i just had a really long heartfelt talk with my friend from 3-6 am and she opened up to me about her disorder so i’m trying my best, watching every youtube video and articles on this topic to try to help her and be more educated on it
Good for you!
We have DID, it is difficult to tell people due to stigma.

If she's a teen she's faking
I am 52. I have been officially diagnosed with DID, PTSD, and Bi-Polar for 15 years. Hallucinations are definitely a part of my life , both auditory and visual. Auditory is all the time but I would not call them hallucinations, just conversations between all of us. The visual ones are often very scary. Each person is individual. There are things that are in common with my DID brothers and sisters but no one is identical. Thank you for creating such a non threatening way of explaining DID. Well done.
Isn't ptsd shellshock?
When you say "just conversations between all of us " , what do you mean by that ?
@@Svenwasere the “hallucinations” are just alters conversing while fronting.
As a fellow system, completely agree.
@@Svenwasere it means total chaos, which is why its classified as a disorder/disease
Here is the best explanation of the development of DID that I have ever heard. It's like this: a person's wise, sub-conscious mind decides to place itself into a little jar for safe keeping, in order to survive otherwise un-survivable pain. Another part-self must necessarily be created, then. It's really, really simple. It works. It enables survival.
I have a mental illness i don't know what you call it.when there is a football world cup i become the greatest player in my thoughts and enjoy my stardom . it happens with me from a small age .if there is tennis tournament i become the best tennis player and in my mind and thoughts i enjoy being that person actually I don't like my reality and I enjoy everything in my thoughts.similarly be it any sporting event i become the best player in my thoughts and enjoy the stardom,i feel happy and I don't even know i m doing this.if i like a car i think that i have already bought the car and i m enjoying the ride of it.i don't know what it is .. I don't like being myself.i remember when i was a teen like 15 i became a prophet of God in my thoughts and i enjoyed it because prophet is a powerful personality.that time i thought of myself as a prophet of God in my subconscious mind.i m sad now and i have no Life plans no social interaction no sex drive no children no future goals ..just this delusional thoughts that pop out of nowhere..i have depression and anxiety..heart beat paltipitations etc😞😭😭😭
@@Alchemist523 yoooo same! I be thinking the same thing! Sometimes I be thinking I can be a hero or a villain. Sometimes I can be godly but yet also be the opposite with my dark side. I dont know what you call it but I think like that too!

Can people with these symptoms experience loving intimate relationships?
I was with my therapist talking about how I feel different emotions when certain things happen and explaining how they are kinda their own person and she said that WASN'T normal the way I was shocked thinking it was low-key normal and she brought up DID and now I'm here doing my research to see if I relate to this
Huh wtf hows rhat not normal!!! I experience it too its called mixed emotions
@@Yu1551 there was a few other things we talked about that I wasn't too comfy to add sorry for that
DID is real but it's naturally extremely controversial. Modern academia can't ignore it anymore because there's too much data and consistencies that have to be explained. It's funny cuz we already know that we all dissociate. We know so much that yet no one finds DID to be the most interesting disorder (or is it a reorder?) of all of the disorders. Savant syndrom*** is damn close. it took me so long to accept that I have a DD. Ive tried to falsify it in every way.
Then again, I've also believed in the "big bang theory, it's connection to chemistry, and abiogenesis from chemistry and electricity was proof of naturalism.
So..... do you have DID?
You can use this to your benefit.
I have this diagnosis. I've lost friends when I've told them because they fear it not because of experiences with me. I was horribly abused and tortured from infancy to toddlerhood and sexually. emotionally, and physically abused until I was 15 and chose to live on the streets. I have massive gaps in memory...in my adult life I've ended up states away from home twice. Medication has helped immensely in just keeping me from disassociating...I'm still always afraid of it. It could happen any time im in a situation of trauma. It hasnt for 5 years so far but I'm still on edge because I've lived with it for 4 decades. It's not like Sybil, the disassociation doesnt have a name...I'm not aware of it...I just cease to exist. Its fing scary
You seem like an amazing human soul. I wish I could meet you and have tea or something. Anyways, praying for the best for you. 🙏🏼✨
Keep strong melanie love from Canada♥️
So sorry this happened to you, you are 💪 stronger than you think. Praying for your healing ❤️🩹🙏🏽
Meditation helps chant mantra and read gita it will help too combine with your other self and your all personality will start to combine with one
Agreed
Dissociation : a way to forget how awful you felt/feel for a while. Writing helps a lot. Write a shopping list, anything. it will help you discover you can handle anything if you write stuff down. it need not be about the traumatic things. sometimes is best to write encouraging things to yourself. past is gone. you are here. focus on what you like/ what uplifts you, when you can. tell yourself truth - it is not a disorder - it's a coping strategy for emotional pain.
We write notes to ourselves in our journaling to be found by each other as needed. It’s often the little writing simple niceties like “you are doing marvelously,” and the like, but it means a great deal.
Our childhood was mainly, Sexual assault from the ages of 18 months to (the bodily age), hospitalisation of family and friends, near death at the age of 3 to 10, rape from 1 year old to now, abuse and neglect, kidnapping from 3 to 10 including trafficking, kicked out and becoming homeless for three years and CPS coming and taking us away on and off for (bodily age) years. We don’t know how we survived any of it. -Amber
I hope you're doing better. I can't even fathom how a person could do that to their children. You are very strong survivor. There is light in life even thou you were shown only darkness since birth. I wish your system the best, you definitely deserve it.
hope you're doing alright 🫂
i hope those people are in fking hell,
I hope you're on a path to recovery. You deserve to feel happy.
I’m so sorry you went through all that! That’s just absolutely horrible! I’m praying for you…oxox 💕
final fusion is not required. as long as a person or system can become functional and healthy, there is no need to fully integrate.
But it feels so good.

