This entire comment section is just proof of the stigma DID has. No one in this comment section has any right to say who's faking and who isn't. It's no one's business except these people and their doctors.
I had a very dear friend who lived with D I D, she was a lovely and gentle woman even though upon first glance she was intimidating standing at 6'1". One child alter trusted me and would call me, she would keep me posted on how things were going. I miss her, she is no longer with us.
So sorry to hear, thanx for staying by their side while they were still around, can def tell ya, that means a lot to people like us. Appreciate non judging people like you.
I believe DID exists, but I'm highly skeptical when people who claim they have DID are having that many alters. People faking disorders destroy everything for people who are actually suffering.
I am not sure they are faking a mental health disorder, just DID. Anyone in their right mind would not fake this disorder because it is horrible, scary and very traumatising in itself. The human brain is a weird thing. Hard to judge anothers experience.
There can be as many alters as the brain can have partitions. Your one petsonality is basically an illusion because all your braincells are communicating with each other. If you split your brain, your left side no longer knows what your right side does and will develope a duffetent petsonality due to different experiences.
This comment section is why therapy is private. "Real" "believable" etc get thrown around a lot. Sure, the stories in this video seem outlandish, and it is Possible some of it was made up in some way, but armchair psychology isn't much better than what the video shows. Documentaries have a reputation for being educational, and yet, you forget, when posted online, or shown on tv in some way, it's used as entertainment. They chose people who volunteer to share their versions of their lives, and people are walking dirt in all over it. True or not, it is entertaining. It also opens peoples eyes to cases of DID or similar things that some people had no idea existed. It allows people to see the idea that the Hollywood concept of these trauma-born disorders is displayed less accurately than some might think. It's a shame that people are coming here to say how these people are "Pretending" "Fake" etc... these labels get posted way too much about real legitimate disorders, and people do this about all fields of mental health.
I don't think that would be a good idea because it would require the people featured in this to share traumatic experiences which could be triggering to them but also to people watching this. None of the featured disorders in this series gets in depth about the origins which I think is a good thing because it allows the people who are featured to remain wholly unique.
A DID interview with a lady with 2,500 alters. On 60 minutes Australia. Jeni Hanes won a court battle with alters in supreme court on the stand. She also wrote a book called The Girl In The Green Dress by Jeni Hanes. Excellent read,but is very very sad.
Right I’m not buying it , usually the other person is not aware when the other alter takes over , so if she’s going shopping then it’s only one alter shopping , they are just idiots
I believe that if it is real then alot therapy is needed to fix the diagnosis not date someone else who has it as well. That's like a drug addiction dating a drug addiction.
I wish we had some explanation on why this disorder forms and how it works, not just "switching and explaining cool random things". This is just as harmful as all the media calling people with DID serial killers. DID is not a cool quirk to post about on tik tok, it is a serious disorder that forms from severe childhood trauma. And also, treatment is possible.
Agreed nonsense and disturbing putting out of context … it’s a very serious topic and they show these people like having fun switching personality without explaining the severe trauma behind 😞
Literally listen to the names that were chosen for these alters. "Damien", "Xander", "Shade"...these are fanfiction characters being performed by a pair of LARPers. It's genuinely insulting to the people who truly suffer from disassociative amnesia and trauma.
They can actually tell!! I've lived with DID for most of my life and the dog I grew up with is really good at telling when I'm going to switch between personalities. He likes some more than others and even immediately goes to lick and cuddle the "little" or child alter when she appears. Super interesting!!
Thanks, Willow and Squeaks, for answering from your own experience. I had the same question as Lana, and the same theory that dogs would know the difference between the alters due to their great perception and sensitivity.
I understand that this is a real disorder however its seemed to have turned into a trend. This disorder comes with EXTREME prolonged trauma and im just not sure that this is happening to soooo many people in this generation
It’s not. I mean there may be one person out there somewhere that really feels like they have more then 1 personality but for the most part it’s their imagination. Like a child having an imaginary friend.
You should NOT believe those people who are UA-camrs and pretend to have DID and then they conveniently have only one to two handful of "alters " and also "ghost, demon alters " etc and play dress up with them. Those most likely don't have DID. It's funny how all the young people on UA-cam"manage their DID and get rich from it, when the other ones are strugglin
I know people fake this. The fact that teenage girls can get an extre 50,000 to a million subs on UA-cam or ticktock necessitates a certain amount of faking going on. It’s like asking how many people cashing checks are passing forged checks? Well we know it’s not zero because dishonest people with low risk aversion exist and because you can make money forging checks.
I REALLY WISH THE MEDIA WOULD DO THERE RESEARCH HERE! Iv suffered with this disorder for over 30 some yrs and 9 yrs of intense therapy and this story is 100% the worst display of DID Iv seen! Maybe do a story of someone who really does have it with extensive medical background and disabilities from it😡
I find it extremely fascinating. Thank you for your honesty. I'm guessing you have seen the lady called Helen who was in a British documentary? It certainly opened my eyes. I find it very sad that it seems that folks who have DID say they don't have friends. Not enough education about mental health and yet it's one of the most important things to function in life. Why can't we all be more accepting of differences? I'm willing to be educated and be understanding. Unfortunately I don't think this documentary was very good at portraying what living with DID as they're all quite young and of similar age. This isn't a recent disorder right? I'm 52 and have always known it to be multiple personalities so it's not a new thing..wish I knew more about it.
@rachelpage1971 I dont understand how even the news or documentaries do this? The one guy here in the US called the winter system, who also attacked me, came out saying he lied and didn't have it. And that documentary is still up on U Tube here as well. Ask So many times saying - they lied, and got caught, why are you leaving this documentary up? Because people with real DID, they will tell you, its not fun and glamorizing like the displays these actors put on! I'd love them to have brain scans like I did! I can guarantee you, they will be different than mine! None of them even have history or evidence to back up there nonesense because the people doing the videos are too scared to ask. I got 3 boxes full of the history junk and medical issues! I don't hide or lie about the scars and reconstructive surgeries, etc.
The media has a job to do. They're not education, they're entertainment. That being said, DID and OSDD are not the same in every case, and usually are very different. They do not want to run a story on super tragic cases, so they tend to run towards more "entertaining" cases, naturally. It doesn't help to have people with similar conditionings discounting each other when instead we can uplift each other.
Thanks for sharing. I studied psychology and had a real interest in DID. I studied it for several years, talked to many people who claimed to have it and never found even 1 that I truly believed had it. I always said I do believe there could be someone out there who really feels like that have it but I do believe 99.9999% of people really do not. They just want attention. Thanks for sharing 💖
My daughter is struggling with this now. She has been diagnosed and is in treatment for at least one other disorder (FND) These documentaries imply that people with DID can "choose" to dissociate, or to "switch". My daughter not only cannot, she has absolutely no control. We are only just beginning to try to understand what she is going through, and it does stem from severe trauma as a child. The way these people are so matter of fact does not ring true. My daughter hates that she cannot be sure of what is going to happen, and stress terrifies her as she may dissociate and not be able to control her own behaviour or even know what is happening. I do get that TV programs are for entertainment, but in the same way that a lot of films have given false information on this disorder and given it a terrible name, it is also true that this type of program tries to make it trendy. It is NOT cool. It is a miserable thing to suffer from
It's always "cool" alters, it's never 46 year old Barry who is a bricklayer from Cheshire that likes to go to the pub with his mates to watch football and drink a pint

People may be skeptical of systems with hundreds or dozens of alters, but they don’t understand that some alters/parts are more developed than others. That’s how you get large numbers. The larger the number the more a higher fraction of the alters resemble flashbacks or tics, though they are more developed than either, but still way less developed than alters that have spent a lot of time fronting (being “out out” of in control) or being conscious or are capable of fronting.
Not all alters (stands for alternate state of consciousness and is the term for 'personalities' in DID) in a system front! Fronting means being in executive control of the body. And you actually bring up a valid point. In systems with large quantities of alters it can be a common issue; how do we assure that everyone who wants it gets time in the body to do their hobbies?
@@dewilew2137 What's ridiculous is that you were unable to grasp the complex concepts I presented and decided because you are struggling to understand; that a scientifically proven condition is ridiculous. Maybe you need to hone your understanding skills? The solution to ignorance is to not put up walls to block out knowledge, even if you are struggling to grasp it. The more you study, the more you'll understand!
