The Long Arm of the Law: A Story Time | Dissociative Identity Disorder

Content Warning: Please do not watch if you are not in a space to hear about another person’s personal trauma related to police. Stay safe.

Sorry about the color balance. Some alters don’t know how to do it properly.

I imagine the events with the police would have caused fear, panic, and confusion, to name a few feelings when the police rough handeded your mum. Such confrontation on a regular basis is extremely unsettling. You are right. Mental health in the 80s was lacking, to say the least. I avoided the system. When something in the present is reminiscent of a traumatic past event, it can easily unhinge me. I think you are doing remarkably well.

OMG, I can't believe your instructor actually said that, that is out of this world! Dissociation in public is not always covert. At least not for me. I'm a Transgender Female and if I dissociate as a male alter in public, that is pretty fucked up, honestly, lol. Triggers will always be there for us. I had to stop watching a show I was enjoying due to so much r**e that was depicted. Your experiences are not uncommon and shouldn't be seen as extraordinary, but ordinary for anyone in our situation. You being so honest and true to what DID is for you is the greatest thing for anyone going through DID or any mental health diagnosis. Please keep up the videos, I know it's hard sometimes, it is for me as well, but someone has to start normalizing this disorder, and that can only happen if those of us with DID band together and talk about our experiences, no matter if they differ. Much love to you always -- Constance

Worried you expect the evil people to care, and that this will just entice them. This vid is very on topic for me: trying not to get triggered and retreat inward and be frozen for a week or more—seeing things from a child’s perspective and like I’m in the same circumstances.

I am so so sorry to hear this. it breaks my heart

[SandiTheTroops]

I know the freeze response all too well.
I say give yourself some grace!!!. We are all in different stages of healing and need to concentrate on what "we" need. Screw the haters. Dont give them space in your brain!
You take as much time as you need and know that your followers are right behind you.
Grace and Hope

…remember that our disorder is a trauma disorder in ADDITION to a developmental disorder… that shit shaped the way our brains operate under all conditions. It’s like the immune system - ready with a response to quell a threat.

It would make sense that you fell into yourself after the *extreme* form of online bullying…. ((WHO THE FUCK SENDS SWAT!?!??! ))
All of your reactions/responses kept you alive).

You are right…. What you have to say is it is important
This video is important.
It is So important to see faces like yours showing experiences that honestly reflect the (a) DID experience.
There are quite a few of us Gen X’ers out here not interested in the “cos play “ ((ie focusing on alters to the chagrin of everything else)….

Than you for pushing through this video…. And also take care of yourselves. Rest, write, sleep, eat, …..play with the kitty :)

(( People are so fucking cruel….. but James is so fucking cool!!))

The people you're trying to appeal to have zero empathy. I'm so sorry you're going through this. There is a special place in hell for the people who are swatting you.
Much love 💖

I’m so sorry to hear about the swatting. Those miserable no-life-having SOBs fucking suck.

I completely understand your feelings towards the cops (Similar experiences w/ our own mother. Father a crip/felon). Ig at least we see the reality of the situation— that they’re not here to protect and serve vulnerable populations. But we shouldn’t have had to learn that lesson so young. Learning that the lack of safety experienced at home is also a societal problem is just too much for a child to handle. It’s not fair…

I’m sending you all so much love n support. Ik you can get thru this and see the other side of this sucky situation. I believe in you so much. Please take care of yourselves when possible!

Our hearts go out to all of you!! 💕💗💕 Thank you for sharing your experiences too!! 🙏🏼

I am Brandy's partner of 18+ years. Needless to say I am furious. I know exactly who the swatter is. Her name is Eva. The police confirmed to me on the phone that it was in fact a swatting and now that I've given them the name and address of the perpetrator they are investigating and I hope an arrest is on its way. In the meantime I will keep everyone updated of the status on the community page of my channel which can be found by clicking my name. If you are wondering where my primary YouTube channel is that had reached its 4 year anniversary, well Eva falsely struck it 3 times and it's been terminated pending my appeals

My love to everyone who supported brandy over the years and especially in times of trouble.
Please have a save and happy day and life.

-Erik
