@@mavviemavvers3760This is great dinner theater lol. Look, I’m not saying that past trauma can’t have an impact on a person, or that this isn’t a thing. But, the filmed "switches" between alts is just all very sus.
I remember how Chloe wanted this channel to be strictly informational: and now, allowing yourselves to share a bit of your personhood with us has lead to this channel being even more helpful for all the systems out there. Thank you for being brave enough to share this.
"you big babies cmon" caught me off guard LMAO. Honestly, seeing your face from 2 years ago compared to now, I was like wow they really have healed a shit ton... So proud of you
@@DissociaDID You probably get comments like the one above me more than we (viewers) realize, I hope you don't let them get to you. I would've said I hope they stop, but people like them will always be there unfortunately, just keep your chin up /srs
Jason used your method a few days ago. He was frontstuck for a while, and he got pretty badly triggered. He went through the steps and managed to keep himself from having a flashback. Thank you so much for posting about this. It’s really helped us. -Murdock
Hi, im really interested in learning more about DID, im still very naive about much of the terminology. Will you be able to teach me what frontstuck means?
@@skyraven9079 as far a s I know it means the alter currently in the front can't switch out even if it would be better in that moment to keep the body from getting triggered or something along the line of that. DissociaDID was stuck on time with a little in front when they were in Disneyland and that could have gone very wrong if they hadn't had someone to look after them.
“It’s not fair, we’re tired” I felt that in my soul being so fed up with having pain to deal with that wasn’t your doing that your frustrated you can’t just forget
@@callanightshade8079lol I’m trying to watch this with a straight face but wow. This is dinner theater basically. 😂 Kyle became Kylie became Cala. lol Suuuure.
I would love to hear you guys talk about integration and fusion and how your views on it have changed. I remember Chloe and Nin talking about being scared of it, while Kya describing Nin and Kyle’s fusion with such beautiful language.
@@DissociaDID I'm absolutely terrified of integration, as are my others. It's even becoming harder to talk to professionals for fear that they just want to get rid of us for good. I'd be beyond grateful if you did a video about that ❤❤❤
I love how Kyle was able to take control of the situation and told everyone to stop panicking at then end❤ Sometimes that is needed. You sometimes need someone to tell you "come on now, get up and get going, it's ok!". I also laughed when he said "big babies"😂 (not at him or you guys panicking but at his attitude and determination to get up) as you said it was brutal but as i said that attitude is needed sometimes.❤ I Love Kyle (and Kya)🥰
It certain situations it can help 😅 it's a bit like splashing cold water on your face, makes for a quick change of state, especially when it's out the blue like that 😂 At least Nin had done some excellent processing of what they were feeling first, it wasn't how most people use those statements to ignore, deny or avoid what they're feeling ❤
My mom does this to me when I have a panic attack. She'll coddle me for a bit, but eventually it turns into, "Alright, now you need to be the strong person I know you are and get back on track." She uses phrases like Kyle did, but mostly to just try to get me to laugh. Once I can focus on another emotion that's not despair and panic, I can come out of it easier. I've started saying things like that to myself too when I'm dealing with them on my own 😂
I really felt Kyle in this video. I don’t really know why but I felt him more than usual. I’m glad you’ve all healed so much despite having to start over
I have Complex ptsd and your videos about this stuff has helped me come to terms with some of my own issues. Ive gotten very good at just dissociating away from hard emotions and just supressing them. And this practice of just naming the emotion has been a HUGE step for me.
I never comment on videos and I don't really know if anyone will see this but having just spent the whole of the past 24hrs panicking in different states and having no idea why I was flipping between dissociated statesz anxiety panic and no idea how to get it to step down when I usually can dissociate to a baseline neutral "zombie state" to cope. Although I'm stsrting the process of getting help, I still don't know how do help myself , this video appeared at the right time, it's a process iv never seen and it makes so much sense to work it this way. this comment im replying to also really really helped, thank you for taking the time to share that, it may sound nuts but I hadn't even realised my brain has wandered to past truama or expected outcomes. Thank you ❤ and thank for sharing this video, I really needed to see this 💜
@@Sonprierif someone's around me and I'm able to notice I'm dissociating, I tell them, quick start talking to me. Tell me about your day. It helps bring me back. I'm curious how you do this on your own. I haven't been able to master that yet. I've just resorted to letting myself ride it out.
@@PrissyGaming I talk to myself. I have dpdr for context. Making myself focus on the internal thoughts and concentrations is sometimes enough to get me feeling connected back with my body. Holding cold water in my mouth makes me focus on a sensation that’s external and can connect me back. (I can feel cold water. This water is in a mouth. Because I can feel it this is my mouth etc) or cold water bottle on my cheek or forehead for the same thing.