I’m not buying it , usually the other person is not aware when the other alter takes over , so if she’s going shopping then it’s only one alter shopping , they are just idiots
If you read the DSM-5 it does not say to be diagnosed you have to not have communication with your parts. That’s what therapy is for is to be able to communicate with parts, and yes not every part is going to be aware of each other but that’s not every case. I have parts where I know a lot because we build communication over hard work but there’s other parts where I put the same effort but because of dissociation I only know like there name and few things about them.
Man I have had several cases of disorientation. I would be lost unsure of where I’m going, placing things in the wrong place (metal utensils/keys/phone in freezer/washer) I never remember going there, doing these things. My therapist says it is moments of disassociation but I have no idea who I become ect so until now I refuse to believe that’s really what’s going on
@@Pandagurl218 There’s other dissociative disorders that doesn’t include Alters Parts other personality’s. Dissociative Amnesia. Dissociative Amnesia with Fugue. and Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder.
ARE YOU A CERTIFIED , DOCTOR ? Are you A ACCREDITED PROFESSIONAL MD? Go to a SUPPORT GROUP FOR FRIENDS & FAMILIES OF D.I. D.. At LEAST EDUCATE YOURSELF , on this extremely painful illness / DISORDER. So very many people will never have healing. Some take there own lives. ALMOST ALL OF WHAT YOU SEE , is just “ GIDDINESS “. If you ever can , GO TO SOME MEETINGS,. MULTIPLES, ALTERS, PARTS, all just names. MOST OF THE SEVERE D.I.D.’ Are so shattered & fragmented , IT TAKES YEARS AND YEARS TO BECOME WHOLE. There are some pretty good books now. Again, the silliness and giddiness, is rarely for those who seriously get treatment. THE BEST PSYCHIATRIST, are FORENSIC. Some choose to press charges, & even go to COURT. THE GOAL OF RECOVERY , IS TO INTIGRATE ALL OR PARTS , SALVAGE SOME PARTS, or just LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER. I choose out of 10 PARTS , to KEEP only ONE. TOOK ME YEARS & YEARS , UNCOVER , DISCOVER , GET ACQUAINTED, NAMES / IDENTIFY, who , what, where , why , how, etc. They all have been greatly , AFFLICTED, MUCH RAGE, MUCH GRIEVING, WITH PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, MENTAL ANGUISH, and LETTING GO. SO , BEST TO NOT JUDGE , A BOOK BY ITS COVER.
I don’t think people understand how rare this disorder is so for the amount of people who seem to all of a sudden have it is absolutely ridiculous. I feel bad for people who actually have it for real because it’s not something that should be glamorized or trendy. It’s a crippling and mentally painful disorder.
Right I’m not buying it , usually the other person is not aware when the other alter takes over , so if she’s going shopping then it’s only one alter shopping , they are just idiots
@@mykiea5156don't spread that lie in the comments. They literally are going to therapy to BE ABLE TO BE AWARE OF THEIR ALTERS and communicate with them. Don't talk about things you have no damn clue about. You're like a parrot 🦜 you hear one thing from a useless video and then repeat it in the comments like you have any kind of knowledge. Ridiculous
Seriously do they think people believe this? This is a serious condition that I believe could happen from severe trauma not 2 attention seeking bizarre women
Anybody here medically diagnosed or are we just going off what is being said? Why when two altera are fighting cuz Stacie was said to have heard the fight, did Stacie get the black eye? She wasn't in the fight and Stacie was the one presenting......
I have a medical diagnosis of Depersonalization however the trauma is shit.....i just am conflicted and curious to what people claiming to have Split personality have gone through as a child. I have never met or found proper representation and find most of it offensive. I am also an emotional wreck compared to these people.
@HankTheCowDog72 a lot of pain and assessments, tests, and disabilties. At least for me. I show my medical records and talk in great detail of what it was like and the research behind it. I had brain scans and tests you cant even imagine. My abuse left my body severely scared and had to have reconstructive surgeries because of that. So yes, some people not like in this video, have really gone through what is a medical history of abuse is, and it can't be hidden.
I think these people are lovely with all of the alters. I cannot believe the insensitive and negative comments here. This doc portrays really lovely people and my heart goes out to them. I was smiling most of the time and admiring their coping strategies. I think you have to have some complex trauma background to get it, I have CPTSD. I admire these people for surviving.
Idk dude.... they look like they spend to much time on tic tok! Maybe looking for clout. Dont believe it at all. And that sucks cause that shit is real deal with some people.
Yeah I've came up with "alters" as well, but they're just part of my personality. They don't take over kr anything. I mean we sometimes appear as different people because everybody's personality is multi-dimensional. This looks like a way to manage trauma, but it also looks like a current trend amongst people with similar background/trauma needing a place and people to belong with.
A " trend", your comments hurt people like us, who have had a lifetime of M.P.D. ruining our relationships and jobs, and schooling! Seriously..." a trend"?!! Ugh.
@@LaFemmFatal Oh please. I'm not buying this for a second. People with DID don't describe themselves as someone completely different in physical appearance. "I'm tall, dark, have blue eyes", when she is anything but. Are you telling she sees a tall slender man with blue eyes when she looks in the mirror? Its one thing to have different personalities and another thing altogether to describe your physical appearance as something which it clearly is not. That's simply called "delusional".
@@dlyras She’s describing how her alter looks in the head space, I’d be a delusion if she thought the body looked that way. She’s not saying that’s how the body looks she was describing how the personality would look if they had their own body. Alters can have different appearances in the head space, this comment and yours are mischaracterizing the context in which she is speaking and it’s misleading and dangerous. These people already have to deal with being called delusional, I know people with DID.
@@LaFemmFatal So if I’m a 60 year old man, and I tell you that one of my personalities is a fit, handsome, playful 15 year old boy who is attracted to 13 year old girls, you’re ok with me calling myself DID instead of the other name people would call me? If not why not?
@@dlyras That’s why people have to get diagnosed or have reasonable suspicion/symptoms. It’s uncommon that people to lie about major disorders like DID and based on statistics most people aren’t. The scenario your setting up is disingenuous in suggesting that that person doesn’t have DID. That’s irrelevant, I’m talking about people with DID describing there alters, the alters know how the body looks and usually aren’t under the illusion that their appearance in the head space is expressed outside. There is no false or irrational belief here. The DID brain uses symbolism including appearance to express an alter and pack it into a packet of separate consciousness for the protection of the afflicted individual. In fact alters can have gender dysphoria, but that alter isn’t delusional because in the head space they are the gender they feel they are, but they understand especially if they aren’t the host that the body is not theirs, and will often refrain from altering it against the other alters wishes. There is no irrational or false belief as that consciousness is a different part of the brain and is also affected differently by physiology. Some alters can need prescription glasses and diagnosed conditions that are scientifically observable while others may not have those issues or conditions. Your insinuating that an old man will identify as a different personality to be accepted as a predator. That’s not rational because child molesters don’t need an excuse or have to appeal to others, nor do any mental conditions like pedophilia bar you from the legality. You can’t even use mental health as an excuse in many legal or social cases for many things.
Someone I knew had a client that had this. He never knew if the actual white woman was coming in or the Hispanic personality. He would find out based on how they were dressed & how they spoke.
If this personas doesnt hurt anyone out of this situation then i dont care do you boo .. but those 400 personalities love food😂 im fat but its because i eat for 400 people .. the lady with her mom she seems more legit you can see somthing is wrong .. the other 3 seems scaly
My 14 year old precious baby girl has this from childhood trauma and she has never done anything really wrong ..At worse she argued with her sister..She is very moral and involved in church...She is in therapy and this is very real...I know my daughter could never pull off what I've seen...It's real
I am unsure whether some of the people featured here confuse between imagination/make believe to actual DID. If anything, Jade seems to be the only person believable to actually have DID.
@evamarie2247 I get it. I've kind of delved into the world of DID just trying to learn how it is. That's why I said Jade's case was more believable than most of the people in this video. The others just seem to want to play as if they're different people and how the hell are you doing groceries while actively saying "oh but this person wants this right now and that person" same scenario in the ice cream shop. Nah, Jade's was definitely closer to a DID case.
Totally agree..I think Jade is a genuine case. No comment on the others. Have you watched "The woman with 7 personalities" about a lady called Helen? Very believable.