@@kaiyodei you're already dead inside
@@CarNerd lol do i know you?
Thank you to all those with did who posted to this thread. I feel less alone now. Our stories are so similar and our diagnosis has never been depicted correctly in the media. We arent scary. Weve been severely abused but are "fine" unless we arent and we are good at hiding that even when we wont remember those periods if time. It's horrible and disconcerting to be an adult and have enormous memory gaps ...and to continue having them. In my case I also leave...which can mean walking off and found a few miles away or, twice so far, getting on a bus and ending up thousands of miles away and losing months of time. Its terrifying to have to protect oneself from whatever might cause disassociation in order to avoid something you will never remember.
I know 3 people who have this, and it's different for each of them. One of them just recently learned why he keeps having these blanks of memories while on our side were still talking to him, only his way of talking changes in chat. It's a very interesting disorder for sure
I have a friend with this too. He can never decide to vote the color blue or red. The two keep battling in his mind and won't allow him to process information and come to a reasonable conclusion on specific various issues. They keep saying choose either or.
Did your friend know they had changed the way they talked? We’re they aware of that? Was it an accent change or a subject change?
@@freedom7475 accent. Like my girlfriend, when her "you feel" alter comes out her voice becomes childish. When my roommates 600 year old Romani come out he has more of a Cajun Romani accent
Indeed. I for one have a different accent to the “host”, as do we all; it helps to differentiate. Our use of language differs as well; one speaks in English English interspersed with olde English, in a matter of fact tone. Another has a very grim resting face and a lower voice with a Slavic accent. The list goes on, but all the same, we can still imitate each other to maintain the illusion to mono-minded mortals that they speak with a singular entity, when in reality, they doth not.
I'm watching it to make an outline of the character in my novel on which I'm working on. But really i goosebumps after knowing a lot of things in detail about DID and PDSD. I think a lot more people needs to get educated on this unexplored topic(to which ppl think it seems unrealistic and is limited upto few fictional movies n all) Because of the less knowledge most of time ppl consider it as spirits,ghosts, and other kind of scary stuff. But this video will surely be an eye- opener of many,who r still struggling and r confused about their conditions. It's just an illness just like any other. Ppl should treat patients like this with humbleness, love and respect afterall it's our social and humanitarian responsibility to give these ppl a better world wiithout having any ill thoughts towards these ppl. 💜💜💜
that is why one can question if it's culture bound. other cultures will see this as having more than one soul and it's a good thing.
It's not always a fun disorder and some of us are aware of the changes but can't control it, you know what it's like to be in sociopath mode when you want to be normal and not say and do mean things to people or when the depressed abused part wants to ruin the day, and the not necessarily knowing what might trigger the change, and most of your memories are hazy. The movie Sybil is completely off base, that's the extreme rare occasion.
@@TheOfficialZombieWhisperer should someone make a "plural" movie based on some of the "what what?" things some plurals will tell you about? like how some go beyond the notion of an inner world to a literal "i have a second body on the planet Altreus, also I share a headmate with another system(system hopping)"
@@kaiyodei 😶
@@kaiyodei system hopping isnt an actual thing that can be done and was started by the endogenic community which isnt DID/OSDD.
Though there are alot of wtf moments
Interesting...i was diagnosed DID. I remember finding papers "i" wrote in school and college, and I would think dang, this person is smart, only to find out I was the person who had written.them. it was if I was another person when I wrote them cause it didnt even sound like the person I was at that time. It now makes sense.
it's rough conditions with the loved ones. Dissociation is strategy of your mind to keep you alive. Much of what we had to endure in our family was actually violence of every kind. Emotional, psychological, verbal. The dissociation helps us handle the utter terror we felt when very young, knowing there is no safety or love or care available where we were.
I feel it is important to say that demon possession is in no way shape or form part of DID. And this stigma needs to end. It is an extremely dangerous way to look at mental illness. Yes, some of us in the DID community have alters that are nonhuman. This is not demon possession. Please stop demonizing mental illness.
Furthermore, "final fusion" is now seen as extremely dangerous and not what someone needs who is plural. Functional multiplicity is the end goal.
Church sheeps will call mental iilness as Demons 😂