I have been watching the channel since Chloe was host, I am so proud of how far you all have come. The past few years have not been kind to you all, and for that I am deeply sorry. But you took the blows and kept going, seeing you all grow and heal from when the channel first started to now has been a blessing. You have come so far even in the past year or so, your strength and resilience is inspiring. I know Chloe’s plan was to keep DissociaDID educational but I am so proud of you all for opening up and sharing this part of life with DID too. It is important. I hope this year brings less pain and more peace and clarity. ❤
There's a big connection between mental health and physical health and that absolutely shows here. In 2021 their body was thinner, paler, and overall they look absolutely exhausted. Compare to 2023, you can just tell by looking into their eyes that they've healed significantly I've been watching these videos for years and this just- damn, I'm just so happy for you all
Generalized anxiety, depression and ADHD here. Triggering yourself while your mind wanders is something else. I'm glad that the panic attack was avoided. I'm so glad you guys are back to a healthier weight and that things sound like they're getting better.
I always thought it was normal to be able to snap out of a crying spell so fast....i thought everybody sat up, wiped their tears and went "welp that's over"
I don't have DID and I can do that - my therapist told me it's part of an ingrained "survival technique" that I was using that stopped me from getting into worse trouble and situations with my family, that just continued itself into a coping mechanism for when I was at work and in high stress situations where crying wouldn't have helped me, at least not in the moment. Not saying that's your reason for being able to just stop yourself from crying and move on like it's nothing, but it does show that there are multiple reasons for why you could be able to do that!
I've done that before. Full on flashback, crying and just a terrifying experience and when it faded I immediately stopped crying and went back to cuddling with the dogs
I haven't finished this video and I don't like to comment on other's appearances, but… wow. You're glowing so much now, Kya. The work every alter has been making these past few years doesn't go unnoticed. I'll always cherish for you, you have some inherent strength that is impressive to see. I'm also writing down every “tip” because your videos have been super helpful to cope with my own panic attacks.
Hearing Kyle again was weirdly very comforting. That's exactly the peptalk needed some days. Edit: this is so so so helpful, thank you!! Your face has so much more life now. I know a lot is still happening but your eyes actually show what you're feeling now.
This video came out literally five minutes after we barely avoided a panick attack. Thank you so much for this, DissociaDID, and keep on being amazing and helpful. You helped us realize a lot of things about us throughout all of your videos and we can't thank you enough for it. Thank you. - Coco
@@DissociaDID We are, thank you very much. Once again, all of us appreciate the safe space and information you have provided for people like us. Thank you. -Rachel
It's so incredible that you guys have gotten to a point where you're able to watch footage like this. You inspire me to keep getting better even though it can be difficult. Much love ❤️
It's not easy but we could never have watched and commented on a clip like this last year, I'm glad the channel can be proof of our healing journey too!
@@DissociaDID and help many others along the way! I found this video helpful and may have to try it next I have a panic attack. I don't have DID OR PTSD but I do get mild panic attacks very occasionally.
Seeing this, especially Kyle's words coming out to encourage you all, reminds me of before we knew we were a system and how we would do similar verbal reassurance to each other without realizing it was to other alters. This is incredibly vulnerable for you to share, and I'm very glad to see you in a far more stable and healthy situation that you were in those times, and I'm glad you made it through. ~Jade & AJ
I have no idea how difficult it is to live with DID and I hope this doesn’t sound inconsiderate or ignorant; I just absolutely love how the alters all protect each other and especially Kyle just got you all up and was like “yep let’s go we’re good”, I suffer from depression & some other mental health stuff and when i get into episodes it takes me hours sometimes to get out of it - I just love how you have so much support inside your own head to help you all get out of bad head spaces it’s really beautiful ❤❤❤
Your body itself is so starkly different from two years ago. You can just SEE how far you’ve come as a system. Can’t wait to see where you all are in the next two years 🧡
@@EF-fc4du I highly recommend you to look into psychiatry studies and scientific evidences about DID before writing another ignorant comment Warning, you may feel really stupid after realizing how insensitive you were, but don't worry, it's called growing up
@@EF-fc4du what is the point of your uneducated comment. You clearly are not sure how DID works and you have no place to say she doesn’t have it. If you don’t have anything helpful to say then why are you wasting your energy here?
