    The answer to the mysterious question of why Hollow speaks in the 3rd person. It’s trauma. Very much Trigger Warning for this bad boy, because it’s about our trauma holders. We don’t mention specific traumas, but we talk real details about our DID.

    Hearing "you're legit no matter what your system looks like" really made me feel better. We used, and still use fiction and media to escape reality and as a result of that, we have a lot of introjects, they make up over half of our system. But since there are so many introjects, we often feel less valid as a system. So thank you so much for this, it really helped us keep our head up. Much love to your system

    Don't share your trauma if you don't want to. If people are curious about the kind of trauma that causes D.I.D. there's plenty of books out there for them to read to understand it better. It's a very specific kind of trauma that occurs repeatedly, throughout childhood that causes this; and honestly, if people are here to hear your trauma then they're here for the wrong reason.

      I totally agree it took me nearly 20 years to come to terms with my trauma. Tell my family, get help, seek comfort and build a support system. I don’t know what would happen if It came back to me before I was ready. And having hundreds of people wanting to tell about it) so I really respect this channel for being so strong to help educate others. I Do not have DID but I do have many ways to cope with my traumas that some people don’t understand (mainly regression and Sometimes I need to seek seclusion Even from my husband and kids.. which makes me feel selfish sometimes ) and being on this channel makes me feel a little more understood.

    I know it must be difficult to explain but I some how understand. I have BPD and have some imaginary friends that show up during rough times. They don’t front the way they do for DID, they just come and hang out until I calm down. But listening to DID speakers helps me understand how these “friends” came about. Also why, DID is not JUST having imaginary friends. I hope that stigma goes away, because even when you do have “just have imaginary friends”, they might be trauma based.

    • @WolfgangDoW
      @WolfgangDoW 3 роки тому +12

      If an "imaginary friend" has free will (act on their own) and a sense of self then they're a real person. We know several systems who thought they just had imaginary friends, but turns out they were headmates and real people
      You don't need to switch to be a system, and there's even a diagnosis in the ICD (international DSM) called partial DID, when the system rarely/never switches, and mostly uses blending/influence. So it must be prevalent enough to count for it's own diagnosis

    I’ve been asking my friends for a couple weeks now if they can unfocus they’re eyes, as I only realized this year that that’s what happens when I zone out. I can’t express how shocked I was hearing you describe the same process I went through to adapt this... I hope you guys know how much you validate me and so many others that watch your videos. Can’t wait for the upcoming vids, as always, on your guys’ terms. ❤️

      Is this is anyway related to like slightly crossing your eyes? Like not full cross eyed but like you’re starting to? If you do it really quickly, it’s like a camera lense refocusing.
      Or like if you have something near your face (like being on your phone) and you can’t focus and there are like two different offset versions which you can see through?

    Hello, Moca system here.
    No, it's not moca like the coffee, it's a foreign word with a much deeper meaning.
    I need you guys' help. I'm the host of my system of 18. We're an osdd1b system by the way in case it'll make a difference. Here's the problem. I've done something pretty stupid and self harming today, nothing major but I kept going on refusing to listen to my protector or my gatekeeper. You know how it is, sometimes you just want to do your thing without 15 people imposing, commenting and sharing their opinion. Anyway, I ended up feeling quite guilty for doing what I've done (shocking I know), and my gatekeeper lashed out at me quite badly. I've never seen him like that, he was livid, but fair enough, he had a reason to. I kept saying I was sorry and I wouldn't do it again, but he continued to yell at me angrily. I could feel my right hand ( I'm a lefty by the way, but he seems to be in control of the right side of my body when he fronts) twitching and moving up and I tried to control it, but at some point he literally slapped me! Like physically smacked me, full force. I had the print of my hand on my face, that's how strongly he hit me. Both my protectors became really alert and told him he went to far, but didn't actually defend me, thinking it was deserved. My co-host, the alter I'm closest with, got really mad, but both my main protector and my gatekeeper told her to stay out of it and eventually send her away in her room (in my inner world).
    I was absolutely shocked and felt very vulnerable. As an additional punishment my gatekeeper told me that he wouldn't have allowed anybody else to front throughout the evening, when I was supposed to go to work, even if I needed it. He said "since you can't be bothered to listen to me when I try to protect you I want you to see what it feels like being without your system backing you up" . He kept his word and even when I would dissociate he wouldn't allow anybody out. Feeling so alone and exposed it's actually awful, and I'm really scared he will keep the gate closed.. I don't know, he's definitely a protective alter, but he's got this harshness about him. Sometimes it's necessary, especially with the kids, but he never got physical before. My protectors don't seem to be too worried, they're not enjoying it but they're not interfering.. I don't know, is this normal or should I be worried about it? Did anything similar ever happen to you guys?
    Thank you for the video, hollow is a cutie and now that we know more about his personality and his origins it makes him even more special.
    Lots of love to all the system

