What do you mean by "host"?

-Host, as meaning letting control me, or taking over.

Where would you be while he hosted?
-he's never hosted, i now dont think that's possible, usally that's only Idenity dissociation disorder, and i am not multiple personality

When you let your friend talk to the therapist did he speak in the first person or did you relay messages?
-I spoke for him, again he would have to actually "host" to speak directly to the therapist

How long have you had this friend?
-2 years, in september

When did he first appear?
-during an emotional breakdown

Does he appear when summoned or appear on his own?
-at first, appered on his own, when in distress usally. But in normal circumstances, he's just a segment of my imagination that I control.

Have you ever asked him where he came from and if he is part of you?
-no, i've tried to become him before but his personality isnt fully reached a point where i can acutally swithch with him. Over the years i've added charisteristics on to him, and details.

Do you talk to him verbally or just sense him?

-sense him, talk to him in my mind, only.

Do you always do what he says?

-no, sometimes his encouragement gets annoying, more like preaching. Especially when he turns into his dad like/ buisness executive figure.

Has he ever asked you to do anything you don't want to do?

-yes, and getting envolved with somethings in school that dont intrest me.

Do you know anything about his life when he is not with you or before you met him?

-For a while, well i had to create a background histroy at first, becuase rerember he's my creation, he didnt just come with a full background history packet with him.
One impression of him was a Varsity Football player that was like a big brother, some one you can sit around and laugh with, another was a grown succesful buisness exectutive or CEO, this one was more like a dad figure. There's other's but i just threw them out.

Do you remember the circumstances when he first appeared?

-he first just came and sat with me on the floor, gave me rough handshake, i had some personal issues going on then.......breakdowns, so basically i just rushed all my problems on him, didnt bother him, ebcause he's not an actual person, he just listened and took from there on what we should do. Gave me a brotherly hug, which makes me feel better about myself.

Did you have an imaginary friend when you were a child or is this the first one?

-this is the first one, this is why i was worried I maybe crazy, becuase this is something pre-schoolers go throught, but usally that's like Mr. Butthead, or Mr. Madelesdale, non logical creations. I made Ritchie to confisinate to close as a acutal person as i could, because then i can talk to him like an actual person.

Feel free not to answer any or all questions.

-no problem