That was so raw. My heart bleeds for you - it was wrenching to see how ill you looked, but I'm so proud of you all for how you fought through in spite of everything you were put through
We looked a lot worse in 2020, we didn't realise we still looked sick in 2021 until we edited it side by side with us now. It's reassuring to see how far we've come ❤️
Thank you so, so much for sharing this. Today my therapist told me about this method (stopping and naming my feelings, instead of pushing them down, just like I’m used to). Now you’ve shown me its power. I’m so proud of all of you. I’m so glad that you are still here. I love you, thank you all for YOU! I remember the day when you’ve announced going into hiatus. I remember feeling for you, I remember wishing you all the best and being sad about the situation. I remember feeling worried. Now I see with my own eyes that the worry was for a good reason. I’m relieved to see how much better you are physically. I hope with all my heart that you are better mentally too. Also, I remember the first video of yours that I had ever seen. It was about non-human alters. I remember the colorful hair and nice makeup. I liked you immediately, but I didn’t know English that well at the time, so I didn’t appreciate the material enough. But this video and some others kept popping up, so eventually I’d subscribed. I couldn’t be happier about that decision. After seeing your journey throughout the years, I feel like you’re an old friend of mine that I really care about. So, thank you. Stay safe, and please know that you are loved and supported even by strangers living thousands of kilometers from you. I know it’s not much, but wanted to say it anyway:) you have played a part in me changing my life for the better. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart❤
@@DissociaDID I remember being so worried too. It is incredible you made it through and are still here and still doing what you are determined to do. It's incredible. And I love how you were trying to help people even in that hardest time. But it wasn't the time for it. But now it is and now you are able to. Wishing you health and strength and peace always. ❤️❤️❤️
Your recent content has been honestly incredible. As someone that has been following you for many years now I feel like your early content informs us a lot about DID, what it is, how it happens and how to cope. But your recent updates are now showing up how to empathise and relate to it, the human personal side of it if it makes any sense. I imagine it must be hard cause it’s personal and we know it’s hard for you to open up about past experiences like this but just know that we appreciate it so much and it has been just incredible to be part of your journey in some way and see you change so much 💕
This was so helpful even for those of us without DID but who have triggers. I recently found out that I have complex PTSD and am starting to identify all my triggers and realizing that the responses I have from a trigger are because of a trigger and not just like normal depression or anxiety. And I go through the same phases of dissociation and then like shame-filled emotional breakdown. So many of the same emotions you were naming. And it was validating as well to see that it’s not just me who cries after getting angry during a trigger response. Like I had always thought that was just me being weak and even after beginning the process of healing from cPTSD I still didn’t know that other people handled triggers this way and it’s comforting to know that it’s a normal response. Beyond that, it was also so helpful to see the process first hand. Like it was so easy to relate to everything you were experiencing even though, again, I don’t have DID. Seeing you visibly use these coping mechanisms to calm yourself makes me feel motivated to try them more myself. The naming of emotions is not something I’ve tried before but seeing how helpful it was for you is really motivating. Thank you!
I love how your accent gets slightly stronger after watching Kyle. You're all such a wonderful bunch. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable showing us this. You're all wonderful
As someone with no first- or second-hand experience with DID, I find videos like this very useful for understanding what it's really like! It does a really good job of showing how different alters interact as a whole system.
I'm in therapy and DID is one of the things that is being considered. I've never had panic attacks but had my first one the other day. It sucked so bad. This really really helped, I'm a visual learner and seeing you work through it really helped, thank you.
This goes to show how hard recovery is sometimes, but no matter how hard recovery seems, it's always possible. Baby steps make big leaps in the long run.
I don't have DID, I have chronic depression and anxiety/panic attacks. I've found your methods of recognizing, naming, and controlled deep breathing are fantastic at helping me through. I'm very glad you're sharing what you've found works. My life is enriched by your teachings and sharing. You're all Amazing!!😍😘
I am so glad that you all are still here with us. I am so glad that all those terrible awful people that were drowning you in hate didn't take you away from this world because you are so desperately needed. Your amazing work and love and just your system all around is so very much needed! I love you and adore you for all your system does to help disple the stigmas of DID and mental health as a whole!! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕😂
I can feel the pressure in the chest with the breathing, the start of a panic attack, start of hyperventilation. Incredibly well done on avoiding the panic attack. So proud of you guys!
Do you ever feel like you need to cry but actually crying triggers someone else out who stops crying and dissociates from the emotions? This has been a big struggle for us because many of our protectors are not the nicest people and will ridicule and belittle Grey for having those emotions and reactions. Your videos and your strength is hugely motivating and inspiring for us, thank you so much - Sel (maybe) (The Enigma System)
Hi! We’re absolutely loving the sort of self-help videos lately (with the grounding and dealing with triggers). All of those videos are so so helpful and we can’t wait to see more in future. Thank you and all the best to everyone in your system 💕 -JJ/Jeremy
I checked the reddit out and jeez you guys are so strong for coming back to youtube and continuing to make content. Some people have so much hate in their heart (and nothing better to do) so they resort to literal stalking behaviour. I always enjoy your content, it can be really helpful even to someone who doesn't have DID.
