- The first misconception is in the title! Multiple Personality Disorder was renamed Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) all the way back in 1994! How many of you who clicked on this video still knew it as "Multiple Personalities"...? Let us know!

"It doesn't matter what voice we use for Mango, 'cause Mango doesn't listen to anybody, ever"
That cracked me up x)
"Alters must be vastly different". Like... not even people with seperate bodies are ALL drastically different.
Also regarding the stigma, I still remember the day my friend told me they had DID. I regret how I reacted because I only knew what media had shown me and I remember being 'scared'. I ended up apologizing years later after watching your videos and learning more about it. Thankfully he said my reaction was much better than most people so he wasn't even upset with me, but it sucked to hear that his experience with people he trusted was often WORSE than that.
I mean, my grandmother and her four daughters are VERY alike, their voices, the way that they move... People say I also act like my mom, and my cousin's voice is so similar to her mom's voice that sometimes she'll pick up her mom's phone when I call her and I'll think it's my aunt for some seconds lol.
Distinctness is a lot less of a requirement than people think. Not to mention that certain types of systems will lack distinctness. Particularly polyfragmented and OSDD systems.
Most of the time they *are* drastically different and the people complaining are clearly *not paying any attention* to their personalities.
They are the type of people to never pay attention to their boyfriends/girlfriends then complain that they cannot understand why they are doing what they are doing. 🙄
This is so true. My mum, aunt, and I all act and sound similar. My brother also apparently sounds like the male version of me (it's to the point that our parents struggle to tell who is speaking when on the phone or when talking across different parts of the house.
I’m sorry having hair THAT COOL must be illegal 😭
RIGHT?!?
I lived undiagnosed until 40. I mostly felt like an idiot and thought had bad memory. I'm a fawner. Also I thought I had a dobbleganger stalker following me to different cities.
I'm a mom. I've raised 3 children. I've got a bachelor's in Zoology. I just did my best to function. I have worked and volunteered.
Now I've identified 4 alters. My old friends and family after I got diagnosed said it made so much sense suddenly, me that is. That shocked me. I still get these blanks, where an alter takes over... only Svallin remembers it all. I don't feel like those alters aren't me, but pieces of me. My parents were both abusive. I can't feel a switch coming... triggers are random. I adore you.
Good job ❤ But how you study, if you switch at random and have amnesia? Exactly this was my reaction fór doctors and judges with diagnosed DID... I really am interested in your reply :) @ladydainwinters8564
@@anastaziehall-selwyn4936well one as an "individual" can remember what one reads or does. The amnesia she's referring to might be someone telling here she did X or not remembering where or when she placed X object. It's not like you can't function at all, mostly, you're just unaware of "the otthers"
Yeah switches are really difficult to tell especially upon first discovery!!!
Id like to hear from people with high stress/demanding jobs like lawyers or possibly doctors. How do they manage a switch in the middle of their job? Not that they are obligated to share that information, but id be interested to know. It seems so stressful in a job where a small error could lead to something bigger.
@@jordynniccole7434 a lot of systems are made for the environment that they're in, there's plenty of systems where DID is covert and has less amnesia barriers between those in front usually. And considering retaining front information, depends on whether or not the system in question experiences Generalized Amnesia or not. Not to mention that if you're in a high stress environment, specific alters will be fronting during that time.
DissociaDID has even said in the past that they didn't used to have severe amnesia until finding out that they did have DID.
So it's likely these systems aren't going through trauma processing while in a high stress environment.
"No, you donkey!"
Mike is the new Gordon Ramsay, confirmed.
THE RETURN OF THE RAINBOW HAIR!!!
I missed the rainbow hair from Chloe's days
I love the hair 💚💙💜🩷❤️🤍 Also great Video. You'all are awesome!
full circle :')
The black at the back when Soren took off the hat added so much depth it’s crazy
Honestly the length and color is sending me back.❤
🥺🥺🥺❤️
Being called "donkey" is probably the new iconic DissociaDID lore
I felt a bit weird headspace wise thinking about my body related dysphoria - then I heard that and it made me laugh
@@ViktorErikFade I'm glad it did 🤍
I dunno. I feel like Gordon Ramsay started that. 🤣❤️
Mike cracks me up. Him basically being like “oh we have similar voices?!? No shit, it’s one body!” 😂
Listening to the "Chloe voice" was totally an experience. It is so interesting how even though there have been several hosts since, that is still the "default voice" when masking.
