Read your book. Fascinating and perfectly written to carry many years of horror and gladness. I have a question. when you switched from one to another part of you did you ever feel anxious, depressed, nauseated and have some kind of great immediate bodily attack to your overall being? I can\u2019t seem to get the switch\u2026 I am a student and have this assignment to make a short fifteen minute powerful drama. I want to do it on you. It\u2019s school, not professional and I\u2019m not making any money on it. Hope it doesn\u2019t make you mad. I am not making your illness comic. But I first want to ask you if you mind and second if your okay I want to get it right. I don\u2019t want anyone to make fun of it but make it real to be understood. Thank you kindly. \u2028Switching Time is an amazing read, should be made into a play or movie. It has the right amount of everything needed to be accomplished. I hope someone picks it up. I will be the first in line to buy a ticket. Best of Luck.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Teddi, <\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for all your wonderful compliments! When I switched to another alter I would feel a sudden drop, as if I was about to faint and someone pushed a pause button on me. I wouldn’t feel depressed or anxious, but at times I would fear someone might notice. There were times when I felt nauseous, but that would happen if the switch was too sudden and accompanied by a headache. Headaches from switching were always a problem. After a switch, it would take me several moments to regroup. I would try my best to stay calm and not bring attention to myself. Sometimes people around me would ask, “Are you ok?” “Watcha thinking about?” or “You look spaced out,” but I would laugh those comments off without trying to explain a switch to someone who has no idea what she just\u00a0witnessed.<\/span><\/p>\n
I don’t mind you using some part of my story for a short scene for school. I’m actually intrigued that you would want to. I’ll take that as a compliment. I believe sharing will bring knowledge and awareness to this illness. <\/span><\/p>\n
Thank you for sharing your desire for my story to become a movie or documentary. I’ll be sure to post the news if that ever happens. <\/span><\/p>\n
Wishing you the best of luck with your assignment!<\/span><\/p>\n
