This reminds me of how in the Anthony Padilla video, she was describing her suicide attempt when Kyle supposedly saved her by talking to her and guiding her, and she's giving her dictionary definition of what dissociating and derealization is like, and Anthony immediately comes in with one of his experiences which is like hallmark derealization, and I just found it an interesting comparison of her imprecise, general definition-style description vs. Anthony coming in with his experience, and it's like, boom, immediate, he has his experience, this is how it happened, and this is how I felt. If you've experienced what they're talking about, I think the difference in hearing it is striking. Anthony has clearly gone through this quite severe level of derealization before, Chloe, however, I wonder about.
Go to around 11:25 in the video anyone wants to see the part in question.
Also watching that part, I never realized how strange it all is the way she describes her experience. (1) Why wouldn't Kyle have simply taken over at that point? Isn't that his job as protector? Can't they take over just to eat a sandwich to keep their body healthy? But a suicide attempt, he has to speak through the intercom? I believe she also hinted at (in some older posts someone dug up) that she'd had alters switch in to stop her from attempting suicide in the past. (2) If she's "out of her body" and "across the room" (her words) then how was she able to carry out what Kyle was telling her to do? That sort of derealization is a separation of body and mind, essentially. I mean correct me if I'm wrong (not a professional here) but wouldn't what she's describing be more likely if Kyle did "step in" and take control? When you're derealized to the point of being "across the room" from your body, I believe you genuinely don't feel in control of your actions... I'm pretty sure it's an extremely debilitating feeling in and of itself, let alone for her to have all this conversation and hearing voices for the first time on top of it... If she was "fading" as she described, I would chalk this experience up to more like a near-death experience, or some kind of near-death hallucination. Haven't people reported hearing stuff like this before almost dying? It reads more like "an angel stepped in to save me, God and Heaven are real" than "I found out I have DID"
