People should know that DID is created by severe childhood trauma. I’m so sorry for this woman to be suffering from this but so proud of her to be such a fighter and her spirit indestructible.

I super appreciate how her boyfriend was brought on too, and how he talks about the fact that loving her isn't hard!! It just requires that understands his own mental health!

Sometimes it's difficult to manage yourself with one voice in your head. I admire she's able to have conversation the way she did. She's also so aware of how her mind works and has insight in it. Wish her all best and only better.

Honestly this sounds like she knows herself, her system, better than most other people even tho we all have different parts of us and we tend to get caught up in one of those when they get triggered while she seems to just talk to that part and shut them off if they're not helpful. So interesting!

I’m so glad you didn’t ask her to change through them, like she’s a show pony.

This is what happened to my sons college best friend. He asked my son one day what his brain voices sounded like. He thought everyone heard voices too. Unfortunately he got worse and had to be taken out of Uni by his family. He is a wonderful young man, and I hope that one day he will be eased.

The backpack full of rocks analogy... isn’t that so true with so many of the struggles people face living with any disability (mental or physical). Like, it makes it hard to walk sometimes but in the end it makes you stronger. Wow. I love that ❤️

Not that he wants it, but he deserves all the credit in the world for being such a nice person. He's perfect for the job.

I like the way Chris asking questions...He stares the eyes as if he is learning every word of whom he s talking dont know exactly why? But I like it

She's so cool! I love her acceptance of her other fragments, and that she understands how they came about. I would love to meet her. This man does have the most amazing personality for these interviews he does. So calm, respectful, and genuine!

You know I appreciate her awareness of her disorder. Her cognative ability is so high. She owns it and lives with it. She is quite the testament of the abilities we posses. A lot if not most people seem to seek some level of pity, but I don't see that from her. It's interesting.

DID is such an interesting mental disorder just because of the fact that those personalities are just different in how they speak but everything is different; routines, how they act, how they write, it's very intriguing the more you learn about them.

My man right here is a special kind of special. I used to think I had a wide range of understanding and acceptance, but I now understand I have so much more to learn.

I love that people are willing to let others in so that people who aren't going through something specific can have a bit more understanding of the process or experience as well as empathy. She was very open and intelligent in explaining her own life experience. It sounds like she's doing well in her journey and I wish her all the best and brightest! Thank you for sharing 🌻

Thank you for highlighting that so many of us struggle with DID without amnesia. It's just far more awful. Sometimes I wish i got amnesia instead of having to beat myself up a day later when I finally snap out of it and realize I did something thats not me or not how i normally would react. She is so commendable for sharing because so many people don't understand.

I am so glad that this woman was able to get good therapy and that she has such a sweet, understanding and helpful boyfriend! Support of the closest ones is crucial

This just makes me more angry about the kids on TikTok who pretend to have this disorder because they think it’s “cool” or “fun”. I don’t have DID but obviously it’s not something you *want* to have, it’s a coping mechanism people develop when they are exposed to a lot of stress/abuse. It’s something we need to learn more about and understand better, but it doesn’t need to be glorified or romanticized, either.

I cried happy tears because I felt like all your interviews are with people just like me. Humans that want and need to be loved.
