You are so far off that itâs insulting but your attempt is admirable. You want to know why you havenât met but 2 patients that have DID? Itâs because medical professionals arenât trained properly. If you truly want to help learn about Dissociative Identity Disorder Iâd be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have. Itâs important to learn from someone who actually has DID & understands their gift & abilities as thatâs truly what it is. No one individual person could have sustained everything that we have lived through & survived.
I highly recommend that you sit down with someone who has been diagnosed with DID. Ask them questions. Ask them for recommendations on educating others before you continue to make more videos. Itâs like trying to ask your husband to explain the pains of child bearing. They can read up on it but unless youâve experienced it for yourself you canât tell people what itâs really like.
You are such an important person & asset to this topic but thereâs not enough information being taught about everything that it encompasses to give you the true reality of this issue. My littles will never grow up, my male counterparts will never be able to join the military, get married & have children of their own. We have alters that speak fluent languages that others do not.
People need to understand that people with DID are extremely, extremely intelligent. Not everyone who has DID should or will integrate. Especially when they are being misdiagnosed as being bipolar or the state they live in only has 2 specialists that treat people with DID. Or others that donât take insurance. Itâs frustrating.
We are able to communicate in ways & have specific alters that are somehow designated to hold various functions. Some hold traumas, some are caretakers, some protectors, some of us have multiple upon multiples of health problems while others donât. You can have individual people within us that have seizure disorders, are legally blind or test positive for diabetes while others show no signs of any condition. Many of us feel every pain physically & mentally that weâve ever experienced. As all of us that are younger than our biological age are somewhat flash frozen in time able to accurately account vivid & specific details that others may not know because they werenât there. Itâs not that one person forgot, itâs another person took over during a part of that time that others have yet to be privy to.
There are specific words that you want to refrain from as it can be very very misleading. Donât compare people who are blessed enough to have DID to what others see in the movies.
DID is only caused by severe severe trauma prior to the age of 6. This can be from wars, natural disasters, but more often itâs from severe on going abuse as a child usually sexually & physically. Everyone is dissociated at one time or another, especially before the age of 6 because each one of us has not formed as an individual person until that age. We are still learning who we are up until this age.
I worked in the medical field for 23 years & not one medical professional that worked with me or had ever examined me despite my diagnosis at age 9. Everyone knew that I went by 4 different names all throughout my life until the abuse & trauma became so severe that we went into Shell Shock. We currently have 5 alters that are in Shell Shock. We have some that have epilepsy, hearing & vision issues, speech impediments,
I am currently part of a 177 individual family members that Iâm a wear of. We believe that we have 1,000s as we are rapidly counting.
None of us look exactly a like. We look like relatives yes but each one of us has different smiles, facial expressions, different voices, interests, writing⌠we have attended 3 different universities & a community college. We have been educators, politicians, EMTs, artists, singers, athletes, models & are looking forward to earning a double major in law & psychology so that we can change laws & educate others from teachers, medical professionals, counselors, 1sr responders, legislators & so on.
Weâve yet to read or see a documentary on anyone with DID that has as many co-morbidities as we do. We have reached out to 100âs of people & someday hope to reach millions across the globe to truly try to help in ways that you could never imagine. Best of luck to you in your journey of educating yourself & others about a diagnosis that has been around since 1811. Thatâs 212 years & still modern science has no idea about it because of all of the sadistic treatments, exorcisms & other ways that were used to treat people like us.
Has anyone ever bothered to think of what an individualâs IQ actually is collectively dependent on how many alters they have the numbers could be unbelievable. But instead people insult us, think we are on drugs. Possessed or evil just like in how people like us are depicted in movies.
As you can see we are taking turns making comments. Often referring to switching but weâre not. Itâs just that at least 5 of us are co-fronting & are trying to get our points across to the best of our abilities simultaneously. Our brain works so much faster than anyone of us could ever be able to describe. Maybe someday after we pass on, scientists will be better able to understand this gift that we have. Although I believe they already know quite a bit about it being that there have been studies in scientists creating DID in people.