I mean I'm pretty sure thats how Nin sounded too if Im not wrong? But also if Im not wrong I believe they still present as Chloe in their public life? Again I could be completely wrong on that
@@embryblake4530 Nin is a Chloe + Nina fusion so having Nin sound similar to the first host makes complete sense though. And yeah, they still present as Chloe in public anyway, plenty of reasons why.
@yumeng4686 Yeah I know that. But you were saying it was an experience like you hadnt heard it in ages when it was Nins natural voice at least externally😁 not tryna fight was just a little confused by your comment and wanted to explain my confusion
Something in the way you just said "these people are the _survivors_ of childhood trauma" hit hard... because not everyone survives childhood trauma.
YALL WHEN I TELL YOU THAT I WASNT READY FOR THE "hello everybody welcome back to dissociadid" 😂
I was looking for this comment 😂 cause the way it rang in my ears and memory was wild
I thought the same thing! It caught me so off guard, I had to take a second
I came here to write the same thing!
I got to that point in the video and my jaw dropped!!
Seraphina: Lawful Good, Mango: Chaotic Evil
Hello, fellow D&D and Tabletop lover 😂 -Aris
“doesn’t matter what voice we use for Mango, cuz Mango doesn’t listen to anybody” that cracked me up 😂😂 She is huge! but that’s also probably cuz she’s very fluffy.
I would love to learn more about structural dissociation, but I don’t got moneys currently for patreon, so just leaving this here, if it matters at all.
"No, you donkey!" Gotta love Mike 😂
The switch from Mike to Soren really highlighted the point made earlier about how voices can be similar but different. Their voices are very similar, but I could definitely tell there had been a switch!
Also - Seraphina is GORGEOUS! 🥰
Mike you jumpscared me with the voice switch LMAO
I still don't understand how people use MOVIES as an example of a lot of things, not just mental health. They are works of FICTION.
Yeah even when they do have accurate facts, the only reason tv shows/movies get deemed "accurate" is because they only touch the surface of the topic. Like Greys anatomy, its factually correct, but thats only because they never go into depth on the illnesses, or the surgeries. It rarely shows them doing anything but asking for a scalpel and suction. If they tried to write it more accurate than that, it wouldn't be as interesting to the public and would be incredibly difficult, especially with all the technical terminology that would be used.
So movies/tv shows can never be used as an accurate representation for many things. They cant make something scientifically accurate without taking away some other aspect of the movie/show. Thats why we dont use them for references.
I have C-PTSD and no-one has ever really explained structural dissociation to me. Thank you so much for raising my awareness to this.
Sending love to you all ❤
Yes I also have C-PTSD too and never knew this. And I’m a psychology major lmao
@RoKer13 I also study Psychology but I only just started in October. Lol. Funny how this has passed us by!
Mike is that 1 alter that's chill af with someone till they hurt someone he loves just the vibe
I just want to add that I think you’re right about the way systems are discredited in order to silence them. I’ve thought a lot about the way you were treated online in 2020, just the sheer amount of hate you were receiving, because it just didn’t make sense. The only way it does make sense is if people were trying to discredit you because you’re so powerful and intelligent and willing to shed light on things that some people would prefer to keep in the shadows.
The kind of bravery it takes to continue to speak up after everything you’ve been through is more than I can possibly imagine. I just want you to know I have the deepest respect for you.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
@@DissociaDID Hello. Im an apsiring comic writer and artist. I have an idea for a comic but Im worried that the premise while unique can be offensive. It’s about a middle aged woman with DID helping people and starting her own charity. The alters are portrayed as abstract roommates learning to share their apartment, the woman’s brain. Think Friends meets Inside Out. Could that work or is the concept offensive?
Unless you have it... I wouldn't.
It _could_ maybe work if you worked with someone who has DID/OSDD and have them kinda on speed dial for questions ADHD have them look it over once you're done.