Generally, the trauma has to occur before or by the age of 8 for one to develop DID. This is because this is when the personality integrates. You can develop other dissociative issues or PTSD after exposures to trauma later, but one cannot develop DID after a trauma that solely happened in adulthood. DID can be diagnosed later in life because often the host personality is unaware that they have DID.
That is an awesome thing to think about. The earliest I ever remember having other personalities was when I turned 15. My mind has completely shut out reasoning and emotion therefore I am not particularly able to identify what or when my problems started. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and DID when I was 24. In the past I was able to keep everything underneath and let it ride but just like pain, this demands to be felt and heard. I am on medicine but it doesn’t always work. I lost my family and a lot of my friends because of this. Not saying they left because I had mental problems, but I myself could not figure out which world I had to live in. I go through multiple emotions a day and have spells of random crying and laughter that I can’t explain. I am tired of losing people. I’m really tired of losing myself. Idk who I am going to be when I wake up, or who is going to take over or take me out. It drives my paranoia absolutely crazy.
oh omg thank you, ive been going through childhood trauma (conciously) for a while now (I'm 16, and it got bad when i was 10). I was scared that it would develop, so i was looking at how to prevent it. Thank you so much.
@@spacebar9733 of course, I'm glad you found this helpful. All the best. I'm sorry to hear you're going through that.
@@1995jopo I'm very sorry you are going through that. I wish you all the best. Sending good vibes and healing your way.
I'm so sorry, @@1995jopo that sounds challenging.
Damn..
@2:10, I have experienced all of it except for trafficking but I was held captive like a male stud animal. They broke me like a wild horse and he went through inconceivable heartache.
It's unfair that a good kid like that has to experience so much in every important part of his life. That's why ppl like me have to protect him...he won't love himself so that is why alters exist. The worst part is knowing that the people you love have to see how effed up you are.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
RAHHHH
You beatiful bastard
nonsense
to say someone needs to protect you is a form of manipulation. what it means is, they dont think you are enough.
You are enough, God has given everyone of his creations grace and strength to come to a place of surrender and a time to be in a shelter. Not to escape pain, but to gather strength to fight against it, to wrestle the pain into blessing and become better instead of bitter.
Through Jesus, all of this is possible. You were created to overcome.
amen. I hope you are doing well.
I think ive always had DID. As of late, I've been having incredibly realistic and vivid dreams the last year. Only to find out, some were probably dreams and some were events even my friends could recall. The scariest one by far is a time my friend saw me driving around in a car with someone I normally don't associate with, and calling out his name from the window earlier that morning. No way, I thought, because I'd been sleeping up till then. But he said it looked exactly like me. Was I out of it? Was he seeing things? Would I sound crazy if I went to the person I was allegedly with and asked? Idunno. Scary shit though.
Edit: I did experience trauma as a child tho. Repititive sexual abuse
I’m having the exact same things happen over the last few years and it’s terrifying. I wasn’t abused or sexually abused at all. Idk what triggers it. I don’t feel real a lot of the time. Or I snap in and out of reality and dreams.
Took me forever, but I managed to get to know - and love all of my "alters".
I hear them, almost like they're thoughts - but not my own.
I get feedback, I get laughs and a better understanding of who I am.
I've recorded all of their names, their ages, their gender identities, their favorite songs, animals, just for the sake of knowing them all.
@Water.
They all believe themselves to be real.
But they also know that their reality isn't the one I know.
So...yes, and no.
@@catgymnast8224
No, they all sound unique.
Same here :)
yeah, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you probably don't have DID.
How are they ... describe...
Im not sure if i have DID or Schiz. I'm fond of writing stories in first person, im always the protagonist. Im like rewriting all my life experience that I could remember and sometimes it felt like Im the person that I was writing to this day. But Im loving it. I think it is a super power. It was like I am travelling back to those time I have written, a meditation, a dream, a prayer.
My uncle abused me as a 22 month old baby, my first freaking memory, my Great Grandfather too I don't remember when he started I was out of training pants I do remember, I have issues within the different parts of me, I feel like a puzzle and all the pieces are in a mess and the edges are rugged and misshapen, I know when I go through some of the changes, I can't control when or where it happens the triggers are inconsistent, imagine having a registered pedophile next door, a daily reminder, I'm in southwest Oregon and no place affordable to move to after everything burned down last year.
Oh I am so sorry! Your story is so hard! You are not alone! This ugly wicked behavior has affected others. See if you can find EMDR therapy.
You can remember that....? Most people forget about their trauma already.. that's interesting
@@littlewarp you never forget your first memory, it's the only one where I can see my toddler body, I have serious issues because of it, trust none what so ever, I sometimes think about taking something to get rid of everything.
@@littlewarp I think it is different for everyone. Some people do not remember anything at all, some do remember a few parts and some do remember everything. When that stuff happened to me as a kid I was dissociating (not the full time so I think that's why I remember some parts). In 5th grade I remembered that something happened and who it was but I didn't really remember the actions. I forgot about it again soon ans then it popped up again in seven grade (started therapy there as well). Since the 10th grade I have bad flashbacks, and dissociations ( also had seizures which looked like I was epileptic. Sometimes I couldn't move parts of my body or my entire body. Experience depersonalisations as well) and I remember some parts and yeah have shitty flashbacks. I think more people realize it again when they got older or are in stressfull situations. Some will never realize it and some never forgot it
@@TheOfficialZombieWhisperer Wait what??
A cause you missed can be prolonged abuse over time due to being supply for a narcissist.
Women more likely being diagnosed over men is 100% because women will actually seek help while men think it's fine to just "toughen up and deal with it" not realizing their choice is hurting more than just themselves. I know this because I have been both
i got diagnosed with DID, PTSD, severe anxiety, social anxiety, and depression two years ago when i was 16. at the time i thought maybe i was just dealing with some sort of personality disorder because i found from my mom that my biological father who i have only seen once in my life had split personality disorder. i went and talked to my psychiatrist and they told me to tell them everything that had happened in my life and i admitted i can barely remember anything from my childhood except for vague memories of playing with my siblings or screaming matches between my mother and someone else. and i still dont remember the second half of mine and my psychiatrist's conversation but according to her halfway through i went from talking calmly and clearly to having a completely different sitting position using a more childish vocabulary and just seeming very shy reserved nervous, according to my psychiatrist i told them about how my father was diagnosed with split personality disorder. she then in a later conversation told me what i said and i admitted to her that i have no recollection of the second half. she then diagnosed me with split personality disorder. i later moved away and got a new psychiatrist who started talking to me and looked at my file and told me that split personality disorder is just another term used for DID and she called my previous psychiatrist unprofessional for not telling me the actual term
I've been dealing with someone with DID, I met her online on a Role-playing forum. And it has been overwhelming, I feel like I'm the only person that understands her, and somethings it's too much for me. I want to help her, but I don't feel adequate to do it, and I don't want to harm her saying this to her. I hope I can do something for her, but I feel so powerless to help her. And it breaks my heart seeing her suffer sometimes, as she just wants to be normal...
Hey man I want you to know that you do not have to help her or encourage her own happiness. She is in charge of it and how she deals with it. If its too much for you, you tell her and set boundaries. Do not ever sacrifice your own happiness or mental state for anyone. Especially someone online.
You’re a wonderful person with a great heart. I think it’s important to reassure her that she is a “normal person” at the end of the day, but just needs to seek therapy in order to bring more positivity and understanding into her life.
I have DID. And as a survivor of abuse, I would NEVER want to put another person through anything even remotely similar. Using somebody as a therapist is emotionally abusive. If your friend needs therapy, she can get a therapist. That is not your job, nor should it be.
It's true that sometimes shit happens, like flashbacks, and she can't control that. My boyfriend and I openly discuss the things that we have been through, and it gets into very triggering topics sometimes. But both of us know that the other can stop the discussion immediately whenever needed. Boundaries are very, very, very important in our relationship, and they should be in yours as well (be the relationship romantic or otherwise).