We felt bad for Jade, who's morher said to her: "If one of your alters pops out, that's just you." So the morher is verbally rejecting the alters. We had friends who said ; " We only want to be friends with_____, not any alters". Ugh ! Including the molestor parents...who caused this to happen to us! They were afraid of the Alters because of Hollywood's depiction of our condition. Its incredible how much misinformation abounds! Even Doctors are being taught that this isn't real.
@@Mauro-ot2uxyeah it actually IS believable. It's even more believable than all the people who pretend to have DID on UA-cam and conveniently have only a handful to two handful of "alters"
You all are amazing women! Nothing but respect for you💪🏻 and Jade, I think you really should love yourself more. I hope you find the strength to be whoever wants to come forward and let people deal with it. I think you are awesome.
Doesn’t everyone have trouble choosing a flavor of ice cream? How do you know it’s other personalities and not just regular indecision? I don’t have DID but when I go into an ice cream shop I hear voices in my head saying how about this flavor or that one? I change my mind constantly until it’s time to order and I’m pretty sure it’s the same for others. It just seems like they are having lots of fun making up different characters and assigning them names and preferences, it doesn’t seem like a serious problem. I would love to see a follow up in about 30 years. I have a feeling that when they are in their 50’s they will have matured out of it. It’s ridiculous to even attempt keep track of 400 people that you can see! How are you going to track of 400 invisible people?
It’s amazing how ignorant you will realize this comment is, if you simply go do some googling and see for yourself that it is, in fact, real. They don’t need your permission to have their own mental illness, and you don’t need to understand or accept it for them to be real and valid.
Love the way you think. This whole thing was such a joke, exactly the mfs with the colored hair like isn't that telling you it's all for the look at me look at us being extra as hell. . .
DID is caused by severe early childhood trauma. It's basically the brain's way of coping with repeated sexu@l @buse, or physical etc. The developing child's brain tries to protect itself from the situation by creating another person to experience the @buse instead of them, which is why they all have different memories and different roles, like ones who protect and come out when the host becomes anxious, etc. The brain then develops like this, further cementing all the alters as seperate functioning personalities within the brain. This documentary didnt really go into how DID develops which is a shame, because its much more complex than being indecisive about ice cream flavors.
This is something serious and usually from severe trauma. Nowadays, there are people who are saying they have it for attention. Too many narcissist’s attention seeking adult children out here… I believe I see some on here… 🙄
@@maschadarlinger1753yes we do. This disorder is EXTREMELY rare, but suddenly over the past several years, hundreds of thousands of people have popped up on social media to introduce their "alters" and "systems"...and the cute little name they call their system. In my opinion, this is just the newest trend.b
@@laerrus Exactly. We all have an inner child, but people with DID have one or more distinct people who are small in their make up. I mean, my daughter sometimes presents as a four year old. I promise you, it is not acting, it is something she cannot control and she can rarely remember what happened.
@@JesusLightsYourPath To give a brief Y T comment section answer. The diagnostic criteria for DID is that you must have two or more distinct personalities and that there is the experience of amnesia. There are now, many variations to this diagnosis which come under OSDD (other specified dissociative disorders), which include things like derealisation and depersonalisation. It is something that needs to be assessed by a professional.
The comments of this video are a dumpster fire--this sort of dismissive, judgemental, stigma bullsh*t keeps people from opening up and getting support. Before you tell someone that "they just watch too much TikTok" or that they're "faking it for attention," spend time in person and get to know them. You'll find that presentation of disabilities/mental illnesses varies from person to person and that it's much harder to be cruel to someone to their face than online.
Perfectly put. I also cannot believe the amount of hate here for these lovely people. Ppl just dont get it, the disorder, nothing. It's sad really how ppl can be so ignorant.
I would need to have this condition for it to be believable. I’m convinced it’s just heavy disassociation and also need for excuses to do whatever, more or less consciously. Not believable in the least bit
@@nikkimclay5474 actually, no it isn’t. Plenty of psychologists and psychiatrists don’t believe this is a real disorder. Also, just because something is in the DSM, doesn’t mean it’s “scientifically and medically proven to exist”. That’s not how psychiatry works most of the time. The reason the DSM is constantly being revised is because we have a better understanding of these things over time. Nothing is definite. By the time there a DSM 8, DID night not even be in it. Get a copy of early versions, like a DSM 2 or 3. The kinds of disorders you see in there will shock you. Things change.
@@dewilew2137 That's how learning works in general. But we can't discount what is current because it Might not be accurate, we can only do research, due diligence, etc. Leaches used to be used for most conditions in many parts of the world. They're not useless, and are even a model for how some things are done today. We learned bloodletting doesn't solve as much as we though, and don't do it to the extent we did at one point, but there are similar things still done. Saying that because it's in DSM 8 or what have you that it isn't real is like saying rainbows aren't real, because we discovered that magenta doesn't have its own wavelength. Yes, we're still learning, but don't discount something learned because it is published in something that has revisions.
I mean, the term DID and the term OSDD both include the word "dissociative" in their initialism, so... yes, heavy dissociation seems right. Aren't all diagnoses "just an excuse" to say that someone can't do something? That's like saying diabetes is just an excuse to not eat sugar.
@@dewilew2137do you have difficulties to process what you've read? Yes,it actually IS. like the previous person already told you. It's written in the DSM-5 . But it's obvious that you've got no clue what that means 😂 so even though it's true that there are a few professionals who don't know or believe it, just because they can't grasp it like you, doesn't change the fact that it's written in the DSM .
I've always been curious about this though. The repercussions of a foodie personality and an anorexic personality would surely cause constant shutdowns or battles 😲
We all do behaviours that make us feel safer, less alone, less anxious, less sad etc etc etc. Less any of the negative emotions. That behaviour could be anything, literaly anything. This is just one of the hundeds of thousands of expressions of that behaviour. Some behaviours have a diagnosis such as ocd, DID, stimming, food addiction, drug addiction the list goes on. Gym addiction.... some behaviours we do that we perceive as an escape or keeping us safe are stignatised, some are just as harmful but are glamourised.....
3:58 is straight-up demonstrating that neither of these people have DID. They know what they are supposed to be doing (buying groceries) but 'it's just not' is completely disavowing responsibility for doing so. There's no 'disassociation' in being fully aware of your urge to buy a sweet treat and then just giving into it because 'my inner child wants it'. Real people with DID don't act like it's a cute thing of 'teehee i bought too many gummy bears', they are terrified that they could wake up from a bout of amnesia and find their bank account completely drained because they went on a spending spree while they were not in control of their own actions. So, great journalism, OMG, you have found exactly the issue people are complaining about when they say that DID fakers are a huge problem nowadays.
Almost everyone thrives in attention. They have to come up with the extreme illnesses or disorders so that they can gain sympathy, empathy, and attention from others. I studied DID for many years. I have Interviewed countless people who claim to have it but never found even 1 that I thought was being 100% honest. There was always something about each person that made me feel they were acting. I could have been wrong sure, but I’ve to this day found anyone I truly believe has this disorder.
DID isn't real. However, *if* it was, we run into a major problem here within 30 seconds of this lady talking~ the host is largely unaware of the alters' behaviors i.e. the patient often presents with memory impairments that are causing clinically significant levels of distress/disorder/dysfunction. The number one goal of therapy is to 'merge the fractured self into one functional system.' A lot of what you see nowadays is people dedicating worrying amounts of time/effort into separating these 'personalities/alters' from one another by means of very unique traits only applying to alter A or alter B. Cause that's what makes the story more interesting as well as separating one 'system' from another; you have 3 alters? Well then, I have 5. And so on. It's honestly hard to watch.
The reason is well known actually. You should Google it and read about it. Don't trust UA-camrs who claim to have DID and make money of off it while playing dress up online
This comment section is just 🤦🏾♀️ Especially the religious comments I urge you to read a book or study up on the literature a bit, please, I don’t mean to hate, but I don’t think you all understand the gravity of your language
For real. I don't have DID, but I do have Tourette Syndrome--people on and off line have occasionally accused me of being "possessed by demons" and said that accepting Jesus will cure me. Guess what, I'm a life long Christian...and *still* disabled. People don't realize that the consequence of praying for a cure and then never getting it is feeling like God abandoned you or that you are inherently bad in some way. It doesn't make people stronger in their faith. It only makes them despair and fall away.