Several people with the disorder would be even better.
*not ADHD
My phone autocorrected that.
*for questions And have them look over...
I was privileged to learn recently that my daughter's partner has DID. She masks a lot and I never suspected. I think that since I had learned so much about it through this channel that they felt safe telling me. That is not the same as my being able to perceive any alters. I was told that when they get interested in my cooking it is one of the alters with that interest. But I never know who is fronting.
This video is so important to be seen, I feel a lot of the time it's the science that worsens the stigma/misconceptions
It's the wrong interpretation, if not clear enough....not the science, itself. Even after years of reading science papers, I still will get a " WTF is this saying".
@@TirrynaAnything scientific can be twisted because so many “formal” words/terms can sound scary in the right context. DID happens to have a lot of that going on because of how complex it is.
3:08 the switch FREAKED me out dude, i wasn't looking at the screen i thought it was an old clip of chloe. i see these people as individuals soo much that it took me a second to realize they're able to produce the same voice since it's the same body🤦♀️
It's so frustrating, the ignorance or lack of common sense of some people.
Thanks Mike, Soren the gang for another informative message ❤
“❤Hi everybody welcome back to dissociaDID❤ 🧢VOICE🧢

OMG I LOVE the new hair look! Also seeing Seraphina and Mango made me SO happy! As someone who can't have a cat I love being able to see other peoples pets ❤
I LOVE YOUR HAIR JOURNEY!!!
As someone who found this channel about a month ago, I find this extremely fascinating and I'm excited to learn more.
Same I'm even literally using the stuff that I'm learning from this channel to help correct one of my buddies ideas about what did is because we plan on making a character whose entire power revolves around did in a comic were making
NO!
Just... No!
DID and OSDD aren't superpowers!
People weren't bit by a trauma-active spider!
It's not "quirky traits" for a character. It's not funny dress-up.
This is a fucking disorder stemming from early, repeated childhood trauma!
Stop sensationalising our disorders!
Serafina looking at the camera 👁️ 👁️ Head empty no thoughts 😂😂🤍🤍🤍
i wish people understood these things more. ive been fakeclaimed just for playing online games, or because we have many nonhuman alters and fictives, and even for being autistic and having adhd too. its really harmful to be fakeclaimed for such small and stupid things, when people dont even know or understand how did actually works, cause its different for everyone. and they assume that things like autism, adhd, and other disorders, wont also affect how someone reacts to or processes trauma. and its honestly insane how many times ive been fakeclaimed for stupid things like this, and then the person also claims to know everything about did and/or that they know about how it affects our system more than we do.
i really wish your videos would reach more people, cause it would honestly be so so helpful to so many others, and we're glad that you do this, cause its helped us a lot too.
hi, if you're happy to answer, i've always wondered, is autism/adhd somthing that only effects whoever is fronting? or do all alters have it, or is it that some alters have it and some don't?
@@timtam4161 for us, all of us have it, but it can affect some of us differently
@@timtam4161 for us, it affects all of us, but it can present differently in different alters.
and also just to add a little extra thing, we're physically disabled too, and only i (our host) deal with it in our headspace, but it'll only affect anyone else when they're fronting :)
I'm diagnosed with C-PTSD, and you all have been instrumental in helping me work through it. You gave me language for things like amnesia barriers, integration, and disassociation.
In fact, today's video has shown light on something I've suspected: that's it all part of a spectrum. Because while I don't have DID, at times, it's easy -- very easy -- for my defense mechanisms to take person-like forms. I've often said that I missed DID by hairs. And this feels validated today.
In summary, thank you for all that you do, and thank you for enabling me to get started on working through my own trauma disorder.
Much love. ❤❤❤
I have experienced very similar things and feelings. My therapist said i have dissociative amnesia and derealization/depersonalization (along with a slew of other mental illnesses). We use IFS therapy model which gives an identity to your parts to help connect what inner part needs heard and healed. While many of us do not have DID, we have inner parts of us that were kept hidden dor similar reasons- to protect our mind and body.
My "protecter" part of me often won't allow me to open up to anyone until they've proven themselves as trustworthy. And while this is not a whole different identity itself, its a broken piece of me trying to help subconsciously. IFS therapy has been a life safer honestly, its allowed my brain to communicate with those parts that are trying to tell me something but obviously can't.
