  • Mike's Meet The Alters video! Mike is known online as the "class clown" of our DID System - often switching out during gaming streams on our Twitch (@ The System Stream) or making lighthearted rebukes towards our Host (Kya). Most people don't know that he used to be an argumentative and standoffish Alter who struggled to connect to others; or what changes, healing and integration were necessary for him to become the firm but funny Protector he is now.
    Kya explains the psychology of Dissociative Identity Disorder - the reasons Alters exist as part of a coping mechanism developed to survive repeated childhood trauma. Mike explains his connections to other Alters in our System (both old and new,) who he is (a lovable asshole), who he was, and tells you the story of how he got here.

    when mike said that he doesn’t regret how he used to be but he’s glad he isn’t like that anymore, that really resonated with me. i used to be really angry and non-immediate family members have recently been criticizing me for how i used to be. but my goal now is really to be there for my younger self, because at the time i didn’t feel like anyone was. i don’t regret how i was, but i’m glad for the growth that has turned me into the person i am today, and i will not stop advocating for my younger self

      Adults often have strange and unreasonable expectations of young people without any concept of having grace with them. A behaviour in a young person is a form of communication. Your younger self was communicating with them and they didn’t like the message… that’s why I think they can’t let it go. I’m glad you advocate for that younger self… and remember, boundaries boundaries boundaries boundaries boundaries

      I'm not sure if this is ok to ask, since I'm not a system, but do some alters find it uncomfortable or offensive in some way to be referred to as a fragment, since it goes along with being less "fully formed" or maybe less complex sometimes? And is it difficult for alters to realize that some of the major or minor changes to their personality and outlook on life may be due to integration or fusion?
      Much love to the entire system, and thank you for being willing to introduce yourself Mike. You seem like a really solid guy.

    I don't usually leave comments but I just had to express how happy this video made me feel. I've been keeping up with your channel/system for the past 3 or 4 years; it's clear you've been through a lot in that time, and I really respect how you've balanced transparency and maintaining privacy/boundaries throughout all of that. I've learned so much about DID (as someone who doesn't have it but is generally interested in psychology/trauma) but beyond that, you all have taught me just how resilient people can be and how little we truly understand about our own brains. I don't think I'll ever stop being surprised by the complexity and diversity of the human experience.
    Anyway, that was a long-winded way to say: Mike, it's great to officially meet you. You seem like a stand-up guy, and I really admire how you talk about emotional growth. I'm glad you exist.

That way, his warmth and positivity could carry you through when times are tough. And, being Kyle’s brother, he wanted to be able to help you take care of Kya.
    Either way, it’s nice to see you again, and to learn about your healing journey. ❤

    Kya and Co! Just a friendly reminder that salt lamps like the one in the back of your video are toxic to cats! If Mango were to decide to lick the salt lamp (which my cat did when I had a salt lamp) it can cause salt toxicity and even death depending on the amount ingested. Keeping it out of her reach could be good. Or if your bathroom is off limits to her, it could go in there.
    I love your videos and I have my notifications on for when they come out. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with such articulate words and such kindness. It helps so many people.

    I know there have been some hard times for the system, but I gotta say, the growth I have seen all of you go through, the commitment and dedication to your healing, the enormous amount of education you have provided - which as a side note, helped me point a friend of mine in the direction of a professional who could help them with a dissociative disorder - and seeing alters like Mike, grow and develop is just so profound. Not that it really means anything because I am a stranger on the internet, but, I am proud of you. 💕

    Coming from someone without DID, the way you guys talk about dealing with trauma and the healing process feels kind of familiar. Like there are pieces of myself that feel so subconscious and unclear, but then as time goes on and I feel safer and start to heal more it’s like something “clicks into place” and I feel more like a whole person. I know it’s not the fusion you experience, but something about it seems so similar to that. I guess I’m just trying to say your videos resonate with those of us without DID too. Thank you for putting them out there!

    As an actor, this channel is one of my favorite things and is so fascinating and cool and helpful to me. I know that you are not acting, but watching your videos is actually really helpful from an acting point of view because since your alters are so vastly different, it helps me to see details about changes in posture, voice pitch and habits, etc that most actors dont think about when it comes to playing a character different from yourself. Because you actually are and have these alters, it's super helpful for me to watch so I can think about details to make my portrayals of characters more genuine and authentic. I am NOT saying you are acting or pretending at ALL. I'm saying studying the differences between your alters has helped me to notice my own speech habits and posture, which helps me create more authentically different characters. Not sure if that makes sense. But I love your channel and I'm so grateful to get to learn more about DID!

    Hi Kya, or whomever might be reading this. You don't have to write back, but you'll definitely make my day if you do.
    I just wanted to say how amazing you are and how insightful your content is. I haven't been here long but I've been watching your videos for a few days now and you've helped me open my eyes to what DID is truly all about.
    I recently joined a mental health group where I met a couple of systems and, while they were positive interactions, I was ultimately terrified of talking to them. Not because I find them scary like how movies and TV portrays them, but because I knew next to nothing about the disorder and didn't want to say or do something wrong and offend or hurt them in any way. (Part of my own healing process involves extreme social anxiety and my need of others' approval of me.)
    They could tell how nervous I was (I'm not great at hiding my anxiety) and recommended I look up your channel on UA-cam because it was broken down fairly well what all the terms are and what other things are important to know about persons with DID.
    They were absolutely right with their recommendation. I'm obviously not an expert, but I'm glad you've shared what you have so that uneducated people like me can get past that boundary. Now, while I still have my own issues to work through, I can at least be confident in knowing how to handle myself while talking to a system.
    Thank you all so much for what you do with this project. Lots of love from Wisconsin here in the US.
