When & at what age did you realize you had parts?

This may be a bit off topic, but when and at what age did you realize your parts, guys?

Mod Note: I moved your post to it’s own thread.

As it was in the disassociation forum, I’ve left it here, but if you wish to discuss DID parts specifically please use Contact Us & staff can move it to the Other Disorders.

Thanks!

I didn't know what I was experiencing was "parts" because I neve knew anything different. It was just always my normal and I never thought to question it ,I never talked about it or even thought twice about it cause how was I to know it wasn't how everyone else on the planet experienced life or anything out of the ordinary?

It wasn't until I had been in therapy quite awhile that I was informed that parts of myself had been presenting themselves from the very beginning, even through email before my first session. So I guess that's my answer to when. And my age was in my 40's. But if you're meaning when I realized the actual parts myself, that took quite awhile after being informed by my therapist that I had them.

how are you thinking of parts? like, what kind of experience of parts do you mean?

i guess the short answer is late 30s in therapy. before that i just experienced myself and life as fragmented, disconnected, discontinuous and like the other poster assumed everyone felt like that.