We do all have pieces of us that have their own roles, they just aren't full blown different identities. It truly is a scale.
Honestly, I feel similar to this. idk how intense it is, but like... it kind of feels like my reactions almost aren't entirely me, or like they're a significantly different side of me, like the facets of my personality can be starkly different to the point where I've nearly personified them, but there's no amnesia barriers [that I'm aware of anyways. XDDD], and I don't perceive them as completely distinct from me, just different sides to me, but they still almost feel like different people/give off some very different energies to my base state. I feel like I missed DID by a few hairs as well. Or maybe I'm just really imaginative and creative in how I examine the different aspects of myself. idk. :'D
@@jordynniccole7434 You've described almost precisely what it feels like for me / us to the point that you also use mixed first-person pronouns like I / we do. That is, sometimes, I'm "I;" other times, especially when we're considering our IFS work, we are "we."
@@thekarret2066 Yes, exactly! The way that I have often envisioned this is the way you have: a piece of me that has been isolated and, to some extent, been running by itself without my input.
@@jordynniccole7434have you heard of OSDD? i can't remember of the top of my head, but there are a few different types, it's like DID but there might be no amnesia and or the personalties aren't as complex (for a lack of a better term) and DID alters
We finally found two different DID-experienced psychologists in our state. Unfortunately the one person wants us to pay her then go get reimbursed by our health insurance. The other person takes our insurance we are waiting for a response from that doctor.
Good luck!! I hope they'll get bacl to you soon!
Best of luck to you! I hope that’s a positive experience :)
I am from Germany and study psychology. Your Videos are so helpfull and intresting for that!!Thank you for your effort! Much love❤😊
*Soren fronts*
*IMMEDIATELY takes of hat*
y'all are great xD
As a system ourselves, hearing both Soren and Mike saying that it is possible to lead a successful life really hit hard and is very appreciated. We only got diagnosed last year and honestly thought that we could never do anything good in life because of it. But your system along with your channel has helped us as a system so so much. Thank you❤
"Everyone's definition of success looks different" YES❤
This thought has done wonders for my anxiety & I finally trust that I know what is right for me, better than anyone else could❤
Thank you all so much for (continue) educating about Trauma (disorders). It‘s such an important topic that should be discussed more often and in a more realistic way.
You have saved my life. I left my parents two years ago so I can heal. I watched your videos on healing. I may not have DID but I fit all the symptoms for cptsd. I just want to thank you for what you do. Being educated on cptsd and DID has massively helped me understand myself. It’s also made me want a better life. I want to be happy. As you tell all of us that we deserve to be happy and to have a better life. I’m not fully healed yet … but I do believe those words. I try my best to do things for myself even when it feels hard. When I’m having hard days I watch your videos… I remind myself that if you can get through your hard days I can too.
I had an MRI a year or so ago. I was so nervous about it that I was super switchy and we were all trying to talk to each other. Just my MRI lighting up while I was havingna migraine got it sent to a group of psychologists and psychiatrists. My doctor was amazed and thought it was so cool. I was like, Sure! This was so cool 😅 I was having an MRI to see if I potentially had cancer, a clot, or anything along those lines. I got migraines randomly a few months after I had covid
Hey, just stopping by to make sure you possibly trigger warn comments about heavy medical disorders in the future as many people here have trauma from that! I hope your professionals were treating you well! -Aris
@@eversystemmI mean you could probably figure it out from the first sentence and it's not triggering
this couldn't have come at a better time, we recently reached out to the pottergate centre and we will be going privatley with them and finally offically get tested, it means alot to see these videos. On a diffrent not love the rainbow hair and i hope y'all are havin a great day -Honour
AHH consistent uploads, new hair, and a Seraphina cameo! Y'all are feeding us Fr fr. So glad to see you doing well 💖
The "Hi everybody welcome back to dissociaDID" threw me off so hard 😭 Now this wasn't the point Mike was making but it's interesting how different a voice can be within the same voice box
"You can do it" hit hard. Healthy or not, I definitely see y'all as role models and hearing that brought tears to my eyes.