      Your gk is likely expressing how you would like to punish yourself/ the anger you have towards yourself about self harming. Forgiving yourself is a very important part of moving forward and continuing to work on self harming. You can tell your gt the as much. Together you guys need to work on forgiving yourself(s) and each other for what happened. Punishing you and beating yourself up is only furthering the problem. If gt needs a way to get out anger there's tons of stuff online about how to do that, but my personal favorite is venting. Best of luck to y'all in your recovery.

      Ok why do you have to be straight away so kind and wise and figure out things that we didn't know and opening new paths towards our healing. Who said you were allowed. Who gave you permission.
      Lame jokes aside, I do think you have a point.. even though it wasn't physical self harm, I should have mentioned it, we've been working on that for a long time, it was something that I knew it would heavily trigger me, since it's dangerously related to our trauma. I don't even know why I did it, I suppose I was trying to test the boundaries and see how far could I get before I'd get hurt. It clearly backfired. But that's just me literally every second of my life.

We probably have ASD too but diagnosing ASD in females is like, impossible apparently, so that's something we should work on exploring...?

    Adding the mental and physical mapping that is different when born with autism, it does make sense for a system to be much bigger and closed off. Many kids I've worked with who have autism and other disorders/conditions have incredible abilities to compartmentalize and separate tasks, feelings, or personal opinions in their brain. On top of that the struggle to match their expression to the typical world only further isolates you and can push you further into a comfort imaginative world that does understand you. It'd be so interesting to hear more about how this has helped or hindered you in your life when it is safe and healthy to talk about.

We also have an alter that speaks pretending to be one of our higher protectors. But we have a hunch it’s not him but someone keeping their identity hidden from us for protection of our psyche. Omg this makes so much sense so Thankyou for sharing! We thought maybe our imagination was going too far so hearing this is a relief ☺️🙏 thankyou!!!

    This absolutely makes sense (and I mean wow brains are weird right?) And thank you for having the courage to open up about this. All of it.
    And I totally get the humour thing, nobody takes me seriously even when I'm trying to get help so 👌
    Also the eye thing!! I have maladaptive daydreaming disorder, not DID, but my characters are metaphors/talismans for stuff I don't understand and trauma etc. The one who represents most of the worst stuff has always had vision problems. He had prostetic eyes at first that would cut out whenever he had a trauma episode. I didn't really know why that was a thing, but now it makes sense. It's symbolic of me not having any memories of my trauma, and the fact that I only felt safe enough to express those feelings at night.
    Hey, thanks for that! ☺️

    Years ago I realized that we spend the first chunk of our lives adapting to challenges for which we are unready, and the latter half overcoming the obstacles created by our maladaptive coping mechanisms.
    I feel that for some fortunate unfortunate folks, it can be a fairly straight forward process in which they simply apply cbt or dbt to adjust their thinking and behaviors and then they’re good (of course I don’t mean to diminish anybody’s experience as it could still take years and what can seem like mountain ranges of effort, but it’s still a linear equation).
    I feel that with disorders of the dissociative variety it can be more like the horror movie Cube, where you can try to work with one alter, but if you’re not in the (what can be really tiny) goldilocks zone for having enough challenge for progress but not too much that it’s overwhelming, the cubes in your system realign and you’re presented with a different alter.
    Then you factor in the nesting dolls of alter variations.
    On the very minimal plus side, there is the opportunity to have more balanced values compared to singlets. I say this because in my experience folks who are polytheistic can be on average more tolerant and respectful of different opinions and viewpoints than those who are monotheistic and I attribute this to having to consider the different perspectives of multiple deities within one’s inner dialogue, compared to monotheism where there is ‘one word.’ Having multiple deities buffers the damage inflicted if one your interpretations happens to be quite flawed; having ‘one word,’ and having a flawed interpretation/parochial guidance means you can be quite obstinate/intolerant when it comes to interacting with others who do not share your beliefs.