Best wishes hope this is of some help. You may also want to watch the documentary on Jeni Haynes I believe is her last name. Sheâs a woman with 2,500 personalities. Although I donât believe any of them or anyone else that weâve been able to research have the amount of co-morbidities that we do sadly. Thatâs why we are advocating for stricter laws so this doesnât continue to happen to more children. May God Bless you & the good work you are trying to accomplish đ
Thank you for your input on this topic!
I am professionally diagnosed by 3 trauma and Dissociative specialists and thank you for writing this lengthy comment, it is important.
I am glad you are speaking out too, I am so tired of these professionals spouting off their crap about what they think they know. They don't know anything about DID. I had a lot of personalities, they looked different, had different names and accents. My mother took me to a psychologist when I was three years old because I was talking to my quote "invisible friends" I wasn't diagnosed with DID until I was in my 40's. So sad I had to wait that many years!!! I finally met a professional that didn't believe it was rare and the healing began, my parts finally had someone that believed that it isn't rare, I lived through hell on earth when growing up, then lived through some more hell because of ignorance in the professionals. Now I help the people with DID.
What would you do? For 48 years we were raped, abused & traumatized in ways you canât imagine. We cried uncontrollably when we found out that we had been diagnosed at age 9 & that our abuser knew about our diagnosis so he could continue to take advantage of us for almost 1/2 a century. We arenât the only ones that he has done this too. Just the ones that he did it the longest to. Now we have 2,168 alters that I know of.
Some of us that worked in the medical field, others for the senate & some were educators.
Weâve called hospital CEOâs, Universities trying to educate people about DID; but there is a lack of understanding, denial, little to no interest or is to complex or a waste of time to understand. Which is a disservice because people who have DID are brilliant.
Sorry weâre switching a lot right now so this may not make sense. I donât feel brilliant. I feel stupid that I let this happen to me & others, just because he made us spell our names differently even though they were pronounced somewhat the same but I suffered hearing damage from the abuse so the pronunciation of my name spelling sounds different from that of others in my system ie ending our names in I, Y, IE & so on.
Being that weâve worked for 3 out of 4 of the hospitals that we too have been patients in after we went into shell shock. They didnât know if we had Parkinsonâs, autoimmune diseases or something else. So they each recommended that we go out of state. An intern at that hospital told us that we were in Shell shock but not one of the five hospitals ever told law enforcement that we had been raped despite us telling them & making reports to hospital security because they all thought we were trying to seek drugs being that we had a pain contract. We had even called the FBI repeatedly telling them about how all the rapes took place in 4 different states. How we witnessed him raping others including children.
In certain states if your abuser denies raping you, despite the evidence, law enforcement wonât even bring them in for questioning. We even have videos of him grooming children for his own sick satisfactions. But it doesnât matter because there are no laws against child predators grooming children. I donât mean doing their hair either.
Myself & others in our beautiful system have been trying to educate so many. We speak publicly to try to educate as many people as possible about DID & bring attention to our case as we publicly address law enforcement agencies, district attorneys, state senators & representatives. Weâve made calls to Governors offices & legislators in multiple states, as well as the vice president & president of the United States.
I have lost faith in everyone. If only one teacher had listened, one neighbor called the police, one priest would have counseled me rather than say you need to honor thy fatherâŚđđ
If youâre wondering no heâs not in prison.
I'm so sorry for the immense pain you've endured. Your strength and resilience in trying to educate others about DID is truly inspiring. Please continue advocating and consider seeking professional support to navigate this journey.
Hey Dr B! Do you find that unlike schizophrenic disorders, individuals recovery from DID with treatment?
True DID is very rare and very difficult to treat
DID treatment is a lengthy phase oriented treatment. The process of fusion between alters is not always the answer, some individuals with DID would rather wish to reach functional multiplicity with increased communicated between alters with little amnesiac barriers. But it is in its nature a trauma diagnosis and it forms due to severe trauma so a phase oriented trauma treatment is the way to go :)