Woah, I've never been this early before! Love seeing the hair change in every video lately. Seems like a lot of you are getting to express a little bit of yourselves on the outside! On a more serious note, videos like these are sooo important. The more people with lived experience with DID can talk about their experiences, the sooner the stigma surrounding the diagnoses can start to dissolve. The videos you all have been putting out lately have been amazing.
I actually learnt DID from Split 💀 Even back then when i was young, it rubbed me the wrong way. I remember thinking why the guy with the mental problems had to be the "bad guy". Later on i discovered this channel and learnt so much about DID. A big thanks to all of you, you all are doing an amazing job :>
I don't usually comment on appearance since I do not want to judge in any way, but your hair is amazing. Not saying anyone should care about anyone's opinion on their appearance but their own. But you are really beautiful as you appear on your videos not just your hair but all of you as you are so brave and open to educate us. I have learned so much and sharing your massages wherever appropriate. Thank you.
thank you so much for talking about the issues Split caused. a friend came out to me and my most recent ex as plural right before I discovered I have OSDD and probably used to have full blown DID. my ex's response was "oh, like Multiple Personality Disorder from that movie Split" and I should have known it would go bad from there. They turned that friend group and literally everyone I know in my city against me just because people are so afraid of that violent alter from split. I've known a few systems and literally all of them are self destructive, not violent. It's so sad that ppl just won't do the research or talk to a therapist😭
Hi everyone! I've been watching your guys' videos for so so long and watching these videos has helped me help my partner and her system as best i can. When me and my girlfriend first started talking she was scared about the logistics of me Dating someone with DID (AKA her) and if her DID would somehow make our relationship difficult. Luckily i had the knowledge from this channel to be able to support her with everything she needs. We've also been together long enough that i can usually tell who's fronting when, even if they don't outright tell me and i think that's also because they are all comfortable around me. I'm not exactly sure what this comment is for but i just wanted to let you all know just how much DissociaDID has helped me and my partner so very much. Thank you all for what you do
That flip he did into the more Chloe-esque voice took me out. Idk know to explain but it was just like. Jarring 😂
So I always make comments about your appearance and... That's because it's not surprising how informative and brilliantly executed your videos are anymore. I've been learning A LOT and not in a second of it, have I felt lectured. The flow is incredible, the editing is amazing, the sources are more than satisfying- It's so natural to me now, that I don't really talk about it. I just wanted y'all to know how valuable it is and how much you're loved & appreciated. Great hair btw :p 🩷
Thank you!
i’m discovering my osdd-1b system and i have two alters who sound almost exactly the same but have DRASTICALLY different personalities- so hearing you talk about how the voice box can only go so far made the two of them (who are more masc in my fem body) feel so validated and loved, thank you :D
I am glad that I am able to speak about it in my everyday life. I was told for a long time, "Don't tell anyone." I am successful in my life right now and I no longer have to hide.
Depictions of people with mental illness in movies and pop culture as violent monsters absolutely boil my blood. It's so exploitative, harmful, and either completely ignorant and irresponsible, or simply evil. I'm glad you're educating so many people and raising awareness, thank you!
Y’all don’t understand how much this video means to us. We sometimes struggle with our identity because some of us can act pretty similar to each other and our voices aren’t always obviously different. It’s a common worry of ours and it makes us happy to hear that it’s not something we should fuss over.
Thank you for this video. We hope y’all will have a splendid today and everyday after ❤
I have a friend that has alters and at first I had no clue about it or if they were even telling the truth. Almost been friends with them a year now and I'm so glad I could learn about this from them and finding more information through your channel. I hope more people are accepting of people like you and my friend ❤
TW: Toxic friend/ex
Yesterday, my ex who I stayed friends with, blocked me because I set boundaries with their partner (our ex-friend/acquaintance) I had 2 new traumas happen this week, and a traumaversary in the upcoming month. I'm hurting so much, but DissociaDID brings my pain down. Even if it's just 100 to 99. I can't thank you enough. -Brea
Honestly, good riddance. It may hurt now, but let people like that be gone from your life if they can't do something so simple as respecting your boundaries. You deserve respect and a friendship that reflects that. You will find people who love and respect you for who you are ❤
Reminds me of the one percent theory from the book 'atomic habits' that one indeed leans more onto lifestyle, but the basic fundaments are that change is hard and happens over time, but one percent change at a step is allot of change in the big run. And I can just hope your (and you guys your) hurt will get a little less, pain and memory is a hard thing but acceptance and goals to move towards are always lingering around the corner. Take care all of you!