    Please thank Hollow and Nøbødy for letting you share some more of their lives with us. They are very important and very loved. If Nøbødy wants to do a video, how about one sharing some interests of his with us? or trying something new that he's interested in but hasn't gotten to experience.
    I think the way your brain has organized things is very interesting, and also makes a lot of sense. it's trying to give you little glimmers of what's inside, without overwhelming you all. i hope the hidden alters are in safe places inside and are able to start their healing journey.
    I just wanted to say to all of you that none of you owes anyone any explanation about your trauma, and especially not the internet. it took me a while after my trauma to teach myself that i could just ask for support when i needed it without having to explain why i was upset. i trained myself to say "bad memories" or it's the "date of bad memories" and then just say i didn't want to talk about it if they asked about it. you don't have to feel bad about saying that.

    hey, I know you might not see this but to anyone reading the comments rn, plz answer this if you can. okay so basically my bf on 9 months (ish) claims he has DID. i totally support him and try to learn and understand him more and more each day. he only has maybe about 5 alters, w one of them being the main head of his system. recently, he has just switched into a “new” personality or alter. i don’t know how to go about this bc I am still new to it all. i also have it in the back of my mind that just mayyyybe he’s lying abt this new alter to see how I’d react. i love him so much and i just need some advice from someone who knows their shit. i don’t want to hurt him, but i just need to know how i can help him rn, and maybe some things to see if he’s being genuine. ❤️❤️ thank you sm

      It just sounds like he’s got a new addition to his team! With it being 2020, people are getting new alters left and right, so it’s totally not far-fetched that this is just a new alter :) just remind him that you’re there for him, ask him what you can do to help him (since each system is different), and listen if he needs to talk- having someone there for you can make all the difference :)

    Sending positive vibes. Watching these vids helps me understand more about my DID diagnosis. The body is 23. But we don't have good communication with each other. Or an inner world yet or if we do the body isn't aware of it yet. And I just have been scared for a long time that if I try to communicate with them idk Everytime I do the body always starts to get super anxious and I don't even know why. So blahh

    Something you should know as an autistic RA/MC survivor is that your autism likely saved you. Autism has all but been confirmed as a mind control dud. something about the way our brains work allowed us to break free and realize what was going on in a way that most NT's never do. Your unbelievably strong and brave for sharing this, thank you. ❤

  • @xsystem9342
    @xsystem9342 3 роки тому +1

    Honestly... I feel like asking why he speaks in the third person is kind of rude. :( I don't appreciate intrusive questions like that about me or my alters, especially if they don't know us personally. You didn't have to share this information, but thank you for sharing.
    Also, I respect the fact that Nøbødy requests his name to be spelled like that. We have an alter who has a similar request with his name having an accent over the a (Ciarán). He gets very upset when we spell it without the accent. We also have a few alters with names that kind of "make sense now that we know" sort of thing as well... Like Mercy, No, Cuddles and Chance. Sorry I'm typing as I watch and commentating. LOL We also have quite a few mirrored alters! I was wondering if that was a thing that happened often with other systems. Like... when Lance integrated a few times, I guess the system wasn't ready for Lance to be gone... so it created a new one? We don't know. We have quite a few twins in our system. Etc. What's weird is that we just discovered a new realm. More like our realm merged with another. And it seems like many of the alters here are linked to alters from our old realm. I don't know if that makes sense? Sorry about the ramble!

    @KariSuttle 3 роки тому

    I didn't realize that bit about unfocusing the eyes as a coping mechanism was a thing! I thought i was just weird lol. I disassociate often enough. At least that's what i think its called? Like you're partially not there; emotionally numb, dulled/dreamlike experience of everything around, rarely to the point of feeling tingly like i myself would go numb too. I've always had trouble feeling valid though cause i never physically went through anything.
    (TRIGGER WARNING for this paragraph! Threats of violence/murder proceeds! and abuse) I was just second-hand threatened when a certain someone got out of jail and for the next oh 10 years aka the entirety of my pre-teen and teen years was afraid they'd find where my family had moved to and kill us all in our sleep....it was awful. During all of it, my mom was emotionally/mentally and verbally abusive and prone to gaslighting so that didn't help either.

  • @deadpie01
    @deadpie01 3 роки тому +2

    I must say this kind of “realer” video is really helpful. As a singlet who has never really been around anyone who isn’t neurotypical it’s easy to not see the reality in things. Videos like this make me realize that even if I don’t think having DID is a happy go lucky time... that is still kind of what I think compared to the real deal. Also as someone who has just gotten out of a period of self diagnosing waaaaayyyyyyy too easily I know that videos like this help when one is trying to tell the brain to shut up.
    Best of luck with your deciphering and I hope you find healthier coping mechanisms if you need them. I hope you all know you’re loved and appreciated, keep up the good work, see you in the next video.