So I do beleive that DID is a real thing, but THIS? no... just NO. This is not how it works. this is NOT how it works. THIS is just to get attention and views. SICK!
It’s very interesting to me that they claim to have certain traits of DID but that they fluctuate. Sometimes their alters just hang out and talk inside of their head, sometimes they have amnesia when one fronts, sometimes they do it willingly with no dissociation whatsoever. Really inconsistent.
I unfortunately have this and it's really difficult to keep a job when your alcoholic personality comes out. I feel like all these people can be found on deviant art and fanfiction. BTW, I probably do have DID I just try my best to adapt and make it all flow so no one notices and points at me.
Sorry but you should not writ ethat you have DID without a real diagnosis. You can not diagnose yourself with DiD. Actually even for professionals it's hard to diagnose someone. You most likely have something different or nothing at all .
Sounds really interesting. My daughter has been diagnosed wth DID and i had wondered if hypnotherapy could help. i would be interested to hear more about this
With jade, she is describing social anxiety & adhd. Which in stressful situations can cause me to zone out. But most of us can see where reality meets fantasy for these individuals & it's clear THEY have created them to cope. They do NOT actually exist. It's a form of coping.. like a imaginary friend or ALTER EGOS (HENCE ALTERS)...We all have alter egos lol. they just give them names and personalitys or completely copy them from literature.When they "act" as someone else, which is really just them (speaking from experience we all have shy sides, angry side, submissive sides etc) we all have multiple personalities lol In front of some people im shy. in front of pretty girls i might act more masculine subconsciously. If you are on the spectrum you might give all these "personalities" names, back grounds etc.. but it's not real lol.. The people are just creating identities out of commons things that we all experience. Dramaticizing them. Just my personal feeling.
I’m a bit confused….So….Can the main person choose to let an alter out at any time, or not-?? I thought that wasn’t something controllable by the main person? Hence, why the married couple said working wasn’t an option, due to alters coming out and not knowing what’s going on or what to do, esp in a job setting. ?? But, it seemed like the girl was choosing not to let her alters meet her Mom, even tho she said the alters wanted to come out and meet her Mom then. I’m sure it’s different for each patient with DID. Just made me curious abt these particular people. ??? 🤔 🤷🏼♀️
Sometimes I wonder if I have this or if I just have a crazy amount of suppressed memories since I'm 23 yet barely remember most of my life and it sucks because I have the short term memory loss from adhd and then the fact I can't remember my childhood. I fear I'll one day develop dementia or something with how bad my memory already is at this age from trauma and adhd
Its also confusing that the multiple personalities have different visual descriptions, like the short girl saying she was a tall male with dark hair and blue eyes etc, that makes not much sense unless they are having visual hallucinations while looking in the mirror?
They don't have visual hallucinations. Their descriptions aren't descriptions of the physical appearance in the physical world. The alters of people with DID live in an inner world that is very real to them and their looks are part of their individual identities, just not physical. It is how they imagine their body would look like if they had one of their own.
@@lysancasilvestris4449 i dont understand how something like eye colour that a person doesnt actually have can be part of ones identity. The more i think about it the less i believe it. Thats called imagination and is something nearly everyone has.
@@Ruby-xk8knIt’s like think of a cow girl person to you want to cast for your story you have a vague look of what she looks like. Meaning it’s a representation of something for example most of us are males even though this is a female body and it’s probably because me Alice growing up always wanted a older brother to protect me and care for me. If you have any question I can answer them.
@@Ruby-xk8knI’m curious about that as well because they know the personalities aren’t really a different person right? And yet they have a look. It’s very interesting. 🤔
@lysancasilvestris4449 The physical description of the alters is total imagination and has no bearing in reality. The people that abused these sufferers should be punished and the sufferers should not be indulged in their delusions, which just make them stronger. There is healing for them, if they want it.
So when she can't cook because her alter they are both trying to get their other personality to front, like how is that possible they can just pull them out when they want. Crazy these people are just faking
i mean bruh right?! they claim one was 18 and the other was 13 acting like they cant make a bowl of ceareal or something. wtf or eat one of the apples behind them. they just going to sit there and starve lol like ok effin ay lol
I think it's interesting that so many of the self righteous and ego driven have watched this just to judge the people going through it. It's fascinating! Even though you have absolutely no idea what's happening in their brains, lol you've decided that they have to be faking it. Just because your mind can't process it and you can't fathom it, that doesn't make it fake 😂😂😂. When your life is free from trauma, then you're allowed to judge theirs. 😒
I was in hospital with a lady who had this. It's fascinating. It stems from terrible trauma she went through as a child which is devastating
Yes, the only way to develop D.I.D. is to go through terrible trauma in childhood. 😟🙁
Bs
@@kar702its documented in the dsm-5 it is not bs.
This entire comment section is just proof of the stigma DID has. No one in this comment section has any right to say who's faking and who isn't. It's no one's business except these people and their doctors.
I had a very dear friend who lived with D I D, she was a lovely and gentle woman even though upon first glance she was intimidating standing at 6'1". One child alter trusted me and would call me, she would keep me posted on how things were going. I miss her, she is no longer with us.
We are so sorry for your loss.We send hugs ❤
We are so sorry to hear that she passed on. 😢 We don’t have DID, but we DO have OSDD 1a. Please, reach out if you ever need someone to talk to. ☺️
So sorry to hear, thanx for staying by their side while they were still around, can def tell ya, that means a lot to people like us. Appreciate non judging people like you.
I have multiple severe traumas, but thank goodness no other personalities. I can barely tolerate my one personality. Must be horrible.
Trust me, I have it and it is horrible
I do, too 😢 I wonder if we had this would it be easier for us to cope you think🤔
I believe DID exists, but I'm highly skeptical when people who claim they have DID are having that many alters. People faking disorders destroy everything for people who are actually suffering.
I am not sure they are faking a mental health disorder, just DID. Anyone in their right mind would not fake this disorder because it is horrible, scary and very traumatising in itself. The human brain is a weird thing. Hard to judge anothers experience.
@@Lenergyiskey358 well.. As horrible as it is, there are plenty of people who are faking a myriad of disorders.
There can be as many alters as the brain can have partitions. Your one petsonality is basically an illusion because all your braincells are communicating with each other. If you split your brain, your left side no longer knows what your right side does and will develope a duffetent petsonality due to different experiences.
Agreed.. makes it harder to reach out..
@@elin_ Unfortunately that is true.
This comment section is why therapy is private. "Real" "believable" etc get thrown around a lot. Sure, the stories in this video seem outlandish, and it is Possible some of it was made up in some way, but armchair psychology isn't much better than what the video shows. Documentaries have a reputation for being educational, and yet, you forget, when posted online, or shown on tv in some way, it's used as entertainment. They chose people who volunteer to share their versions of their lives, and people are walking dirt in all over it.
True or not, it is entertaining. It also opens peoples eyes to cases of DID or similar things that some people had no idea existed. It allows people to see the idea that the Hollywood concept of these trauma-born disorders is displayed less accurately than some might think. It's a shame that people are coming here to say how these people are "Pretending" "Fake" etc... these labels get posted way too much about real legitimate disorders, and people do this about all fields of mental health.
Except it doesn’t exist
@@kar702 i dont understand french but i can admit it exists, dummy
@@kar702How do you know?
someone gets what I mean,
I don’t like how this highlights the problems we have and yet doesn’t go more into why and how it’s developed.
I don't think that would be a good idea because it would require the people featured in this to share traumatic experiences which could be triggering to them but also to people watching this.
None of the featured disorders in this series gets in depth about the origins which I think is a good thing because it allows the people who are featured to remain wholly unique.
Everyone already knows that. 🙄
Do you have D.I.D. as well?
A DID interview with a lady with 2,500 alters. On 60 minutes Australia. Jeni Hanes won a court battle with alters in supreme court on the stand. She also wrote a book called The Girl In The Green Dress by Jeni Hanes. Excellent read,but is very very sad.
I have no trouble believing her case at all.
These silly girls are just silly girls with not enough to do in their life.
YES! MS. H. great book ! ❤
It’s hard to believe the couple. They just like food. Make real ones sound fake.
Right I’m not buying it , usually the other person is not aware when the other alter takes over , so if she’s going shopping then it’s only one alter shopping , they are just idiots
They’re all fake.