Your body look so much healthier, I am incredibly respectful toward your strength, and the look in your eyes, the way you express yourself and carefully explain what Nin was feeling is absolutely impressive. You as an individual and you guys as a system are really awe-inspiring and I'm so glad you were willing to share your experience, knowledge and this extremely personnal footage. Take good care of yourself and see you around for new videos!
I have cptsd and wow i relate to this experience (obviously aside from switching). I could physically feel the exhaustion and dissociation (much milder for me). its hard to describe this experience to people. thank you all for sharing such a vulnerable experience.
Information and examples like this have really helped me. I don't have DID, just depression, anxiety disorders, and PTSD. Videos like this really help me to view my disorders in more positive ways which changes how I react to what my mind and body do. I react with less hate and blame (or at least I'm trying to) when flashbacks or anxiety attacks happen. I don't know if that makes sense. But your videos encourage me to work with myself and my body and figure out what sort of groundings and methods work for me, instead of just being sad and pissy about it.
So... it turns out i have PTSD, and your videos is the things thats taught me most, and helped me the best. Thank you for all you and the rest of your system does for all of us. You are good people in my book, always have been and always will be. I hope you have a calm evening with the kitties😊
I have always had such deep respect and love for Kyle. I love catching glimpses of him still. I'm so grateful for you, Kya, and Sally, Jade, Ruby. You have all worked so hard for your system. ❤
Kyle is like my inner voice I use when I talk myself out of a funk. "It's fine, you're fine, it wasn't that bad, keep moving". I can get overwhelmed and spiral downward, and have had to learn to break off and interrupt negative thought patterns. I guess it's a form of self-soothing. Just something to push me forward instead of sitting and settling in a mire. Thank you for sharing the struggles you've gone through, it helps when you know you're not alone.
As someone who was always told to just feel their feelings it never once occurred to me to NAME THEM as a way to help me understand and not spend all day crying 😅
@@argonanarchy3882es! With a general culture that praises being logical and sensible, I find that our emotions are rarely properly identified/ addressed. Like not ignoring / downplaying, also not just simply happy sad angry and that’s it, but to get more specific with it. Is it your emotions or sb’s projection, where it’s comin frm… I suppose that’s what’s good about being vulnerable and trying to have healthy reactions to all emotions. This is a really good demonstration! This prob can be adapted for anyone to use when they are intensely emotional and wanna be grounded!
Wow, thank you for being so opened and showing such a vulnerable and personal moment in order to help people. That’s honestly so nice of you. I liked one thing in particular about the video, how you said, at the beginning: “It happened because Nin’s mind wandered and she triggered herself”. It’s curious how sometimes the triggers are not even “outside”, we just lose ourselves in our thoughts and the trauma/sensations comes back. I do a thing when I’m scared of feeling anxious and scared I’ll get triggered, that I trigger myself “thinking of things I’m scared of thinking”. Does that make sense? I’m really working on it. I hope I get better. Thank you for sharing this, guys. I really appreciate it and I hope you’re all well and safe now. Take care! ❤️
This makes a lot of sense to me, I don't know if I do the same with triggers, but I've definitely struggled a long time (and still do, but it's getting easier) with being scared to be scared, or sad to be sad or angry to be angry
Thank you for showing this! we've never though about naming our emotions to help them, and who is feeling what. We also have you to thank for all the help in actually figuring out what was going on with the DID. You're all awesome - Cass
I'm so grateful you shared this... ❤ I'm going to start using the technique of naming the emotions I'm feeling a panic attack coming on. I know it will help my partner better understand what I'm feeling & what they can do to help. Thank you Kya, I am so grateful.
hi! i watch your videos from time to time and today one of our alters started reading The Haunted Self (a book about DID) and learned what ANP and EPs are and was so excited to hear you mention the term EP in your video! thank you so much for these. in our country, DID isn’t even a thing and we got professionally diagnosed by a private psychiatrist who actually lives in the 21st century and are so lucky to be receiving free therapy from a trusted psychologist but sadly there aren’t many resources on DID and even less in the language our therapist can easily understand so we send her your videos regularly! thank you so much 💛
I have done nearly 4 years of interpersonal, group and individual therapy to deal with cptsd and the repercussions of narcissist abuse/ dv and I can see how hard you guys have worked. The change in yourself, the skills and understanding you have is so visible. I can tell you have put in the work in therapy and I just wanted to say I am proud of you all. I see your strength and the effort you have put in to cope
You're all so incredible. It's amazing that you are all there to help each other when the world becomes too much. It's beautiful to see who you've all become these days
This video is so helpful because we normally just switch out and disassociate so we don’t deal with the issue and watching y’all tell how you felt and how to get through it really helps. Y’all are amazing and we love the channel. ❤️
I am working on becoming licensed as a foster parent this year, and watching your videos has helped me learn so much about trauma and how to cope or help someone else through it. I want to make sure I am a safe space for any kids who are placed with me, and learning from you has helped me so much. Please keep sharing whatever you all are comfortable with.