It’s more like forever annoyed by other people in your brain
Yeahh, its kinda lonelier because only parts are receiving attention
@@thedeterminedchild7835 Hey don’t say that, sometimes when we fuse, we all get attention! Though, no you’re right. I sometimes wish they just existed with their own minds.
No, in our case at least, we are aware of each-other and communicate fine. It’s just that sometimes we meld quietly into one conglomerate, but other times disperse into individuals. It’s like Steven Universe, for lack of a better analogy; we can fuse into one person when needed, but also can disperse into individuals.
My wife of 8 years is going thru this right now and I am telling you that it is the hardest thing to witness and I feel so helpless and useless. She is no longer the same woman I married 8 years ago but every once in a while I get a glimpse of my wife and it brings me to my knees every time because I know she is there and she is trying so hard to fight her inner demons but she has no control over her thoughts or actions. It was an extremely fast progression. 3 months ago she was completely fine and all of a sudden she wasn’t herself anymore. If anyone has any advice please help me and especially my wife. We have 3 beautiful children and I need my wife back. Please help us.
Any Freemasonry in her family?
Ritual abuse ?
Your wife probably had trauma in her childhood that she hasn't talked to you about. That being said-- try to get her to go to a therapist so she can understand herself better. I feel that once she comes face to face with her trauma, she may be able to put "those other people" to rest. Obviously, you love your wife and family very much and I hope this suggestion helps. God be with you and your family.
I think i may have did so this helped a lot. I'm just afraid to talk to anyone about it cause i feel like they'd think i was like faking for attention :/
Be brave and careful about who you confide in.
I’ve been diagnosed and stigmatized with everything under the sun. Borderline Personality, autism, and ADHD have similar “you’re lazy or defiant or your tone is wrong get over it” stigma trauma. Learning about general trauma now and DID makes sense. I have no idea who exactly my alters are and I don’t need to know but there is definitely a crying baby a cute child and a teenager in there. And it’s so annoying when I’m just trying to be a working functional adult.

