I recently discovered that I switch when in an overstimulating environment into a little. It gives me (the host) a sense of comfort and allows as an escape to my problems in past experiences when in loud and crowded environments. It can be a handful to take care of, but I appreciate it.
Sorry but DID is not caused by trauma in adulthood. By adulthood DID is already presenting symptoms and the identities are distinct. DID symptoms can present as early as four years old, for me it was six years old. I'm not a mental health professional but this is what my psychologist says in my official diagnostic letter: "The origin of these symptoms is most commonly found in trauma and/or abuse experienced in childhood. These identities function to help the individual cope with difficult events by separating out aspects of the self to deal with differing situations" I have never heard a mental health professional say DID can be caused by trauma in adulthood. For me the abuse started before I was even a year old. Basically DID means a child was brutalized so severely (usually before the age of two) that in order to protect that child the brain literally fragments to protect that child. That is why by adulthood those with DID have all or most of their childhood and life missing from their memory. When the core person and the alters heal and integrate those memories the alters hold bleed into the core person's memory.
That is a great question. We do have more information on DID, how it develops, and even treatment information here: www.sandstonecare.com/young-adults/mental-health/dissociative-identity-disorder-treatment/ We hope you find this resource helpful.
Glad you're bringing compassionate awareness and education, but the education seems a little flawed. Would appreciate more attention to accuracy please 🙏 "Dissociation" not "disassociation." Haven't see any evidence that it can form due to adult trauma (would love if you could provide evidence to back up your claim) - but you can continue splitting in adulthood as we are doing lately (if you meant this then you seemed to misrepresent it). The rest isn't technically wrong but it also doesn't necessarily feel totally authentic (though everyone experiences it differently).
We will continue to improve working on sharing more links and resources in future videos to reference. For this particular video, this blog provided a lot of the foundation for the information. Thank you for your honest thoughts and feedback. Blog: www.sandstonecare.com/young-adults/mental-health/dissociative-identity-disorder-treatment/
@@ekvillain69 Its a system, meaning the personality switches in your head are caused by memories of personalities or unforgettable thoughts that grow into an alter. Alters are personalities that are basically personified personas, that make you switch your personality. Alters can have names to be able to identify which you have switched to, and I reccomend searching up some more about DID. This is coming from someone with reflexed DID of childhood abuse trauma, and how it feels to me. An extra - it symbolises your persona that you switch to!(Alters). If you had an alter that was related to albinism you could call them Pale. One of mine are Venus relating to her favourite planet that she's interested into, but it doesn't reflect her personality, however my alter Grey reflects from dull and thoughtless personality (Aloof) and that's how he got his name. Some names are earned by vibe and aura, others are symbolic, others are personality related.
PTSD and DID here. I have struggled with this since I became free at 11. God bless you all ❤
I have DID and that was the best short and simple response ❤ thank you!

DID occurs before age 8 or 9 years. It's a developmental post-traumatic disorder. It continues into adulthood but develops in childhood.
Adults cant get DID, but they do create new alters during stress because they already had DID. Its formed during childhood.
Excellently explained, thank you for sharing
Great feedback to hear! Glad you found this helpful.
What causes some people to develop it as children during trauma, and some don't?

We switched eleven times while watching that. Gotta say it is kinda accurate though
Your awesome
Thank you David😄

Does each personality have different names
@@ekvillain69 it depends on the system. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Each experience is unique.
@@SandstoneCare thank you
Imma see a psychologist given my childhood experience with abuse and my moms death and the fact I experienced it at 11 and the other stuff earlier.
How do I know if I have D.I.D. or just another dissociative disorder?
depends on your symptoms
Mental disorders are all on a multi dimensional spectrum. So what one person experiences can be very different from what someone else has.
Dissociiiiiiative :OD
I Wish I Could Tell....

First of all, it’s not disassociative … it’s dissociative. There is a difference.
Look at the word it is not disassociation there is no such word the word is dissociation. You'd be more credible if you pronounced it correctly
Noted!
I was so confused whenever I heard him say that word 😂
you are wrong. DID happens at the age of 3 or less and this is how the brain handles trauma. the brain is not developed enough at 3 to handle it