I believe that if it is real then alot therapy is needed to fix the diagnosis not date someone else who has it as well. That's like a drug addiction dating a drug addiction.
I thought the same thing!
I know right... That's how I shop and I'm just impulsive
I wish we had some explanation on why this disorder forms and how it works, not just "switching and explaining cool random things". This is just as harmful as all the media calling people with DID serial killers. DID is not a cool quirk to post about on tik tok, it is a serious disorder that forms from severe childhood trauma. And also, treatment is possible.
I show that documentation and stand against this nonesense.
Agreed nonsense and disturbing putting out of context … it’s a very serious topic and they show these people like having fun switching personality without explaining the severe trauma behind 😞
Literally listen to the names that were chosen for these alters. "Damien", "Xander", "Shade"...these are fanfiction characters being performed by a pair of LARPers. It's genuinely insulting to the people who truly suffer from disassociative amnesia and trauma.
I wonder what the dogs make of the different people within one body. Dogs are incredibly perceptive and sensitive.
They can actually tell!! I've lived with DID for most of my life and the dog I grew up with is really good at telling when I'm going to switch between personalities. He likes some more than others and even immediately goes to lick and cuddle the "little" or child alter when she appears. Super interesting!!
@@willowgomez3103yep those animals can tell, my dog can, also my cockatiel could tell the difference.
Thanks, Willow and Squeaks, for answering from your own experience. I had the same question as Lana, and the same theory that dogs would know the difference between the alters due to their great perception and sensitivity.
I understand that this is a real disorder however its seemed to have turned into a trend. This disorder comes with EXTREME prolonged trauma and im just not sure that this is happening to soooo many people in this generation
It’s not. Many psychologists and psychiatrists don’t believe it’s real at all.
If it is real then I believe it needs to be dealt with in a healthier way to fix the DID not condone it
It’s not. I mean there may be one person out there somewhere that really feels like they have more then 1 personality but for the most part it’s their imagination. Like a child having an imaginary friend.
You should NOT believe those people who are UA-camrs and pretend to have DID and then they conveniently have only one to two handful of "alters " and also "ghost, demon alters " etc and play dress up with them. Those most likely don't have DID. It's funny how all the young people on UA-cam"manage their DID and get rich from it, when the other ones are strugglin
I know people fake this. The fact that teenage girls can get an extre 50,000 to a million subs on UA-cam or ticktock necessitates a certain amount of faking going on. It’s like asking how many people cashing checks are passing forged checks? Well we know it’s not zero because dishonest people with low risk aversion exist and because you can make money forging checks.
I REALLY WISH THE MEDIA WOULD DO THERE RESEARCH HERE! Iv suffered with this disorder for over 30 some yrs and 9 yrs of intense therapy and this story is 100% the worst display of DID Iv seen! Maybe do a story of someone who really does have it with extensive medical background and disabilities from it😡
I find it extremely fascinating. Thank you for your honesty. I'm guessing you have seen the lady called Helen who was in a British documentary? It certainly opened my eyes. I find it very sad that it seems that folks who have DID say they don't have friends. Not enough education about mental health and yet it's one of the most important things to function in life. Why can't we all be more accepting of differences? I'm willing to be educated and be understanding. Unfortunately I don't think this documentary was very good at portraying what living with DID as they're all quite young and of similar age. This isn't a recent disorder right? I'm 52 and have always known it to be multiple personalities so it's not a new thing..wish I knew more about it.
@rachelpage1971 I dont understand how even the news or documentaries do this? The one guy here in the US called the winter system, who also attacked me, came out saying he lied and didn't have it. And that documentary is still up on U Tube here as well. Ask So many times saying - they lied, and got caught, why are you leaving this documentary up? Because people with real DID, they will tell you, its not fun and glamorizing like the displays these actors put on! I'd love them to have brain scans like I did! I can guarantee you, they will be different than mine! None of them even have history or evidence to back up there nonesense because the people doing the videos are too scared to ask. I got 3 boxes full of the history junk and medical issues! I don't hide or lie about the scars and reconstructive surgeries, etc.
The media has a job to do. They're not education, they're entertainment. That being said, DID and OSDD are not the same in every case, and usually are very different. They do not want to run a story on super tragic cases, so they tend to run towards more "entertaining" cases, naturally. It doesn't help to have people with similar conditionings discounting each other when instead we can uplift each other.
Thanks for sharing. I studied psychology and had a real interest in DID. I studied it for several years, talked to many people who claimed to have it and never found even 1 that I truly believed had it. I always said I do believe there could be someone out there who really feels like that have it but I do believe 99.9999% of people really do not. They just want attention. Thanks for sharing 💖
My daughter is struggling with this now. She has been diagnosed and is in treatment for at least one other disorder (FND) These documentaries imply that people with DID can "choose" to dissociate, or to "switch". My daughter not only cannot, she has absolutely no control. We are only just beginning to try to understand what she is going through, and it does stem from severe trauma as a child. The way these people are so matter of fact does not ring true. My daughter hates that she cannot be sure of what is going to happen, and stress terrifies her as she may dissociate and not be able to control her own behaviour or even know what is happening. I do get that TV programs are for entertainment, but in the same way that a lot of films have given false information on this disorder and given it a terrible name, it is also true that this type of program tries to make it trendy. It is NOT cool. It is a miserable thing to suffer from
It's always "cool" alters, it's never 46 year old Barry who is a bricklayer from Cheshire that likes to go to the pub with his mates to watch football and drink a pint
Its like this for us. We have a LOT of very much NOT cool inside people who just go around quietly living life and trying to hide from the world.
Exactly why I don’t believe in DID.
😂😂😂 I'm dying right now
Lol schizophrenics never heard uplifting things when they hear things they usually hear negative things. Odd but they don't know why

idc how you live personally but please train/work your dogs properly. dont get huskies if you cant handle them
Tf's wrong with you?
You would think one personality would not have been too lazy to take proper care of the dogs.
People may be skeptical of systems with hundreds or dozens of alters, but they don’t understand that some alters/parts are more developed than others. That’s how you get large numbers. The larger the number the more a higher fraction of the alters resemble flashbacks or tics, though they are more developed than either, but still way less developed than alters that have spent a lot of time fronting (being “out out” of in control) or being conscious or are capable of fronting.
Do you also have D.I.D ?
How is it possible to have 400 different personalities? That seems a bit over the top. How is there enough time for them to present themselves?
The more abuse/ longer / more severe, the more alters, generally,
Cest vrai jai eu un viol colletif jai une perssonallité limite
Not all alters (stands for alternate state of consciousness and is the term for 'personalities' in DID) in a system front! Fronting means being in executive control of the body. And you actually bring up a valid point. In systems with large quantities of alters it can be a common issue; how do we assure that everyone who wants it gets time in the body to do their hobbies?
@@laerrusthis is so ridiculous.
@@dewilew2137 What's ridiculous is that you were unable to grasp the complex concepts I presented and decided because you are struggling to understand; that a scientifically proven condition is ridiculous. Maybe you need to hone your understanding skills? The solution to ignorance is to not put up walls to block out knowledge, even if you are struggling to grasp it. The more you study, the more you'll understand!
I’m not buying it , usually the other person is not aware when the other alter takes over , so if she’s going shopping then it’s only one alter shopping , they are just idiots
If you read the DSM-5 it does not say to be diagnosed you have to not have communication with your parts. That’s what therapy is for is to be able to communicate with parts, and yes not every part is going to be aware of each other but that’s not every case. I have parts where I know a lot because we build communication over hard work but there’s other parts where I put the same effort but because of dissociation I only know like there name and few things about them.
Man I have had several cases of disorientation. I would be lost unsure of where I’m going, placing things in the wrong place (metal utensils/keys/phone in freezer/washer)
I never remember going there, doing these things. My therapist says it is moments of disassociation but I have no idea who I become ect so until now I refuse to believe that’s really what’s going on
@@Pandagurl218 There’s other dissociative disorders that doesn’t include Alters Parts other personality’s.
Dissociative Amnesia. Dissociative Amnesia with Fugue. and Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder.
It's absolutely real, it's heartbreaking and fascinating at the same time.
You have no idea what your talking. I have DID. I can tell when I switch. Not everytime.
Interesting how everyone in this is roundabout the same age and none of them seem to actually struggle.