@@ricoparadiso what sin are they committing exactly? this is a bit distasteful to comment.
I swear my fiance has this, but when I talk to him about it, he doesnt seem interested in talking about it. I swear there are two of him. One personality is outgoing and friendly, and the other one is just plain, hardly any emotion, quiet, and dull. And he will remember certain things while being the one, and not while being the other and vice versa. He has also walked into a room, and told me he was scared because he said that he forgot where he was, why he was there, and didnt remember going into the room, and other similar things have happened as mentioned in the video. He had leukemia as a child, I think he was 5 or 6, and he claimed that he went through multiple painful procedures. He has also said this has caused him some PTSD. After watching this, I am convinced this is what he has. I have always wondered why or how he can remember certain things while being one personality, and now it makes sense.
We think that a clinical diagnosis is needed.
Stay strong you are strong
I have DID along with multiple major physical disabilities. I was abused, held captive, and trafficked for 43 years (not a typo). There’s at least one major inaccuracy in this video. The goal of therapy/treatment is generally NOT integration! This idea can be very harmful and cause more trauma to the system. The goal is usually to help the system develop internal awareness, communication, and cooperation. DID is actually not a disorder, it was a way of functioning and keeping memories and experiences separate so that the ANPs (Apparently Normal Parts) can function. For anyone wanting to learn more, I highly recommend the channel called the Rings System. They do an excellent job explaining DID both intellectually and from the inside - what it feels like to live with it. Like what does switching feel like, etc.
when i was younger (7 - 11) i knew someone from a place i went every summer. That meant i only saw him once a year. For the rest of the year every time i was alone i pretended i was him, i found clothes in google and saved them in my phone, i was talking to myself all the time thinking someone was there, making scenarios, i thought about his whole life and what he did every day and i was doing them to in my head and also moving and pretending i was where he is. I thought i was him. When i was 12 i was watching a show and i pretended i was an actor from a tv show but i was different. I created a face and i thought every little detail about his life, i did a research of movies from specific years and genres and i decided in what movies he would be in and what character he was playing. I created all his friends, family, co workers, everything. I also talk to myself and i think someone's there like an interviwer and i imagine them too realistic i think i actually see them. I talk to myself and feel like a different person 24/7. I also made an instagram account and post pictures with people that look like him (it's private and i don't accept anyone so only i see them) I feel i am him my entire life but sometimes i switch and i am my "real" self. It only happens when i am alone, sometimes i know i switch sometimes not. Does anybody knows what this is
I am a confused searcher myself, but I have seen a few videos on autism and it might be you’re masking. Just MIGHT. Maybe check it out for yourself. Good luck!

And you can't develop DID in adulthood or after the brain has developed. There are a few things that are very wrong in this video and that doesn't help at all. I'm sure whoever made this meant well but misinformation is harmful.

@@willowxoox would you mind sharing a source or link that I can read that supports your claim?
sometimes i feel like i separate from myself and can't feel myself...feel..its like the whole world doesn't make sense and nothing seems real...is that DID?
no, this is different..what you’re going through is derealization/ dissociation which are usually a sub symptom of high anxiety
@@vernsykins oh...I can see that...
thank you for caring
Sometimes I wonder if I suffer from this disorder.I can be a kind and generous person, but if the circumstances are right for the beast to come out, it will show itself. I remember as a small child, between the age of 3 to 6 (yes my memory goes all the way back to the age of 2, when my mom used to bathe me) holding conversation between me and my other me. One of them was Milly and the other part of me was Getyl. Milly was the most feminine side, week and belittled by Getyl, who was always beating up Milly, to the point that Getyl became the predominant side of me. I used to kill animals on my farm just for fun, the worst part wasn't that I killed them, more often than not I'd torture them. I stopped doing that when I turned 14 and moved to high school, where I would stay from Monday to Sturday. With time I turned a bit more mellow, but like I said above, if the grounds are right for Getyl to come out, he will and the consequences are always the same: my relationships end and I wind up being alon and forgotten.
This is a very good description!! I pray and hope you will talk to a caring therapist-- please give one a try!! Blessings!!
@@gerahuey3706 Thank you, but after all I think I'll never see a shrink for two reasons: I know my flaws and where they are rooted. Also, there's no cure for it.
@@tuscanland I hear you-- I'm glad you went back to the root and that you see and know what's happening!!
i think I fall in this categories, multiple trauma in childhood are the cause we become dissociated and having another character inside ....
especially the hallucinations, "they" are talking each other inside my head, i always lost in thoughts process and analyze, and i lost myself in my head .....
Outdated information...why do you give this information when you dont have the current believes and understanding of DID