8:38 THIS. Sorry to comment twice but we had another thought lol. We’re so livid that this perception of DID is still around, and on top of that it KEEPS HAPPENING. A sequel to a horror movie that came out a couple years ago is in the works and the bad guy in that was heavily implied to have DID.
And even the better representation of DID we’ve seen still falls into the same tropes as the bad ones. Moon Knight being the primary example. To start its portrayal was shockingly accurate, down to bringing up how childhood trauma plays a role in it. But towards the end of the show it used the “evil alter” trope to add tension and it pissed us off so much.
DID isn’t a crutch or a plot device that filmmakers can use to make a horror movie villain more interesting or deep. It just makes more stigma.
Jake wasn't evil, he was just doing what was necessary and taking out the bad guys because Steven and Mark couldn't do it. I believe that was explained earlier or implied from what I remember
@@eversystemm evil or excessively violent. Either way it still adds to the stereotype.
Disregardong the low the bar concerning representation...
Moon Night was really good. They really tried to portray the inner communication, the locked away trauma, the amnesia... They even included a fictive! (not wanting to spoil, so I'll not name them.)
It’s truly a Great video. Now only if people will actually watch this… i sent this to several people. Cause they expect us to be “different”/overt in a way we can be if feeling safe. However most of the time it’s covert. This is what DID is all about- our lives DID is there to protect us all to mask, to be who we are. But it’s definitely hard to get help because of the stigma, or lack of knowledge of how to help us. Currently I was in crisis, however, there’s a lack of support. I couldn’t really get support or help because lack of resources and professionals with this disorder. I am currently doing schooling in medical field and we have debated whether we want to continue creating content or keep ourselves private. We put our content on hold until we decide. It’s a hard decision to have because it’s already bad enough I’m Deaf and now DID is also in the picture that we now have to focus on in order to be successful and have effective communication system.
FYI , LOVE the hair. ❤
25 and just recently found out I had DID, I have had contact with alters since 15 but I didn’t know that what I was experiencing was in fact DID. I’m a teacher with my own apartment, a loving girlfriend, and overall am very happy. It’s possible!!
It's very inspiring... Thank you for sharing. Wishing you the best 💙
Thank you so much for this amazing video, Mike/Soren(?). Its so informative.
I hope yall are doing well and sending all the love and strength to everyone in the system, Soren(?)❤. Stay hydrated and continue to be an amazing and wonderful people that yall are❤.
SERAFINA GOT SO MUCH DARKER IN THE FACE I THOUGHT WHEN WAS A DIFFERENT CAT!!
I guess I hadn‘t seen her since she was still kitten adjacent, she‘s a whole adult now😮
It completely makes sense that your vocal cords can only do so much and DID isn’t performative, so it’s not about trying to get others to believe that you have it. It’s about preserving your own life and surviving despite unimaginable things going on. It makes sense that your voice would be the least of your worries in situations that are constantly traumatic.
It was so fun to see the fur babies again, they’ve gotten so big! 🖤 Thank you all for making this video. A lot of love to you all, DissociaDID 🖤
So happy to see y'all back again. Thanks for such an informative vid!!
I love how even though you guys are specifically talking about DID, there is still good information and help for everybody. I struggle with depression, anxiety, and ptsd, and because of stigma, the ptsd part doesn't feel real or valid, and the depression has gotten to the point where I can't work, which feels stupid. And I so appreciate you guys telling people they can do it. I feel it, and I don't have DID. And I appreciate it, I appreciate feeling like it's ok to have mental illness, that I'm still a valuable and worthwhile person
I always wondered how alters chitchat inside the brain.... Like it always surprises me when one of my cousins alter that I only just meet, can narrate my whole back story like they watched it in a cinema a thousand times.
