My friend is so forgetful. I hate that she tells me five different versions of the same story and never takes the blame when she\u2019s wrong. My friend accuses everyone around her because she can\u2019t recall what she\u2019s done or says. There\u2019s no explanation, she\u2019s got to be a multiple. I hear her talk in different tones and styles. I watch her when she moves about a crowd and acts if I don\u2019t exist. Shes got to be dissociating. What else could it be? Can you tell me how to check for sure? What can I do to confirm that she is a multiple like you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Bradley P.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Harlem, GA<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear Bradley P,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I can empathize with your concerns regarding your friend, however you have not shared enough for me to give an opinion. \u00a0I am not a professional therapist and can&#8217;t give advice, but your friend may be suffering from multiplicity, or something other than multiplicity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>It&#8217;s true she may be suffering some type of dissociation problem. \u00a0What you had shared are some of the signs.