this was really helpful, even just helping us see that being vulnerable isn’t bad. we’ve only been in therapy for a couple months and we’re trying to even be able to cry in front of her. ty for all the work yall do to help others and i hope y’all are taking care of yourselves
that was an amazing video, thank you all for sharing I can't imagine how difficult it was for you guys it was hard to watch but it was also very helpful I'm happy to see how better you've got!!
this was massively helpful for us, thank you. one of the things that was really helpful for me (Sam) was seeing how long it took you guys to actually get back up and start getting things done. I'm always under the impression that if my coping strategies aren't immediately making everything better then I'm doing them wrong, but this showed me that sometimes it takes a few different coping strategies and, being in a system, sometimes multiple alters. time capsules of times in your guys' past is truly amazing to me and i really hope to see more. I'm glad you guys are able to watch those videos, thank you for sharing some of it with us. your content has always been so genuine and uplifting, you're doing amazing things. -Sam, Noah, Cadence
Hello. I don't have DID, but I wanted to say that your channel has helped me figure out a lot of stuff. I thought I had DID for a long while, but BPD is tricky. It mimics a lot of things, makes you think you have every condition in the world. I created my alters because I didn't know what I was feeling. I didn't know how to cope with what I was feeling. So I hid behind "other people". I won't go into the trauma that I faced, because it's been a lot, but a lot of times, BPD just feels like a weakness for me. There's no one there to be like Kyle and stop the rush of emotions that I feel when I'm triggered. But I recognize that everything that stems from trauma is in some way protective. Anyway, I'm rambling, but I wanted to say thank you, Kya, thank you Jade, thank you. All of you. You're stronger than you'd ever know.
My mum was diagnosed with “Multiple personality disorder with a dissociative disorder” (she was diagnosed 20+ years ago but it is DID) this channel has helped me so much in trying to understand what my mum goes through. Unfortunately she hasn’t had much help and is still afraid of her alters. I’ve only met one for about 30 seconds before my mum took back over and left. I wish she used the internet so I could show her this channel. Thank you for sharing❤
Thankyou so much. That was very helpful. I couldn't exactly figure out how to even start as I do have trouble figuring out what I'm feeling but seeing it, it makes sense now. And seeing it actually work gives me hope. I'm definitely trying this next time. Again thankyou
I've been trying to do this for a while, I was recently diagnosed with DID and it's been hard to calm down when the trigger isn't as easily identified. But seeing that it's not instant and even if your doing it right it takes time to pull yourself out of it helps. I thought I was doing it wrong but I wasn't allowing myself to feel the emotions before pulling myself out. Thank you so much for this video. I am glad you guys have gotten healthier and have hopefully got a lot less stress now. I've been watching you guys for years and it always makes me smile when you upload. I am so glad you guys get to post again and that you weren't forced to quit TH-cam. Much love and hope for healing! ❤
Kya, god I have so much respect for you, the way you carry yourself and how you've grown. The way you've allowed us to see these intimate bits, just thank you truly. You are absolutely amazing :)
I’m a singlet that loves to study about DID and spread awareness about it, and I actually have used this method when I’m feeling overwhelmed as i have ADHD and it helps me distinguish when I’m actually feeling irritated at a certain topic or an environment and helps me realize when I should remove myself to calm down and take a breather. It also helps me realize if I’m feeling a secondary emotion (like anger or irritation) and it helps me get to what is actually making me feel angry and wether that’s a sensory problem or whatever reason it helps to for me know what I’m feeling and why I’m feeling it and helps me react accordingly :)
@DissociaDID - Kya another great video. It gives perspective on just how difficult this disorder is. It also shows just how strong of a unit you all are and how hard you all try to protect each other. It’s very educational and also inspiring (your strength). Thank you for sharing!
hi you all !!! i’m Camila and last year I made a presentation about DID and I mentioned you guys and your channel !! it’s been so helpful to hundreds of people to understand the negative connotations about DID and the stigma surrounding it, i’m so grateful I found this channel, thank you guys for educating us on this topic, you all are so inspiring :) greetings from Chile !!!!
Watching your last video has really helped with giving us more coping mechanisms for when we're triggerd and seeing you use it here the same way we have has boosted our confidence in using it, so thank you for sharing. Hope your doing well! -Tugger (Bumble Tea system)
from the perspective of a singlet with lots of trauma, it's so fascinating/informative to see this happening!! thank you for sharing your vulnerability
I don’t have DID as far as I’m aware, but I do have anxiety and depression and dissociate a ton. My panic attacks often look like your system’s. These recent videos have helped me so, so much to learn to cope when I start getting hit with a panic attack and to ground myself when I’m dissociating and I appreciate it so much. You guys are amazing 🩷 thank you
I love watching your videos, they help me understand DID. Your videos have also helped me have more communication with my parts/alters/personalities. Your videos also help me deal with the stress of my recent diagnosis of DID.
