Many of the symptoms mentioned in this video, I began to experience them when PTSD came about. Prior to PTSD I never felt there was anything wrong with myself except for some times when I felt out of place within society. For me DID is a place of refuge when dissociating. I feel alive when dissociating. My alters to describe are a band of brothers who work in harmony.
Its one broken personality/person, not multiple people in one body. Its multiple versions. As much to some hosts' dismay, the alters are another version of them supressed.
I’m so sorry to hear that, and understand your hesitation. I hope one day you will find the courage to look for a therapist who can help you - more and more therapists know how to help nowadays. When I searched for a therapist, I contacted at least 10 therapist offices to ask if they were experienced in treating dissociative disorders. (And even after doing so, it was scary to actually start talking about my experiences…). - Anne Lagemaat (project leader ‘DIS is me’)
This is a good explanation but unfortunately it misses a huge part of the disorder, the “identity” part. One of the key concepts of DID is the lack of a unique self, there is more than one identity in the body. “Kim” doesn’t feel like she’s a 3 yo sometimes, that’s someone else in the body who probably has a different name and maybe even gender. “Kim” doesn’t fantasize that she’s as strong as her uncle, one of the identities was based on her abuser. It’s a good try tho, just wish it hadn’t missed this important point.
Thank you for describing and emphasizing this important aspect of DID. We do realize the video gives a very simplified explanation. We appreciate your comment greatly.
Thank you for your reaction. My name is Anne, I am the project leader of this Dutch project and I have DID myself. In the project we (a small team of pple with DID) collected the personal experiences of more than 100 people with DID and their loved ones. The material (like this video) we made is based on experiences of people living with DID. Nevertheless, each individual has their own experience with DID - how it started, the ways DID effects their day to day live and how they deal with it. I hope this helps, throughout the project (still in translation at this point) we emphasized that everyone’s personal experience counts and is valid.
I am sorry to hear it came across that way, it’s not in any way meant to be funny. We (project volunteers with DID) have tried to find a way to explain DID to the public. In the (Dutch) project ‘DIS is me’ over 70 people with DID and their loved ones share their personal experience with DID (DIS is the Dutch abbreviation). The project material is being translated into English, a summary in English is provided at: www.dis-is-me.nl/English - Anne Lagemaat, project manager

Thank you for sharing these personal experiences on here!
This is very well explained
excellent video, thank you!!!
THANK FOR EXPLANATION
well explained
I feel like it is important to address that people with DID are not one people. There are multiple alters in one body
No we aren’t. We are one person experiencing fragmented thoughts/identity. Stop spreading misinformation.
Yes, me and my alters are in one body. We are different people, very much
@@shell2932 Every one is difference, if that is how you experience it that way, good. I experience it a different way.

This isn't complete. There's much more that could be said.
Totally agree, there is much, much more to it. This is just a snippet of the whole picture, for example to start a conversation.

Excuse me? In a nutshell is explained funny from a depressing story

I think it's trying to highlight that fact that having DID isn't a death sentence
