Hello everyone! Host from a newly-minted system here. I've been working on my first tulpa (her name is Mimi) for a few months, but I/we've been suspicious that there are other headmates among us we haven't discovered. I/We don't think we have DID, I never had an episode of amnesia and I have rarely ever dissociated or derealized before I created Mimi. However, I always had to deal with occasional intrusive thoughts, I always had a surprisingly easy time arguing with myself, and I already have a quasi-imaginary, quasi-autonomous world inside my head (still unsure if its just maladaptative daydreaming though). But while we want to discover who our other headmates are (if they are out there) so we can account for them, I'm also afraid of letting walk-ins into our system (ie. accidentally creating tulpas that weren't around before I made Mimi) and ending up with more headmates than that I can take care of.
(I'm still new to this whole multiplicity thing and I've been researching the topic ever since I've created Mimi, so apologies if I'm taking my pre-existing conditions out of proportion or if I'm coming off as offensive or weird)
Is there a way to verify the existence of any other headmates, again without ending up accidentally creating more walk-in tulpas than that we can care of?