You know, I also wanted to say this. As a mom of 4 children. And 2 of my littles have ASD. I I C-PTSD, Anxiety/Social Anxiety, Depression and OCD tendencies (just to name a few) the amount of help I've gathered from watching your channel over the years is beyond measure. You all have made me stop and gather my thoughts and feelings more and really break it down. I'm not sure if I would be able to handle my daily life as stressful as it can be. Certain things that trigger me, my older two daughters know and understand but clearly not my two young autistic boys. And b.c I'm able to understand and be aware now, things like them cuddling on me rubbing my arms and such don't cause me to panic. I feel bad that I didn't have the ability I do know for when my daughter's was little. B.c when they would do such it would make me sick to my stomach and very upset emotionally. But I'm just so thankful for you Kya and your whole system. I wouldn't be the mother I am now, honest to God, if it wasn't for you all. It's hard to even admit it. But I wanted you to know.
Have you looked into the possibility of you also being autistic? Growing up I had anxiety/social anxiety, OCD, and depression, only to learn at 16 that I am autistic!
@@sari9645 I have honestly wondered. For a few reasons, one of is when talking to someone even family or my best friend, to make long form eye contact is so hard. Like if I'm really trying it start having my heart race I feel like my face gets red and just overwhelming and stressful. And things like I do not like to do stuff w.o having it planned out, like knowing all the details before hand.
Ginger also tells me it’s okay and she strokes my cheek. Before I knew I had DID I always thought I was doing it myself and and that I was weird for it lol. It is cool to see someone else do it because I didn’t know other systems did. This content also gave a really well unpolished view of what it is like. Your videos are so well made that sometimes it is actually hard to see the extent it affects you because you work to hide it so well. Your tired face and tangly hair in the video reminded me that everyone with DID has struggles like I have. It’s one thing to hear you talk about it looking done up with a high quality camera and another to see it in action.
This was heartbreaking to watch, and fascinating and finally brilliant when you "win". And then when Kyle comes in at the end, I had to smile and say "hurrah for Kyle". I remember him well. Good health to you all. Thank you for the learning. Be safe.
I have been struggling with an unknown dissociation/neurological disorder for about a year now and your videos have helped me so much. Whoever it was in Anthony's video who expressed how important it is to not feel alone always comes to my head when I'm confused or scared and I don't know how to handle what is happening to me. Thank you so much for making me feel not alone anymore 💜
Thanks for being so vulnerable with us - these videos help give me an insight into how I can be there for my friends who experience flashbacks and such. Hope you all are doing well!
I’m not a system, but i have trauma and a lot of things did resonate with me in this video. A lot of things like “somehow” getting triggered and the shame around that when it happens, the trouble dealing with it and definitely dissociation being a part of it definitely resonated. In my case, i guess i can apply some of the ways different altars stepped in or reacted to my own self-talk and how i treat myself throughout that trigger, or sometimes even how other people around me may respond or support me sometimes. Thank you, i feel a bit understood.
Thank you so much for being so brave and sharing this video and explanation with us of what you were going through during such a vulnerable and horrible time in your life. It was so sad to see how hurt you all were, physically and emotionally, but I’m grateful that you showed us because I’ve definitely been there as well and am having a hard time coping lately too. This helps so much, I’m going to save it and rewatch it again to try to start implementing this into my daily life. A lot of love to you all, Kya & Co ❤
Amazing progress! I really love that you are showing the process and we can clearly see how integrated you are becoming. So proud of you and the work you've done. I love you all, and it's lovely to see you healing ❤❤
So so happy to see you again ❤ It's exactly what I needed today ☺ thank you for your content, always appreciated. Lots of love to everyone in the system ❤
I am so fucking proud of you guys. You have accomplished so much and you have helped so many people. I wanna thank you for always being there for all of us. You can do this. You are safe. You are strong.
Congratulations upon your video it explains quite what's like to live with DID, seems hard to deal with but you handle it as a pro. Bravo to share it publicly !
I just love how Kyle's voice comes out stronger when Kya is remembering things from his perspective.
Yesss I agree
@@mavviemavvers3760This is great dinner theater lol. Look, I’m not saying that past trauma can’t have an impact on a person, or that this isn’t a thing. But, the filmed "switches" between alts is just all very sus.
@@dightonazpeitia4350this comment just tells me you’re ignorant
@@dightonazpeitia4350exactly
I remember how Chloe wanted this channel to be strictly informational: and now, allowing yourselves to share a bit of your personhood with us has lead to this channel being even more helpful for all the systems out there. Thank you for being brave enough to share this.