@@TheKlutz31013 most of the information is still very valid, however I think the issue probably stems from some of the terms used most likely for the sake of brevity. If you're interested in finding out more I would recommend looking at the CTAD clinic videos.

Thank you so much for this video! Its very factual I appreciate it so much as someone with this disorder
Thankyou for this i have a freind with this disorder and this helps me understand her better
Its all good, but the part of reconstrution can be a toxic belief, which can lead to even further trauma for the person. Its not recommended by International Society for the Study of Dissociation in their Guidelines for Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder in Adults.
Who else went here because of Moon Knight? :D
Mark Spector Steven grant boy moonknight is great
Hi please could you make a video explaining the differences of DID, CPTSD and BPD. Regarding Dissociation symptoms, PTSD symptoms, emotional regulation. As these diagnosis have great amounts of over lap between the 3 while also being completely separate diagnosis in how the brain with each separate dissorder will be connected.
who else is here after moon knight ?
I’m here because of a content creator I use to watch found out that they where DID
Sad that so many people decided to fake this serious disorder for attention

I have multiple sclerosis and since a child I experimented so many dreams and experiences. When I was diagnosed on 2004, I thought that maybe part of those dreams were explained by the condition. After almost 20 years, my brain have suffered many lesions now with scars. Part of those damaged areas are frontal lobe, amígdalas, cerebellum and many other parts of my brain. I was on therapy for a while but more than anxiety, depression and other things, nobody found. I’m still experiencing things but more at an spiritual level. I confess it will be always a doubt about the real source of my dreams and thoughts 💭 Many doctors has said to me that everything seems to be alright. On 2013 I experiences alucinaciones for the first time in my life, as a result of an acute exacerbation of MS. Now I’m very stable since 2014, and really good. Thanks for sharing your experiences. 🫂 blessings
I have a question are the hallucinations outside of anyone’s head or more like happening inside your imagination but your mind gets so caught up in it that it can’t differ the images in your head so you start to react physically to it. I’d have moments where I’d have conversations with people in my head I didn’t see them outside of my vision but it’s like subconscious personification. It’s so weird.
following- interested in any responses.
This happens to me. Every night. I’ve never told anyone because I feel ashamed like I’m weird or something but it’s so strong. It’s not until recently I’ve realized that I developed this as a safety net for myself. I experienced emotional, psychological and verbal abuse as a child and I created this imaginary person who became whoever I liked at the time or felt safe with. I create characters and name them. I do this every night before bed. I’ve done this since a very very young child.

I feel like this isn't me, yet through out my days I feel like I'm constantly putting a mask on and changing it through it multiple times a day. Like I see the crap that's going on or being said yet I can't really stop it until its to late...
responding just to possibly help.. but this sounds similar to what I experienced with ADHD. I just got medication in December and it has helped a lot. The analogy i've been using is that it feels like Im both George and Lenny from Of Mice & Men. The ADHD part of me being Lenny who is a people pleaser and speaks without a filter, and then the George of my brain that reflects on my actions and thinks "why would you say/do that?"
There's a common coping mechanism with ADHD called "masking" where we learn the rules of neurotypical people and are able to pretend so that we can fit in. For me, my masking meant staying mostly quiet as much as I could control it and having what I called a "script" of lines I needed to say if someone would start conversation with me (because I knew that those lines wouldn't get me in trouble). Im about to be 25yo, and i developed these mechanisms before learning about ADHD. Hope this helps in anyway.