What are the chances of two people with DID being in such close proximity and being good friends? I imagine that to be a very overwhelming experience.
basically impossible
Slim to none. None of this is real.

ARE YOU A CERTIFIED , DOCTOR ?
Are you A ACCREDITED PROFESSIONAL MD?
Go to a SUPPORT GROUP FOR FRIENDS & FAMILIES OF D.I. D..
At LEAST EDUCATE YOURSELF , on this extremely painful illness / DISORDER.
So very many people will never have healing. Some take there own lives.
ALMOST ALL OF WHAT YOU SEE , is just “ GIDDINESS “.
If you ever can , GO TO SOME MEETINGS,.
MULTIPLES, ALTERS, PARTS, all just names. MOST OF THE SEVERE D.I.D.’ Are so shattered & fragmented , IT TAKES YEARS AND YEARS TO BECOME WHOLE.
There are some pretty good books now.
Again, the silliness and giddiness, is rarely for those who seriously get treatment.
THE BEST PSYCHIATRIST, are FORENSIC. Some choose to press charges, & even go to COURT.
THE GOAL OF RECOVERY , IS TO INTIGRATE ALL OR PARTS , SALVAGE SOME PARTS, or just LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER.
I choose out of 10 PARTS , to KEEP only
ONE.
TOOK ME YEARS & YEARS , UNCOVER , DISCOVER , GET ACQUAINTED, NAMES / IDENTIFY, who , what, where , why , how, etc.
They all have been greatly , AFFLICTED, MUCH RAGE, MUCH GRIEVING, WITH PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, MENTAL ANGUISH, and LETTING GO.
SO , BEST TO NOT JUDGE , A BOOK BY ITS COVER.
I call complete BS on the second couple. So sick of people faking this for attention and to feel “special”. Its nasty
I don’t think people understand how rare this disorder is so for the amount of people who seem to all of a sudden have it is absolutely ridiculous. I feel bad for people who actually have it for real because it’s not something that should be glamorized or trendy. It’s a crippling and mentally painful disorder.
400 personalities? Come on...
Right I’m not buying it , usually the other person is not aware when the other alter takes over , so if she’s going shopping then it’s only one alter shopping , they are just idiots
@@mykiea5156don't spread that lie in the comments. They literally are going to therapy to BE ABLE TO BE AWARE OF THEIR ALTERS and communicate with them.

I have diagnosed Depersonalization but bad trauma... I can only imagine how hard life must have been for someone with a clear split personality
If Temu made a documentary...
He he...
pahahahah that's awesome. comment winner!!!!
Anybody here medically diagnosed or are we just going off what is being said? Why when two altera are fighting cuz Stacie was said to have heard the fight, did Stacie get the black eye? She wasn't in the fight and Stacie was the one presenting......
Yes and this video is a joke!
I have a medical diagnosis of Depersonalization however the trauma is shit.....i just am conflicted and curious to what people claiming to have Split personality have gone through as a child. I have never met or found proper representation and find most of it offensive. I am also an emotional wreck compared to these people.
@HankTheCowDog72 a lot of pain and assessments, tests, and disabilties. At least for me. I show my medical records and talk in great detail of what it was like and the research behind it. I had brain scans and tests you cant even imagine. My abuse left my body severely scared and had to have reconstructive surgeries because of that. So yes, some people not like in this video, have really gone through what is a medical history of abuse is, and it can't be hidden.
@@DIDBooks-n-Research did you ever go through EDRM therapy? I have a referral but it seems alot
I think these people are lovely with all of the alters. I cannot believe the insensitive and negative comments here. This doc portrays really lovely people and my heart goes out to them.

I found Jade to be the most believable one.
Yeah sure, I believe the couple, they totally don't look fake or anything boasting one 400 personalities and the other 40+...
Yeah I've came up with "alters" as well, but they're just part of my personality. They don't take over kr anything. I mean we sometimes appear as different people because everybody's personality is multi-dimensional. This looks like a way to manage trauma, but it also looks like a current trend amongst people with similar background/trauma needing a place and people to belong with.
A " trend", your comments hurt people like us, who have had a lifetime of M.P.D. ruining our relationships and jobs, and schooling! Seriously..." a trend"?!! Ugh.
I'm just going to say something:
Stay away from DissociaDID.
Btw: Jade is the only one I believe.
Wait what why stay away from DissociaDID
Next time im craving something sweet, ill call myself britney and she will tell me that she wants a snickers
It’s comments like this that contribute to the hate people with DID receive
@@LaFemmFatal Oh please. I'm not buying this for a second. People with DID don't describe themselves as someone completely different in physical appearance. "I'm tall, dark, have blue eyes", when she is anything but. Are you telling she sees a tall slender man with blue eyes when she looks in the mirror? Its one thing to have different personalities and another thing altogether to describe your physical appearance as something which it clearly is not. That's simply called "delusional".
@@dlyras She’s describing how her alter looks in the head space, I’d be a delusion if she thought the body looked that way. She’s not saying that’s how the body looks she was describing how the personality would look if they had their own body. Alters can have different appearances in the head space, this comment and yours are mischaracterizing the context in which she is speaking and it’s misleading and dangerous. These people already have to deal with being called delusional, I know people with DID.
@@LaFemmFatal So if I’m a 60 year old man, and I tell you that one of my personalities is a fit, handsome, playful 15 year old boy who is attracted to 13 year old girls, you’re ok with me calling myself DID instead of the other name people would call me? If not why not?
@@dlyras That’s why people have to get diagnosed or have reasonable suspicion/symptoms. It’s uncommon that people to lie about major disorders like DID and based on statistics most people aren’t. The scenario your setting up is disingenuous in suggesting that that person doesn’t have DID. That’s irrelevant, I’m talking about people with DID describing there alters, the alters know how the body looks and usually aren’t under the illusion that their appearance in the head space is expressed outside. There is no false or irrational belief here. The DID brain uses symbolism including appearance to express an alter and pack it into a packet of separate consciousness for the protection of the afflicted individual. In fact alters can have gender dysphoria, but that alter isn’t delusional because in the head space they are the gender they feel they are, but they understand especially if they aren’t the host that the body is not theirs, and will often refrain from altering it against the other alters wishes. There is no irrational or false belief as that consciousness is a different part of the brain and is also affected differently by physiology. Some alters can need prescription glasses and diagnosed conditions that are scientifically observable while others may not have those issues or conditions. Your insinuating that an old man will identify as a different personality to be accepted as a predator. That’s not rational because child molesters don’t need an excuse or have to appeal to others, nor do any mental conditions like pedophilia bar you from the legality. You can’t even use mental health as an excuse in many legal or social cases for many things.
Those with this mental health disorder scare me the most 😢 im terrified of them!
I find this hard to believe.
That’s because you are an intelligent person like myself😊
Someone I knew had a client that had this. He never knew if the actual white woman was coming in or the Hispanic personality. He would find out based on how they were dressed & how they spoke.
If this personas doesnt hurt anyone out of this situation then i dont care do you boo .. but those 400 personalities love food😂 im fat but its because i eat for 400 people .. the lady with her mom she seems more legit you can see somthing is wrong .. the other 3 seems scaly
My 14 year old precious baby girl has this from childhood trauma and she has never done anything really wrong ..At worse she argued with her sister..She is very moral and involved in church...She is in therapy and this is very real...I know my daughter could never pull off what I've seen...It's real
Has she had bran scans, assessments and neurological work done to rule out all other aspects?
I am unsure whether some of the people featured here confuse between imagination/make believe to actual DID. If anything, Jade seems to be the only person believable to actually have DID.
This video is not a good example of what it is. Shame on this video.
@evamarie2247 I get it. I've kind of delved into the world of DID just trying to learn how it is. That's why I said Jade's case was more believable than most of the people in this video. The others just seem to want to play as if they're different people and how the hell are you doing groceries while actively saying "oh but this person wants this right now and that person" same scenario in the ice cream shop. Nah, Jade's was definitely closer to a DID case.
Totally agree..I think Jade is a genuine case. No comment on the others. Have you watched "The woman with 7 personalities" about a lady called Helen? Very believable.
@rachelpage1971 gonna watch that, thanks for letting me know!
