    This was enlightening. When Scarlett said alters aren't hallucinations, so it's not something that can be validated, rather, they are parts of that person. So not validating an alter would be like not validating the person. Good way to put it.

    It is so lovely to hear you both speak. I have worked with teenage girls with similar experiences and the essence of their alters seemed to be to protect themselves at their most vulnerable. DID is not classified as a mental illness. It is described as a highly adaptive skill that occurs in childhood to protect developing personalities from repeated trauma. God bless the brain because we are obviously not protecting our babies well enough. Bless you both and may you experience happiness.

      @@hi-ve1cw I'd argue that's the case of every 'disorder'. They all grow out of what could be healthy coping mechanisms that go wonky. The fix should be making them functional as possible, so in DID it could be helping communication and reducing anmesia between alters (not getting rid of them all unless they want to fuse).
      Same with many other conditions. They all come from normal, potentially healthy systems and functions we all have but sometimes they go awry. (Good example is psychosis, everyone gets hallucinations but most of them aren't pathological, it's only a disorder when it's causing problems. So none-pathological hallcinations can be migraine aura, seeing shadows when falling asleep or hearing someone say your name as you're falling asleep. Stuff like that.)

    Speaking as someone who has never lived, or known anyone with D.I.D., I learned something watching this video. Prior, I had a jaded, but ultimately harmless perception that every separate individual in a “person’s” system is spectrum of good or evil. I think this originated from the way media portrays “multiple personality disorder”. I’m very happy to have watched this, because it helped me, and hopefully others, realize that these systems can be full of good hearted people. Wonderful interview.

It took me personally 20 years to become aware of the others whereas they had all known about one another for a long time. All the other diagnoses that I got during the time that I was fronting and seeking mental health care just couldn't seem to explain everything I experienced. I just felt like mental healthcare was not helping me. Once I personally realized all my headmates were in here it finally made sense what I was experiencing, and I am finally getting treatment to help deal with it all and to work together.

    I have a childhood friend with DID. I reconnected with her several years back, but lost contact. I found out from her brother that she was in an institution. I have struggled with whether or not to try and contact her. I’m concerned that because we were friends when she was experiencing the trauma that caused her to have alters, that it might upset her system. Sigh. It is so sad to me that she hasn’t experienced what you guys have long term. Her second husband seemed to be such a rock for her, but they divorced and then she ended up in the institution. That made me so sad for her. I want her to be happy. I’m still so pissed that she had to go through the stuff she went through as a child and ended up not being able to manage as these folks have. I truly hope that she is able to find balance with her alters and live life in a better place. She still has many more years on this earth and I know that it is possible!

      Research "persecutor alteres". Persecutors are usally based off of the abuser. Persecutor alters tend to be harmful to the host, other alters in the headspace and towards other people as well. I have a persecutor alter as well and he likes to co-host a lot of the time. My persecutor alter is the semi-exact same as what your friend is dealing with. Dealing with persecutor alters can be stressful since they can force other alters to front, and be verbally abusive towards your loved ones and friends. Persecutor alters forcing the other alters to front can be really harmful to you and the alters. I've dealt with it before a lot of tne times. Apologising A LOT for harm you didnt do can be tiring, well, for me. He usally fronts when i am over stressed and when a argument is happening, trying to push the person away from me, so they can leave me alone. He tries his best to push people out of my life so i can live with out stress of overthinking that the person is going to leave me. Its hard dealing with him, and just persecutors in general. I wish your friend the best.

      Hey there, just to clear up something. With OSDD1/DID there is no core personality because long term trauma causes dissociative walls and amnesiac barriers to form between ego states. So you can't find a core because one was never able to form. This is one of the key differences in DID and PTSD. In PTSD/CPTSD there's enough of a gap between the trauma event(s) to allow the ego states to fuse into a single Personality. A traumatized person but still a person with a single, whole personality.

      It kind of feels like it sometimes, but I don't know technically speaking. I have some alters who seem to have the symptoms of BPD but others who do not. I also have some who are very socially fearful and would probably be considered to have an anxiety disorder if they were out front more often in our life. Some of us are very paranoid about things while others are not... but I don't really know if that would be considered each of us having different diagnosis. I have also been diagnosed with bipolar, and I know some alters come out front during manic episodes, but we all experience the manic episode, it's just some of us enjoy being manic a lot and I guess they want to be out front during it more than others.

