The Mind of Someone with Multiple Personality Disorder

You’ve probably heard of all the famous movies that feature multiple personalities, like “Split”, “Black Swan”, and “Me, Myself, and Irene”. But how accurate are these movies in depicting multiple personality disorder now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder? Let’s do some myth-busting!

Working w a girl that says she has this. But she is always her. Just always talking about her other personalities. Her beliefs and mood never switches. She seems to have just named her moods so she doesnt have to have any responsibility for them. Ive met somoene that really has this and it messes his whole life up. He doesnt know where or how he gets places somewhere because his identity shifts and hes someone else. His manuerisms change. His demeanor. He didnt knkw me the thrid time i met him because he was....not him ya know. But this girl just constantly talks about her moods aka other selves n knows them so well n every little thing they do...is that for real? She is erratic but seems to act up and say things for attention all the time. She will kinda mimic other people around her but shes always her.

Potrafię z tym już wygrywać
Potrafię już dostrzec osobowości i wybrać właściwą!
Przeżyłem molestowanie ze strony bardzo bliskich mi osób
Pamiętam te przeżycie i pamiętam jak osobowość się rozpadła, ten moment gdy już po tym wydarzeniu patrzyłem się tylko w jeden punkt i słyszałem głosy
Mówiłem sam do Siebie, opiekowałem się sam Sobą
Chce wam dać świadectwo że da się z tego wyjść

Każda miała różne choroby, różne preferencje seksualne etc
Ale poskładałem tą kostkę Rubika która się rozpadła
I tak określam te zaburzenie
Kostka Rubika która się rozpadła
