I was just wondering, have their been real cases where someone suffered from multiple personality disorders? I mean, not like voices, but has suffered from a disorder where they begin to become someone within an alternate ego?

I'm sorry, I know this is a very irrelevant question, but I just wondered for inspirational purposes.

I remember hearing a story of a guy who had something like 100 different personalities. He communicated with them through a forum he set up. Each personality had it's own screen name and posted back and forth with each other.

I'm sure if the forum still exists it's set to private.

Was there an actual topic, and goal, or was it just random posting and how he felt?

The book Sybil is a great non-fiction novel, based on a woman who has multiple personalities. I believe that she had 7, although I could be wrong.

Sybil (Shirley Ardell Mason) was said to have 16 different personalities.

Having one or many alter egos is usually caused by schizophrenia. They say that usually a person with an alter ego will have a double life also.
