DID in a nutshell - What is dissociative identity disorder?

Показать описание

What is dissociative identity disorder? This video gives a brief summary.

DIS is me is an online Dutch project aiming to increase awareness about what it means to live with dissociative identity disorder (DID), by sharing the personal experiences of a large group of people with DID. In Dutch the title of the project is a pun, because DIS is the Dutch abbreviation of DID.

Many of the symptoms mentioned in this video, I began to experience them when PTSD came about. Prior to PTSD I never felt there was anything wrong with myself except for some times when I felt out of place within society. For me DID is a place of refuge when dissociating. I feel alive when dissociating. My alters to describe are a band of brothers who work in harmony.

I feel like it is important to address that people with DID are not one people. There are multiple alters in one body

nonexistent

I have these symptoms but scared I may not be believed by a therapist

This is a good explanation but unfortunately it misses a huge part of the disorder, the “identity” part. One of the key concepts of DID is the lack of a unique self, there is more than one identity in the body. “Kim” doesn’t feel like she’s a 3 yo sometimes, that’s someone else in the body who probably has a different name and maybe even gender. “Kim” doesn’t fantasize that she’s as strong as her uncle, one of the identities was based on her abuser. It’s a good try tho, just wish it hadn’t missed this important point.