@rachelpage1971 is that the hella crazy lady? Ya I believed that lady if it's the same one
I am also in the process of being "formally diagnosed"
We felt bad for Jade, who's morher said to her: "If one of your alters pops out, that's just you." So the morher is verbally rejecting the alters. We had friends who said ; " We only want to be friends with_____, not any alters". Ugh ! Including the molestor parents...who caused this to happen to us! They were afraid of the Alters because of Hollywood's depiction of our condition. Its incredible how much misinformation abounds! Even Doctors are being taught that this isn't real.
The couple just interested in being on media 😂 they bad at faking shit read right thru like 4,000 and 200 haha jade n Stacy seem more real
400 personalities though, come on.
The amount of alters is in correlation with the amount of times they, as a child, dealt with a moment of trauma. With chronic abuse, 400 is possible.
Not believable
@@BevChoy very creative... good job...
@@Mauro-ot2uxyeah it actually IS believable. It's even more believable than all the people who pretend to have DID on UA-cam and conveniently have only a handful to two handful of "alters"
You all are amazing women! Nothing but respect for you💪🏻 and Jade, I think you really should love yourself more. I hope you find the strength to be whoever wants to come forward and let people deal with it. I think you are awesome.
Omg the dog @1:08 is trying to hypnotize the cameraman. 😂
It's funny how people say they're faking based on literally one video about them
Doesn’t everyone have trouble choosing a flavor of ice cream? How do you know it’s other personalities and not just regular indecision? I don’t have DID but when I go into an ice cream shop I hear voices in my head saying how about this flavor or that one? I change my mind constantly until it’s time to order and I’m pretty sure it’s the same for others. It just seems like they are having lots of fun making up different characters and assigning them names and preferences, it doesn’t seem like a serious problem. I would love to see a follow up in about 30 years. I have a feeling that when they are in their 50’s they will have matured out of it. It’s ridiculous to even attempt keep track of 400 people that you can see! How are you going to track of 400 invisible people?
It’s amazing how ignorant you will realize this comment is, if you simply go do some googling and see for yourself that it is, in fact, real. They don’t need your permission to have their own mental illness, and you don’t need to understand or accept it for them to be real and valid.
Love the way you think. This whole thing was such a joke, exactly the mfs with the colored hair like isn't that telling you it's all for the look at me look at us being extra as hell. . .
DID is caused by severe early childhood trauma. It's basically the brain's way of coping with repeated sexu@l @buse, or physical etc. The developing child's brain tries to protect itself from the situation by creating another person to experience the @buse instead of them, which is why they all have different memories and different roles, like ones who protect and come out when the host becomes anxious, etc. The brain then develops like this, further cementing all the alters as seperate functioning personalities within the brain. This documentary didnt really go into how DID develops which is a shame, because its much more complex than being indecisive about ice cream flavors.
Not so believable, eh?
How come they all have dyed hair lol? I knew a woman with DID but she wasn't like this at all haha
This is something serious and usually from severe trauma. Nowadays, there are people who are saying they have it for attention. Too many narcissist’s attention seeking adult children out here… I believe I see some on here… 🙄
So who’s money are they spending when they shop. Which one of these “alters” has a job?
😂😂😂😂
Hahaha you made my day thanks !
@@delairdelair5526 🤗
the body has a job. so they all collectively have one. hope this helps.
I think Jade is the best representation of DID
I would love to get in contact of the documentary so I can film my story
But this is not what real DID is. This person is a liar and a faker.
I just took my little self to the zoo today and got her some snacks too. Some people have kids, I have one inside of me.
But do we not all have a kid inside of us?
@@maschadarlinger1753yes we do. This disorder is EXTREMELY rare, but suddenly over the past several years, hundreds of thousands of people have popped up on social media to introduce their "alters" and "systems"...and the cute little name they call their system. In my opinion, this is just the newest trend.b
@@maschadarlinger1753everyone has an inner child but it's different with systems
No you don’t.
@@laerrus Exactly. We all have an inner child, but people with DID have one or more distinct people who are small in their make up. I mean, my daughter sometimes presents as a four year old. I promise you, it is not acting, it is something she cannot control and she can rarely remember what happened.
really really difficult to believe them. there has been so many people faking mental illness i find them hard to believe.
It's real.
I wish I could make it dissappear.
@@theecosmetaverse Can you describe what it is like to have it? I suffer from dissociation and I don't know if I have it or not.
@@JesusLightsYourPath To give a brief Y T comment section answer. The diagnostic criteria for DID is that you must have two or more distinct personalities and that there is the experience of amnesia. There are now, many variations to this diagnosis which come under OSDD (other specified dissociative disorders), which include things like derealisation and depersonalisation. It is something that needs to be assessed by a professional.
The comments of this video are a dumpster fire--this sort of dismissive, judgemental, stigma bullsh*t keeps people from opening up and getting support. Before you tell someone that "they just watch too much TikTok" or that they're "faking it for attention," spend time in person and get to know them. You'll find that presentation of disabilities/mental illnesses varies from person to person and that it's much harder to be cruel to someone to their face than online.
Perfectly put. I also cannot believe the amount of hate here for these lovely people. Ppl just dont get it, the disorder, nothing. It's sad really how ppl can be so ignorant.
Saw the pink hair and noped right on out....
Maladaptive daydreaming + autism or adhd - self awareness = whatever this is
I have maladaptive day dreaming and BPD. When I'm really stressed I can feel like a different person but it doesn't last long...
This is BS
I hate ice cream and I’d love to work. Yea ok
Wow what an amazing and informative video. ❤
I would need to have this condition for it to be believable. I’m convinced it’s just heavy disassociation and also need for excuses to do whatever, more or less consciously. Not believable in the least bit
It’s scientifically & medically proven in the DSM just had a name change
@@nikkimclay5474 actually, no it isn’t. Plenty of psychologists and psychiatrists don’t believe this is a real disorder. Also, just because something is in the DSM, doesn’t mean it’s “scientifically and medically proven to exist”. That’s not how psychiatry works most of the time. The reason the DSM is constantly being revised is because we have a better understanding of these things over time. Nothing is definite. By the time there a DSM 8, DID night not even be in it. Get a copy of early versions, like a DSM 2 or 3. The kinds of disorders you see in there will shock you. Things change.
@@dewilew2137 That's how learning works in general. But we can't discount what is current because it Might not be accurate, we can only do research, due diligence, etc. Leaches used to be used for most conditions in many parts of the world. They're not useless, and are even a model for how some things are done today. We learned bloodletting doesn't solve as much as we though, and don't do it to the extent we did at one point, but there are similar things still done.
Saying that because it's in DSM 8 or what have you that it isn't real is like saying rainbows aren't real, because we discovered that magenta doesn't have its own wavelength.
Yes, we're still learning, but don't discount something learned because it is published in something that has revisions.
I mean, the term DID and the term OSDD both include the word "dissociative" in their initialism, so... yes, heavy dissociation seems right.
Aren't all diagnoses "just an excuse" to say that someone can't do something? That's like saying diabetes is just an excuse to not eat sugar.
@@dewilew2137do you have difficulties to process what you've read? Yes,it actually IS. like the previous person already told you. It's written in the DSM-5 . But it's obvious that you've got no clue what that means 😂 so even though it's true that there are a few professionals who don't know or believe it, just because they can't grasp it like you, doesn't change the fact that it's written in the DSM .
Nobody has a ‚sporty‘ personality…interesting😂
Instead, all of them like to eat, apparently 😎
I've always been curious about this though. The repercussions of a foodie personality and an anorexic personality would surely cause constant shutdowns or battles 😲
You don’t have a ‘kind’ personality in you, interesting. And rude. You’re probablya giant potatoyourself.
I'll be glad if I have that 😅
You beat me to it hahaha
Not one personality likes to work out huh... XD
How much trauma must a tiny brain suffer to splinter to save the core. 😢
We all do behaviours that make us feel safer, less alone, less anxious, less sad etc etc etc. Less any of the negative emotions. That behaviour could be anything, literaly anything. This is just one of the hundeds of thousands of expressions of that behaviour. Some behaviours have a diagnosis such as ocd, DID, stimming, food addiction, drug addiction the list goes on. Gym addiction.... some behaviours we do that we perceive as an escape or keeping us safe are stignatised, some are just as harmful but are glamourised.....