It's interesting to fully understand this topic not that this video alone does it I've watched a few things now but it's interesting
I remember I mostly started looking into this because I was legitimately worried about my mental health because I had exhibited some of the symptoms of this topic but I can safely say that I do not have DID
I hope that everyone that does have it ends up in a situation that can help them grow better because I can understand this is definitely a scary topic the popularized version that TV shows and movies use definitely doesn't describe half of the terror that's actually in the subject not that I'm scolding them because it still makes for a good story prompt but all in all I just hope that the best comes for anyone who actually does have to suffer with this
Thank you
yes but pleas remember that it is important to add D.I.D stems from trauma and can also be ODD .
Hi. My friend has DID but I see that other people have very good relationships with their alters but my friend doesn't. They almost never interact with each other and they only do if something terrible hapoens. His alter is named Axel and I'm concerned he might hurt my friend or his loved ones. Axel is always mad and he often tells my friend to isolate and push everyone away and has said some hurtful things to me, but I know is not my friend who's saying all those things so I don't let it get to me. I don't know if I should advice him to try and have a better relationship with Axel oranything else. I don't know what to do. If any one could help me, I would be very greatful!
I have the same problem with a friend i am trying to help her and i ask for help here to people that are going tru this and nobody cares
We can tell you what works for our system
@@JoseLopez-bs1wj - Sometimes we are late, can't view every vid, but we are here now
In therapy, it is the system's decision on whether or not their end goal is complete system integration (Fusing to 1 personality). Another end goal is to improve communication and to resolve trauma. Integration is not what everyone chooses.
All I remember is my family was very toxic & my little brain pulled in the back of its mind, idk how, but after a lot of traumatic things that I caused on myself, or that was preyed on me ig, idk I just fell in love, I broke him & I, I ended up taking acid at 16 & once I turned 17 it was like my whole world split back into place, but I panicked & dove into traumas & pain to keep secure. I got diagnosed with BPD, but that disorder doesn’t make sense to me sometimes, it seems like the BPD traits are other disorders, that the person just can’t ever be aware of, or they can try, but it might hurt too much, cause it does. I also think narcissism is so done, it’s in everyone, simply a narc would just be a mean person who doesn’t care what they do to others. People would think DID is a Narcissist for needing to feel special to the self in whatever way your brain hopes for you, but that’s the thing, it’s not for others or to hate others, it’s for the self, I mean yes it is a self centered trait, but like every person, we all have those. I just feel a “narcissist” or “BPD” is a response mechanism to just hide part of yourself that you don’t know, so it comes off as a little “messy” but if they just healed they would realize they have a whole different life to live & care for, they need different needs for themselves, they are just hurting themselves to maintain society, just like we do when we shut down in our soul & switch at moments without realizing or sometimes knowing, that’s what fucks with my head. That was a very random topic I went off on, but I just think those 2 disorders have been used in harmful ways,I just feel sometimes it manifest the people into accepting that’s them based off others very strong opinions, especially if you are used to being a sheep at times to please others because you can’t be “different” as if we want this feeling…. It’s not special different, it’s just different. It just feels like with dissociating so much, you are always in a constant void, & then poof you come back again
This is my experience, just after looking into so much, I can’t see BPD ever helping, the traits just make you think about what you can’t do atm, which fucks you up more, love, self love, happiness, communication is all learned, so once I went into like OCD, bi polar, & DID, autism , even sociopathic/anti social disorder, I just feel those traits & therapy methods help so much more, than looking into the other two, the other two just creates more insecurities with the self, which is the last thing they need, idk this is all kind of a messy opinion, idk if anyone else relates at all, or agrees feel free to reply
Or even if you want to share your opinion, I’m open to hearing
Can you have an out-of-body experience in dreams? Because I tend to see myself in 3rd person.
That's called dreaming
@@TheHorseOutside My question mustve seemed dumb so thanks for answering 👍
Your question wasn't dumb. It was answered by a smartass is all. The type of dreaming (out of body) you're talking about is called Lucid Dreaming. There's tons of info out there. Do you also experience Sleep paralysis? It's basically when your brain somewhat wakes up before the rest of your body. You can see and hear but cannot move. Sometimes these episodes are accompanied by hypnogotic hallucinations. I personally experience SPE( sleep paralysis episodes) at least 3-7 times a month. I've also had lucid dreams(mostly whenever I'm staying in a strange place for the night..ie. hotel, condo, etc) where I've left my body and roam about the room or condo but as soon as I look back at my body, I am instantly returned to my body when then sometimes goes into a SPE.
@@Flamerider68 lucid dreaming is when you know you're dreaming. Third person dreaming is just dreaming
@@Flamerider68 u r getting sleeping paralysis attack by familiar spirits. Familiar spirits are family spirits that entered family bloodline due to family taking their help thru witchcraft ,occult, new age practices, free masonry, idolatry
You know how I deal with this, I just convince myself that I don't have money for undergoing this treatment. And after a while I be okay
I’d recommend to still seek help
💀
Anyone with DID. I highly recommend, magic mushrooms. I can't explain it all. But if you're aware of your other half/halves, and you're having a hard time piecing it together. Have a deep talk with your otherself/selves, and make a pact to join each other. Once you do, eat the magic mushrooms, and have a deep talk.
My friend was just diagnosed with D.I.D, I'm trying to figure out how to act bc apparently one of his alters hates everyone, i don't know how to tell who is who
Tiktokers who fake did or claim to have DID without a doctor's diagnosis should see this.
ive seen so much misinformation about this that i wanted to look into it myself
When you know yourself then you have more idea about your weaknesses and strengths that are affecting your behavior!
Church is really important in controlling behaviors! It can inspire you in a positive and manipulative manner
A DID system is constructed over a period of time by the fragmented parts(alters, littles, etc.) and they operate to destroy or heal the host depending on their programming. Many times some replace the host at times, or all the time.
For the love of fuck. If you know someone with DID please do not assume we want “fusion therapy” that is literally the most horrible form of treatment. Most of us don’t need or WANT to integrate.
or you could admit that you're too ignorant to get over it

