The most common in DID are mostly 5 Alters, as I been studying my condition, I learned that; But from there some people develops more with time. Also all cases of DID have a Protector Alter, I never knew about this until I heard from others, but my Protector is called Camael and he way different than I, even tho we the same. I like to called Fragmented Personality instead because it's pretty much an incomplete part of yourself, ripped off from your consciousness by a critical trauma, creating a partial or total disconnection from the present, memories, senses and etc.

I suffer a hell of a time with DID.
We are 30 (that I'm aware of) and sometimes it's absolute hell.
Of course, you can try to live a "normal" life but, believe me, it will never be "normal".
I know this video has a good purpose but in my case I don't feel related.
I actually felt triggered and kinda upset.
Sorry 😕.

Alot of people Watch movies like Fight club and they start thinking it's fun to have DID in reality its a fucking living hell.

In India we call this as "ghost entered in body"

Thank You for sharing this.
There is a common misconception about D.I.D. I love how you simplify things. I hope you are doing well.

I have a few questions if you dont mind.
1. Can you have conversations with your alters?
2. Do you show like a sign or something when you change between identities?
3. Are your friends aware of your alters? How do they act around them?

Sorry if these make you uncomfortable i just find this stuff really interesting

I also have Dissociative Identity Disorder and I applaud your creation of this video. For me depersonalization plays a tremendous role, especially when it comes to college and work.

Thank you for you courage in making this video. It's inspired me to make one of my own concerning politics and philosophy.

For me there's too many to count, and living with dyslexia makes it hard to keep track

The mains include of:
-Bruce (which is my middle name)
-Alcatraz
-Dick
-Donald (first name) who is still a kid at heart
-Garrett who is not much older than I am
-Riana
-Lucifer who's really a loving guy

These are the primaries that come to mind when I think on it.

Meditation and antidepressants have helped me a lot, as well as the other me's

Working at UPS is when I began talking with my therapist about it. Because I'd go from someone who's slow at sorting packages to the fastest person in the building without even realizing it.

I feel that I have did, there’s my happy, kind, generous always smiling and out going me and then there’s independent, mature, self less, slightly controlling, and confrontational me. It’s always been like this, it gets too much when I go through all of them at the same time. I’m currently getting help, stay strong💗

[daisydeg]

Hi please could you make a video explaining the differences of DID, CPTSD and BPD. Regarding Dissociation symptoms, PTSD symptoms, emotional regulation. As these diagnosis have great amounts of over lap between the 3 while also being completely separate diagnosis in how the brain with each separate dissorder will be connected.

[FXIRYBXTCH]

Damn I have this too.... I need to talk to my therapist ASAP....

[aniketyadav]

being a nerd is acceptable being a music lover is cool for the child abuse victim her identity was seen as appalling to her father or mother even triggered violence all she learned was she(her very identity) was violence triggering inherently and for a child it’s intensely distressing you don’t want to feel that way like death is imminent. So when they grow up develop into adults they struggle with these childhood traumatic beliefs. So emma is nerdy which acceptable behaviour or an acceptable slot where she can feel safe and at ease otherwise its chaos. But she also like music to do that she has to fit certain other slot. See how it is?
Otherwise she has to face her childhood accolades.

[AMPMosrs]

I live with DID and other mental illness entities and i love the fact that I’m one of the smartest people on earth, smartest 0.98% to be precise

[foodtalk]

you could have D.I.D right now and your alter is walking around,


imagine D.I.D as gta 5

you can turn into frank, micheal, trevor

so once you change into lets say micheal.

both frank and trevor will be doing stuff like wondering around.

try picture that

[mr.noface]

What’s really amazing while reading these comments is knowing you’re not alone 🥺

[marrow]

Disgusting thinking that people fake these sort of disorders