3:58 is straight-up demonstrating that neither of these people have DID. They know what they are supposed to be doing (buying groceries) but 'it's just not' is completely disavowing responsibility for doing so. There's no 'disassociation' in being fully aware of your urge to buy a sweet treat and then just giving into it because 'my inner child wants it'.
Real people with DID don't act like it's a cute thing of 'teehee i bought too many gummy bears', they are terrified that they could wake up from a bout of amnesia and find their bank account completely drained because they went on a spending spree while they were not in control of their own actions. So, great journalism, OMG, you have found exactly the issue people are complaining about when they say that DID fakers are a huge problem nowadays.
Yeah they’re clearly just live action role playing. Guarantee they don’t act like this when they’re apart.
Why can't anybody feel special these days without being "special"??
Almost everyone thrives in attention. They have to come up with the extreme illnesses or disorders so that they can gain sympathy, empathy, and attention from others. I studied DID for many years. I have Interviewed countless people who claim to have it but never found even 1 that I thought was being 100% honest. There was always something about each person that made me feel they were acting. I could have been wrong sure, but I’ve to this day found anyone I truly believe has this disorder.
Everyone is special
That one couple obviously have something wrong mentally but its definitely not DID 😐 before you go on tv make sure your acting is a little better
So many alters called Zack in that video. Interesting .....
How and who identified the 400 different alters???
DID isn't real. However, *if* it was, we run into a major problem here within 30 seconds of this lady talking~ the host is largely unaware of the alters' behaviors i.e. the patient often presents with memory impairments that are causing clinically significant levels of distress/disorder/dysfunction. The number one goal of therapy is to 'merge the fractured self into one functional system.' A lot of what you see nowadays is people dedicating worrying amounts of time/effort into separating these 'personalities/alters' from one another by means of very unique traits only applying to alter A or alter B. Cause that's what makes the story more interesting as well as separating one 'system' from another; you have 3 alters? Well then, I have 5. And so on. It's honestly hard to watch.
I saw a special on a woman with this but she didn’t really know what was happening at the time. She had lost time that she couldn’t recall.
It would have been interesting to know the reason why all of these people live in one person's mind
The reason is well known actually. You should Google it and read about it. Don't trust UA-camrs who claim to have DID and make money of off it while playing dress up online
trauma
This comment section is just 🤦🏾♀️
Especially the religious comments I urge you to read a book or study up on the literature a bit, please, I don’t mean to hate, but I don’t think you all understand the gravity of your language
I hope you'll consider being less hateful.
For real. I don't have DID, but I do have Tourette Syndrome--people on and off line have occasionally accused me of being "possessed by demons" and said that accepting Jesus will cure me. Guess what, I'm a life long Christian...and *still* disabled. People don't realize that the consequence of praying for a cure and then never getting it is feeling like God abandoned you or that you are inherently bad in some way. It doesn't make people stronger in their faith. It only makes them despair and fall away.
It’s very interesting that some have 16 alters and some have 400? Why? How? I wanna study this!
So I do beleive that DID is a real thing, but THIS? no... just NO. This is not how it works. this is NOT how it works. THIS is just to get attention and views. SICK!
6:16 I don’t believe these two. I don’t believe a lot of them. They don’t know how DID works. pitiful
It’s very interesting to me that they claim to have certain traits of DID but that they fluctuate. Sometimes their alters just hang out and talk inside of their head, sometimes they have amnesia when one fronts, sometimes they do it willingly with no dissociation whatsoever. Really inconsistent.
ok but like....
the disorder within itself is hella inconsistent @thomasibach234
Please just buy the chocolate bar.
That couple is so cringe
But do the individual personalities speak for each other like that? I thought they switched back and forth as if the others don’t exist.
It's hard for me to believe in what their doing, I think they want attention, 400 personalities 🤔
I unfortunately have this and it's really difficult to keep a job when your alcoholic personality comes out. I feel like all these people can be found on deviant art and fanfiction. BTW, I probably do have DID I just try my best to adapt and make it all flow so no one notices and points at me.
Sorry but you should not writ ethat you have DID without a real diagnosis. You can not diagnose yourself with DiD. Actually even for professionals it's hard to diagnose someone. You most likely have something different or nothing at all .
Strange they're lesbian as well. Why? What a strange coincidence. Is there any prevalence is that community?
My Gf has DID and also does hypnotherapy with other people diagnosed might be something to look into for Jade just fyi.
Sounds really interesting. My daughter has been diagnosed wth DID and i had wondered if hypnotherapy could help. i would be interested to hear more about this
With jade, she is describing social anxiety & adhd. Which in stressful situations can cause me to zone out. But most of us can see where reality meets fantasy for these individuals & it's clear THEY have created them to cope. They do NOT actually exist. It's a form of coping.. like a imaginary friend or ALTER EGOS (HENCE ALTERS)...We all have alter egos lol. they just give them names and personalitys or completely copy them from literature.When they "act" as someone else, which is really just them (speaking from experience we all have shy sides, angry side, submissive sides etc) we all have multiple personalities lol In front of some people im shy. in front of pretty girls i might act more masculine subconsciously. If you are on the spectrum you might give all these "personalities" names, back grounds etc.. but it's not real lol.. The people are just creating identities out of commons things that we all experience. Dramaticizing them. Just my personal feeling.
I’m a bit confused….So….Can the main person choose to let an alter out at any time, or not-?? I thought that wasn’t something controllable by the main person? Hence, why the married couple said working wasn’t an option, due to alters coming out and not knowing what’s going on or what to do, esp in a job setting. ?? But, it seemed like the girl was choosing not to let her alters meet her Mom, even tho she said the alters wanted to come out and meet her Mom then. I’m sure it’s different for each patient with DID. Just made me curious abt these particular people. ??? 🤔 🤷🏼♀️
this is cringey to watch.
I was always under the assumption that they didn't know about the others
Sometimes I wonder if I have this or if I just have a crazy amount of suppressed memories since I'm 23 yet barely remember most of my life and it sucks because I have the short term memory loss from adhd and then the fact I can't remember my childhood. I fear I'll one day develop dementia or something with how bad my memory already is at this age from trauma and adhd
What the heck I have a lot of parallels with one of these systems
Sorry the ones with colored hair I’m not buying it. They just happened to have both “kids” come out on the spot.
You can thank you counselor for splitting you up more
Its also confusing that the multiple personalities have different visual descriptions, like the short girl saying she was a tall male with dark hair and blue eyes etc, that makes not much sense unless they are having visual hallucinations while looking in the mirror?
They don't have visual hallucinations. Their descriptions aren't descriptions of the physical appearance in the physical world. The alters of people with DID live in an inner world that is very real to them and their looks are part of their individual identities, just not physical. It is how they imagine their body would look like if they had one of their own.
@@lysancasilvestris4449 i dont understand how something like eye colour that a person doesnt actually have can be part of ones identity. The more i think about it the less i believe it. Thats called imagination and is something nearly everyone has.
@@Ruby-xk8knIt’s like think of a cow girl person to you want to cast for your story you have a vague look of what she looks like. Meaning it’s a representation of something for example most of us are males even though this is a female body and it’s probably because me Alice growing up always wanted a older brother to protect me and care for me. If you have any question I can answer them.
@@Ruby-xk8knI’m curious about that as well because they know the personalities aren’t really a different person right? And yet they have a look. It’s very interesting. 🤔
@lysancasilvestris4449 The physical description of the alters is total imagination and has no bearing in reality. The people that abused these sufferers should be punished and the sufferers should not be indulged in their delusions, which just make them stronger. There is healing for them, if they want it.
When I see myself in the mirror ,I don't see my reflection,
So when she can't cook because her alter they are both trying to get their other personality to front, like how is that possible they can just pull them out when they want. Crazy these people are just faking
i mean bruh right?! they claim one was 18 and the other was 13 acting like they cant make a bowl of ceareal or something. wtf or eat one of the apples behind them. they just going to sit there and starve lol like ok effin ay lol
that’s so fascinating!
I think it's interesting that so many of the self righteous and ego driven have watched this just to judge the people going through it. It's fascinating! Even though you have absolutely no idea what's happening in their brains, lol you've decided that they have to be faking it. Just because your mind can't process it and you can't fathom it, that doesn't make it fake 😂😂😂. When your life is free from trauma, then you're allowed to judge theirs. 😒
how are they asking were the alter is from and thier not from that place at all so its all made up Iies
