DID stands for Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder. My channel is dedicated to debunking the stigma surrounding the disorder and spreading education on what it’s really like!

This was one of the videos I made very early in my YouTube adventure so I didn’t think to explain that in the video. Please check out my other videos if you’d like to learn more!

Comparing "DID is fun because you're never lonely" to "being trafficked is fun because you get to travel" is so spot on. A good analogy to get people to understand how messed up it is to say that.

The fact that you were married before you were diagnosed and he stayed with you thru this journey is just so wonderful and heart warming. Thanks for sharing your story!!

When you said "how could so many people hurt one little girl"... that hit me hard. I understand that. Thank you so much for this video and for helping me and so many other people feel not so alone ❤

I have narcolepsy (a sleeping disorder where I get horrible sleep so I keep having to nap) which has demolished my life, and people constantly tell me they wish they had narcolepsy so they had an excuse to nap. Beyond annoying. Thanks for being so open :)

Hearing "good girl" always creeps me out unless in reference to a female animal. Ie:a dog, ferret, cat, etc.
Is that just the coin phrase every pedophile knows?

It was hard for me to believe this was real, and this video helped me understand. Im so sorry for your trauma, but thank you so much for educating those of us who dont understand

Dissociation saved our life when we were head deep in inescapable severe childhood abuse.

I know this is an old video, but I wanted to say this now. I just found out that it is very likely that I have a dissociative disorder, which might be DID. I have no memory of any trauma, but I have no memory of my childhood at all. The Entropy System, DissociaDID, and Multiplicity and Me have helped me come to terms with this, and so much more, as my life crumbles around me. Thank you so, so much for what you do. You helped to save me when I needed it most.
Thank you.

Oh my gosh I was diagnosed 2 months before split came out and I worked at a cinema so it was terrifying to be at work knowing that everyone was talking about DID in such a way.

I think people don't understand that having DID often isolates you from people and most time alters don't even communicate a lot so like if anything, you're even more lonely... Especially cos it's hard to make friends when you have it

I’m not thinking “I wish I had DID” it’s more of a “do I have it? Are these occasional things I’m feeling real or not?”

I am picking up my cousin from a mental health facility today who just recently was diagnosed with DID. I appreciate your honesty and for shedding light on this. Ive been helping my cousin through his transition to a man since hes trans but DID is whole different ball park of obstacles for me. He lacks support at home so im all he has. Its challenging but thanks for showing me theres a light at the end of the tunnel. That we can find a new normal for him and he wont always be suffering is reassuring. Youve lowered my anxiety about bringing him home.

I’m sorry but mistletoe is an adorable name for a fairy 🧚‍♂️

I went through a phase of watching a bunch of DID creators when I was younger. No real reason, mental health just interested me. It’s been 4 or so years since I regularly watched, and my friend told me they have OSDD. You all are the reason I could meet them in stride and keep being the friend they need

Your psychiatrist was doing the right thing by letting you work things out on your own / let yourself learn more about yourself(selves). I'm honestly incredibly proud of you all. I'm glad to see more and more people with DID coming out and telling their stories and being so unabashedly ready and willing to tell them. I'm a future psychologist whose main focus is on DID, and I can only hope to make the same impact this lovely person had on you and your system. You all are so strong, and you have a lot of people who care and love you all.

I discovered my did after I had children. I knew nothing about alters or anything of the like. I came to walking down the middle of the street in the turn lane with my kids in a stroller. It broke me as a mom. The understanding of DID has come a long way since I was diagnosed. Never thought we would have an outlet like this though.

Our former host actually discovered that we have DID through a horror movie. They were so shocked and terrified of us. They actually blocked us off from having any contact with them for about eight months. Then they eventually found the youtube channels of a couple systems, that helped a lot. Horror movies really do promote a stigma, though. -Derek

"How could so many people hurt one little girl?" I started crying when you said that... I felt the urge to just hug you...

I hate abuse so much. Everytime I hear the stories that people have behind their DID or any disorders from trauma just make me so so angry I legitimately love you and people that struggle with this. You deserve the world. Thank you for sharing your story and your life. Keep hanging in there you guys!
