In DID, individuals may experience different identities or "alters" that can take control of their behavior and consciousness. The way alters manifest and interact can vary significantly from person to person. It is possible for alters to be less active or less noticeable during certain periods, and they may be triggered to co-front or co-consciousness (co-con) during times of stress, trauma, or severe triggering events.
Factors such as therapy, coping mechanisms, stress levels, and external circumstances can all influence how alters manifest and whether they switch or co-host. Some individuals with DID may work towards better communication and cooperation between their alters to achieve greater co-consciousness or integration, while others may find that alters naturally become less active over time.
If you are experiencing changes in your experience of DID or noticing differences in how your alters are manifesting, it's essential to discuss these concerns with a mental health professional. They can provide personalized support and guidance based on your specific situation.
Remember, DID is a complex and individualized condition, and seeking help from a qualified professional is crucial in understanding and managing your experiences.