Somebody said that final fusion of the self is dangerous, yes. I've given up even trying to put myself into one self.
Hey this is great! But it’s know that fully-integration isn’t possible! grown adults even in their old age that have been fully integrated are known to form alters even after long time treatment! It’s not Necessarily a good thing to integrate all the time and even if you did fully integrate the person would still form alters later on as it’s a life-long disorder that can’t be ‘fixed’
Wrong. Did is CAUSED only before the age of 9. It CANNOT form after that. It may lay dormant for many years and only present later in life sometimes. But it forms in early childhood
Who’s the authority who says that?How did they decide that? Because my adult 28 yo self is now having constant identity disruptions and personality changes after experiencing prolonged trauma only in adulthood.
So traumatic experiences concluding to DID only happens to children and adults aren’t as valid?
I came here by watching split and glass ,just doing a research about Kevin disorder !
did is so rare it is only in 1% of the global population . so how some most people on here think they have it .
1% of it is diagnosed. 1-2% of people are gingers so it’s as common as gingers. Plus a lot of people can’t get diagnosed and some people have OSDD so that has to be taken to account too.

I'm just dumb.
I've been researching on this disorder but have yet to find even a single reasonable explanation of change in physical orientation like strength, sicknesses, allergies, eyesight and what not.
Is it that they haven't figured out how and thus no explanation of that it's just not on internet
Reply to this comment for more information on this and we will try to answer your question
Okay. At the beginning of the video you say "the usual self" when I think you MEANT to say host. At the end of the video you said, "ensure safety for the individual and integrate". We are NOT an individual and NO ONE gets to tell us to integrate. Why is there such bad information in this video?
I have a question for either of you, because I am a therapist and I rarely see this disorder, but I have a client now in my groups who I believe has it. When you say you don't want to integrate, is that the protective personality speaking? The quiet, protected and vulnerable personality, does he or she want to integrate, or come out more? Thanks.
@@tracytre38 Hi! I hope it's okay that we answer.
1. Not every system has a protector or an alter that is protective. Most do but not all. Same goes for a vulnerable alter.
2. The term personality is outdated. We are alters or identities. Just people who happen to have the same body.
3. Integration is a touchy subject for most systems. It feels like, for us, that people are asking to give up our identity, livelihood, and ourselves to better fit a singlet's idea of "normal". Of course, different alters may have different opinions but usually integration is not a goal. If it is, that's great. It's just not the average consensus.
4. Also, just wanted to let you know that I am speaking on the behalf of my system, as the host.

As someone with DID, I never understand the push to reconnect the different personalities. It seems illogical
"The heart is dectefully wicked, who can know it"
can personalities know what the others are doing, like is someone is talking about games with one persona can the other persona's know whats happening?
Having a job that is the complete opposite of who you are I feel like can trigger this... Jobs that make you speak a certain way and behave a certain way
I'm here for my friend...she chose this topic for her thesis
I have no trauma…no trauma that I know of…? But I’ve been experiencing heavy derealization, dissociation and extreme numbness to the world. I have no clue why I have been feeling this way, although I have suspicions. And recently I have been noticing a lot of forgetfulness and personality switches, although I am in my teens so that can be expected. I have no clue if I have DID because of the missing puzzle piece of having trauma. Does having severe anxiety as a kid count??
Idk how to ask this question but like , do you play along ? Like example if they think they work for the government and are at war or something like. Do you convince them it’s not real? Like there’s anger associated when you tell them it’s not. I hope I asked that correctly?
That would be different to each individual patient to determine what the most healthy thing to do is. It’s similar to schizophrenic delusions, sometimes it is better for the therapist to go along with the delusion to prevent more distress and sometimes it is better to “break” the delusion, depending on what the therapist thinks will cause the best outcome for treatment.
If you are NOT someone’s therapist and they are experiencing delusions it is not a good idea to correct them because you can do a lot of harm.