It scares me sometimes and other times I just wanna know who the heck is snitching on me!!!
Lately it’s been feeling like I’ve been out of my mind and whenever people ask me if i’m a system I freeze and then I go diving into what it is and what it means
So now I’m trying to figure out if I am one or not, and your guys videos have really been helping :)
i think this is like. one of my top five favorite videos you've ever made. Thank you
a lil anxious to leave a full comment, but- y'all's videos bring a lot of joy, and especially the angry ones feel very good and validating to see. it has given a lot of courage and- sense of realness, permission, i guess ? to feelings and stuff that come at night when i most expect them (cause havin' 'em at night feels safe an manageable)
so yeah. y'all are a huge inspiration, even if it's entirely parasocial. i think we've been watching since early when nin was host? seeing the disociaDID project evolve so much has been very cool. so thank you. it takes SO much drive and courage and power to be a public figure at all, let alone with all the bullshit, and i just- can't imagine the kind of dedication to one's community and human well-being required to keep at it when so much tries to get in the way.
even if it's plain to see y'all are stronger for it in the end, and are such a bright, warm light for all who see you, it still fucking sucked. i'm just glad y'all are still here, making these invaluable videos.
y'all are really cool,
much love,
a random internet stranger :3
This is a great video topic! So many misconceptions surround DID. "Multiple Personality Disorder" is definitely one I hear a lot. Thanks for helping to clear things up and educate viewers! Sending lots of love to everyone
Another great video! I have never met someone who admitted to having DID. I like to believe I am generally open-minded and quick to grasp complicated or new concepts, but I wonder how I would have reacted to someone telling me they have DID if it was before I came across your videos. Especially if they weren’t as knowledgeable on or good at explaining their disorder…
At least now I know for sure that people with DID have an ally in me. Even if someone should come across other people who didn’t believe them, I will. That’s in no small part thanks to your work over the years, DissociaDID. 💕
Love the hair! Getting Kyle vibes, Mike. ❤
honestly before I saw the Anthony Padilla video and then videos on this channel I only knew DID from media (and only one comedy show called it dissociative identity disorder, everything else still calls it multiple personality disorder) and while it all didn't make sense the way they presented it, I had no idea how DID forms, so I didn't give it much thought - it was just depicted as a mental illness, not a survival mechanism.
And I think that's what we all need to realize about mental disorders - it's not just ill people, it's usually much more complex than that and we need to try and understand them instead as a society. And not treat these people as dangerous and scary, like so many people do.
"It doesn't need to be performative in order to be accepted" LOUDER FOR THE BACK
Idk if anyone has ever told you this before but your videos help me write characters that have DID without them being like "the chosen one." Or super duper special. Your videos help me make them normal people. 😊
What are you working on?
Ah, please don't...
Thanks for the video Mike and Soren! And I also just wanted to say a huge thanks to all of your awesome system for providing a safe space online! I was in a bad space when I started the video and actually sighed with relief when the intro music started (I find it really grounding). So thanks again, and thank you to Soren or whoever decided to to put it back at the start too!
The first point reminded us of an issue that's been a collective struggle lately. Getting frustrated at the body for not looking or sounding "right" is something we have happen a lot when a part that isn't used to fronting very often spends more time in the body. Some of the time it can be bad enough they feel they have to hide their face and avoid people and mirrors. Being patient and gentle with ourselves and realizing we can only do so much with the same body to differentiate has helped those parts adjust. Finding people who are able to still be respectful and see each one for who they are despite them looking "wrong" is the best fix we have found.
As someone who is still figuring out how to manage a system, thank you for your channel and videos, they're incredibly helpful
This channel has helped so much and taught me so much. It makes me want to work to get better instead of giving up. Thank you. String(host) and Shade(Protector)
Awesome video!!! Thanks again from someone who actually has DID.❤❤❤😁🇦🇺
1:42 hahahah I cracked up so much. imagine right after diagnosis they would go “first things first, let’s get you some voice training so you can get right on training how to use your body to sound different” “why?” “oh, so others can differentiate you better” 😂😂
Mike "No you donkey-!" that literally made me laugh out loud. (and back up the video a couple times to hear it again, sorry, its how you said it and your expression and everything!) In all seriousness: Logical point, no wonder it's a pet peeve. And since we're talking about voices, if its okay to say, yours (even the accent?) is reminding me a lot of Kyle in this video.