Each altar is completely different with a completely different personality I also have healthy personality Alters that didn't experience as much trauma. The altars that experience more trauma are more likely to have other disorders the ones that did not experience any trauma you know decently normal people I have a few of them they come out usually when I'm out and about with my friends to kind of help me keep confident and bubbly with them so I don't crumble.

      basically when childhood trauma takes place some people get amnesia and dissociations to keep their mind coping with said trauma and avoiding having to cope with it again. eventually the amnesia happens enough that the side of the person that remembers certain things and the other side that remembers other things have completely different life experiences and grow into their own beings with their own mental traits. it all sorta just expands from there if that makes sense.

    Some of these comments are disappointing, if you don't believe it's real, either try to learn about it or don't bother commenting invalidating and quite mean comments. DID systems have gone through enough. They said it themselves in the video the stigma is one of the hardest things they go through so maybe try avoid adding to it in the comments? You're not all doctors and even if you are your not theirs so be kind or say nothing.

    Question : if our brain creates this illness how can it not heal itself & get rid of the alters and be their self as one? Or is it irreversible? Like if we’re creating it, can’t we do the same control to make it go away?! The brain is so strong to see another person inside of us, then how how they not use that power to make them go away or “shut down.”
    Also next question: do ppl want to keep their several identities or do they want to be one? And If not, wouldn’t it be just like any other mental illness that ppl are ignoring to get help ? Like having therapy etc etc to help cognitively being aware & be one! Undo the trauma. Like getting trauma-therapy.
    Why are there so many ppl with DID and not getting it to go away ?
    These are serious questions -- no jackass responses

    • @peachsystem1024
      @peachsystem1024 Před rokem +4

      DID develops when you are very young and that is how your brain develops. Like if you look at a scan of a “normal” brain and a DID brain, you would see differences in certain parts. You can’t just make those parts better or different magically. Healing from DID means healing from years and years of trauma, often abuse. That is not an easy thing to do. And even when you are healing from that trauma, your brain has used dissociation to the point of having more than one identity, along with having amnesia, and you have lived most your life that way. It’s very hard to change that because it doesn’t happen on purpose. People can eventually become “one identity” instead of several but it’s not only difficult, it takes a long time and it’s not a guarantee because if you experience trauma again you could very easily split a new alter since that’s been your brains coping mechanism for so long. Hope this was a helpful explanation

    Left untreated, DID can last a lifetime. While treatment for DID may take several years, it is effective. Persons with DID may find that they are better able to handle the symptoms in middle adulthood. Stress, substance abuse, and sometimes anger can cause a relapse of symptoms at any time. As a clinical psychologist, I'm interested in finding out what treatment you're both in..There are several different types of dissociative disorder.
    The 3 main types are:
    depersonalisation-derealisation disorder
    dissociative amnesia
    dissociative identity disorder .... I haven't heard which one you both have.. id appreciate any information thank you.. We are trying to learn more constantly as there are so many misconceptions surrounding DID,so we need to find out more so we can continue research.. Thank you both.... This reminds me of stigma surrounding schizophrenia too.. do many people who aren't educated seem to think people with schizophrenia are dangerous.. Absolutely not true in regards to other people.. maybe towards themselves.. Schizophrenia is the biggest under researched, under funded of ALL disorders.. I absolutely love this channel..I learn every day and the more we know, the more people can be helped.

It may be rare but we will find each other look at how many other Chris videos he's done with people with rare conditions and then they meet other people with the same conditions through social media so they can meet up and have someone who understands them. I've never met another person with dissociative identity disorder in person but definitely have talked to many online social media watching videos on CZcams like this.

      It takes a LOT of work to get to this point. This is where a lot of folks living with DID aim to get to. Functional multiplicity is a way of healing with DID, without the need to attempt to fuse/combine your selves. It takes YEARS of figuring out how to communicate. I promise you, those living with DID are aware something is going on - it just takes a very long time to eliminate every other possibility (physical and mental tests/attempts/medical providers). Example: I have found myself 3hrs away from my house at about 1am on a work night just driving alone in a town I don't know anyone in. I'm usually in bed by 9pm. Did that alter know it was because another part drove them there? No - but they definitely knew something was happening when they had no idea what they were doing or why they were there. Yesterday, I found myself in the shower 3 times. Why? No clue. It took me almost 30yrs to figure out what exactly it was, and I'm going on another 7 still working on learning to communicate with my parts. Are there fakers out there? Of course- just like everything else. But, this diagnosis is 100% real, and has a HUGE impact on every single part of your life for those who live with it.
