalities, each with their own self-
identity and perceptions.
A notable change in a person's sense of self.
Frequent gaps in memory and personal history, which are not due to normal
forgetfulness, including loss of memories, and forgetting everyday events.
When these other personalities take over, they often talk with a different
vocabulary, and gesture differently. In some cases, one personality may also
pick up certain habits that the other does not, such as smoking, or becoming
violent.
In the shift from one personality to another, a person may experience other
symptoms. Some people can have anxiety, as they may be afraid of the
personality change. Some may become very angry or violent. Others may not
notice or remember these transitions at all, although another person may notice
them.
Specific personalities may appear in response to certain situations. These
symptoms can cause a person significant distress, and disrupt their ability to
live their life normally.
Other symptoms may include:
amnesia (forgets how to spell or speak right)
losing sense of time
going into a trance-like state
out-of-body experiences, or depersonalization
engaging in behaviors that are unusual for the person
sleep disturbances
A person with DID may also experience symptoms of other conditions, such as
self-harm. One study notes that more than 70% of people with DID have attempted
suicide.