I can't hold a job because I am mentally/emotionally 13 yrs old, everyone else in our system are 15-17 years old. Our ages is a main factor for why we are disabled and haven't been able to hold down a job. Trying to get progress moving in therapy
I found your channel a few years ago and I love your videos. I made some friends who have DID and since I had found you before meeting them, I wasn't completely clueless about DID. Your videos still help me with those friends and I'm so glad I watch your videos 🫶
I would love love love an updated video and/or series on the many levels and forms of structural dissociation. A lot of people out there don’t realize that PTSD/dissociation comes in soooo many different forms
You guys fall nothing short of iconic and inspirational, thank you for making our Sundays worth while!
This video is so spot on! Thank you for doing this, and helping other people learn about DID! : )
I have never clicked a video this fast before, been very excited since the TikTok teasing it!
Omg the kitties are so big🥹🥹🥹🥹 thank you for the cat content (and smart to use it to promo the Patreon lol)
I'm loving how your hair changes so much, SLAY! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love seeing your growth from when you first started the channel as Chloe to now. It is amazing that you just keep persevering even through all the terrible things that seem to be thrown at you, especially the last couple of years. You have a strength that is admirable. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge to the world. I know I've learned a lot over the years watching your videos. The mind is an incredible organ that can do amazing things to keep us safe. Thank you for your hard work and your bravery for sharing your journey!!
I got diagnosed with ptsd recently, and it's hard but your videos are helping ❤
Highlighting the biggest talking points, and hard hitting facts, is so good! I just LOVE the editing 🎉 great job, whoever is in charge of it ❤
Thankyou SO much for addressing the 'violent victim' nonsense. I haven't told people i have DID , all i have to say is flashbacks or abuse survivor and i have had doctors and professionals , such as police officers immediately ask "do you have a murderer" ? or are you going to bite me? Like WHAT? So, i go to dentists, doctors ,MRIs etc suffer like hell and don't say a word..I'm 63 years old by the way. Your channel and one other has helped me so much, just not to feel alone and keep going i am grateful to my group for helping me survive; None of us are dangerous - unless you're allergic to sarcasm. PS That hair is Fantastic !
I want to say that even though i dont have DID or ptsd, i was diagnosed with adhd only this past year.
In addition to being glad to understand people with trauma and related disorders better, the core spirit of your videos to me is at least in part, open-minded understanding and acceptance, and patient compassion. Its something i needed to apply to myself for a long time, though i didnt know it. Turns out a deep sense of internalized shame and brokenness is an incredibly natural and common result of undiagnosed and under-treated adhd. Disentangling oneself from that for me requires acceptance and forgiving myself, so i can learn new ways of doing things that arent needlessly difficult. Im thankful to have multiple sources of support in my life now reminding me of that.
Thank you for what you all have done, for real
hey, we’re a big fan of yall!
also love the hair!
OMG THEY HEARTED OUR COMMENT
Love you, Mike! Thanks for sharing with us all this info you combat in people's misconceptions! ❤
About DID portrayal, there is one stargate episode (watching on prime rn) that portrays a clearly "inspired by DID" situation. But the writers set it like different souls got trapped by technology in the same body. Thanks to you and other DID resources out there, the first glimpse we got of the situation I was like woooow they did some research. It seems quite accurate and I loved how metamorphically it was representative. You had two bodies in the situation, with one rejecting the situation with the headaches and anger resulting from it, and another accepting the situation while still suffering from switching. You could also see symptoms change depending on who is fronting etc. It'd love to know what everyone thinks about it 😊
Stargate, lifeboat, season 7 episode 6
Note: since it's an old series, I wouldn't be so surprised some had DID on the team or in their family and just prompted the script like it was a random idea they had 😅
Love this! Its so good for ppl to know the misconceptions! Its important for everyone to know!
Also, love the hair!!!🤗✨
Your hair is amazing like the Northern Lights! Your hair always looks awesome but this is next level awesome!