Exactly this
"you big babies cmon" caught me off guard LMAO. Honestly, seeing your face from 2 years ago compared to now, I was like wow they really have healed a shit ton... So proud of you
Thank you ❤️
Ikr
Man, that health difference was more stark than I expected. I'm glad y'all look so well now
Thank you ❤️
@@DissociaDID You probably get comments like the one above me more than we (viewers) realize, I hope you don't let them get to you. I would've said I hope they stop, but people like them will always be there unfortunately, just keep your chin up /srs
Jason used your method a few days ago. He was frontstuck for a while, and he got pretty badly triggered. He went through the steps and managed to keep himself from having a flashback. Thank you so much for posting about this. It’s really helped us. -Murdock
I'm SO glad to hear this!! Wishing you all well ❤️🎉
That’s amazing! Well done, so happy for you! ❤
Hi, im really interested in learning more about DID, im still very naive about much of the terminology. Will you be able to teach me what frontstuck means?
@@skyraven9079 as far a s I know it means the alter currently in the front can't switch out even if it would be better in that moment to keep the body from getting triggered or something along the line of that. DissociaDID was stuck on time with a little in front when they were in Disneyland and that could have gone very wrong if they hadn't had someone to look after them.
Amazing! ❤️💪
“It’s not fair, we’re tired” I felt that in my soul being so fed up with having pain to deal with that wasn’t your doing that your frustrated you can’t just forget
Oh Kyle. You are dearly missed but so happy we have Kya now ❤️
Thank you ❤️ (from the Kyle in me and the Kya I am haha)
@@DissociaDID haha 😂
Much love to all of you ❤️
@@callanightshade8079lol I’m trying to watch this with a straight face but wow. This is dinner theater basically. 😂 Kyle became Kylie became Cala. lol Suuuure.
I would love to hear you guys talk about integration and fusion and how your views on it have changed. I remember Chloe and Nin talking about being scared of it, while Kya describing Nin and Kyle’s fusion with such beautiful language.
We can do that!
@@DissociaDIDyes please, it’s very interesting to learn about integrating and fusion
@@DissociaDID would love that!
@@DissociaDID I'm absolutely terrified of integration, as are my others. It's even becoming harder to talk to professionals for fear that they just want to get rid of us for good. I'd be beyond grateful if you did a video about that ❤❤❤
I love how Kyle was able to take control of the situation and told everyone to stop panicking at then end❤ Sometimes that is needed. You sometimes need someone to tell you "come on now, get up and get going, it's ok!". I also laughed when he said "big babies"😂 (not at him or you guys panicking but at his attitude and determination to get up) as you said it was brutal but as i said that attitude is needed sometimes.❤ I Love Kyle (and Kya)🥰
I (when I was Kyle) was always firm but in a loving, guiding kind of way hahah - Kya
@@DissociaDID :)❤
Reminds me of “big brother” energy!
It certain situations it can help 😅 it's a bit like splashing cold water on your face, makes for a quick change of state, especially when it's out the blue like that 😂
At least Nin had done some excellent processing of what they were feeling first, it wasn't how most people use those statements to ignore, deny or avoid what they're feeling ❤
My mom does this to me when I have a panic attack. She'll coddle me for a bit, but eventually it turns into, "Alright, now you need to be the strong person I know you are and get back on track." She uses phrases like Kyle did, but mostly to just try to get me to laugh. Once I can focus on another emotion that's not despair and panic, I can come out of it easier. I've started saying things like that to myself too when I'm dealing with them on my own 😂
I really felt Kyle in this video. I don’t really know why but I felt him more than usual. I’m glad you’ve all healed so much despite having to start over
I have Complex ptsd and your videos about this stuff has helped me come to terms with some of my own issues. Ive gotten very good at just dissociating away from hard emotions and just supressing them. And this practice of just naming the emotion has been a HUGE step for me.
I'm so glad!!
I dissociate sometimes, and honestly, I have no clue why. Whenever I do that, I just have to treat it like a panic attack and ground myself.
I never comment on videos and I don't really know if anyone will see this but having just spent the whole of the past 24hrs panicking in different states and having no idea why I was flipping between dissociated statesz anxiety panic and no idea how to get it to step down when I usually can dissociate to a baseline neutral "zombie state" to cope. Although I'm stsrting the process of getting help, I still don't know how do help myself , this video appeared at the right time, it's a process iv never seen and it makes so much sense to work it this way. this comment im replying to also really really helped, thank you for taking the time to share that, it may sound nuts but I hadn't even realised my brain has wandered to past truama or expected outcomes. Thank you ❤ and thank for sharing this video, I really needed to see this 💜
@@Sonprierif someone's around me and I'm able to notice I'm dissociating, I tell them, quick start talking to me. Tell me about your day. It helps bring me back.
I'm curious how you do this on your own. I haven't been able to master that yet. I've just resorted to letting myself ride it out.
@@PrissyGaming I talk to myself. I have dpdr for context. Making myself focus on the internal thoughts and concentrations is sometimes enough to get me feeling connected back with my body. Holding cold water in my mouth makes me focus on a sensation that’s external and can connect me back. (I can feel cold water. This water is in a mouth. Because I can feel it this is my mouth etc) or cold water bottle on my cheek or forehead for the same thing.
I have been watching the channel since Chloe was host, I am so proud of how far you all have come. The past few years have not been kind to you all, and for that I am deeply sorry. But you took the blows and kept going, seeing you all grow and heal from when the channel first started to now has been a blessing. You have come so far even in the past year or so, your strength and resilience is inspiring. I know Chloe’s plan was to keep DissociaDID educational but I am so proud of you all for opening up and sharing this part of life with DID too. It is important. I hope this year brings less pain and more peace and clarity. ❤
I’ve been here since Chloe was host too!! Its amazing to see how much everyone has grown & how healthy and strong everyone is now. SLAY!
I’ve been here that long as well, it’s been a while since I’ve checked up on the system and I’m very surprised with the changes.
There's a big connection between mental health and physical health and that absolutely shows here. In 2021 their body was thinner, paler, and overall they look absolutely exhausted. Compare to 2023, you can just tell by looking into their eyes that they've healed significantly
I've been watching these videos for years and this just- damn, I'm just so happy for you all
Thank you ❤️
Generalized anxiety, depression and ADHD here. Triggering yourself while your mind wanders is something else. I'm glad that the panic attack was avoided. I'm so glad you guys are back to a healthier weight and that things sound like they're getting better.
I always thought it was normal to be able to snap out of a crying spell so fast....i thought everybody sat up, wiped their tears and went "welp that's over"
I think a lot of people can, it's definitely not just a DID thing ❤️
I don't have DID and I can do that - my therapist told me it's part of an ingrained "survival technique" that I was using that stopped me from getting into worse trouble and situations with my family, that just continued itself into a coping mechanism for when I was at work and in high stress situations where crying wouldn't have helped me, at least not in the moment.
Not saying that's your reason for being able to just stop yourself from crying and move on like it's nothing, but it does show that there are multiple reasons for why you could be able to do that!
ASD, yup, totally normal reaction. Moving on with life now.
I've done that before. Full on flashback, crying and just a terrifying experience and when it faded I immediately stopped crying and went back to cuddling with the dogs
@@callanightshade8079 I definitely recommend cuddling with dogs.
I haven't finished this video and I don't like to comment on other's appearances, but… wow. You're glowing so much now, Kya. The work every alter has been making these past few years doesn't go unnoticed. I'll always cherish for you, you have some inherent strength that is impressive to see. I'm also writing down every “tip” because your videos have been super helpful to cope with my own panic attacks.
Thank you so much, and I'm really glad our vids & tips have been helping! ❤️
Hearing Kyle again was weirdly very comforting. That's exactly the peptalk needed some days.
Edit: this is so so so helpful, thank you!!
Your face has so much more life now. I know a lot is still happening but your eyes actually show what you're feeling now.
yeah for me too Kyle is super comforting, he's like a really good dad friend :)
This video came out literally five minutes after we barely avoided a panick attack. Thank you so much for this, DissociaDID, and keep on being amazing and helpful. You helped us realize a lot of things about us throughout all of your videos and we can't thank you enough for it. Thank you.
- Coco
Hope you're feeling a little better now! ❤️
@@DissociaDID We are, thank you very much. Once again, all of us appreciate the safe space and information you have provided for people like us. Thank you. -Rachel
It's so incredible that you guys have gotten to a point where you're able to watch footage like this. You inspire me to keep getting better even though it can be difficult. Much love ❤️
It's not easy but we could never have watched and commented on a clip like this last year, I'm glad the channel can be proof of our healing journey too!
@@DissociaDID and help many others along the way! I found this video helpful and may have to try it next I have a panic attack. I don't have DID OR PTSD but I do get mild panic attacks very occasionally.
Seeing this, especially Kyle's words coming out to encourage you all, reminds me of before we knew we were a system and how we would do similar verbal reassurance to each other without realizing it was to other alters. This is incredibly vulnerable for you to share, and I'm very glad to see you in a far more stable and healthy situation that you were in those times, and I'm glad you made it through.
~Jade & AJ
Every time you mention 2020/2021 I get stressed for you 😅❤
Lmao same 😂 worst years
Also, totally breaks my heart to see you like that. You’ve come so far, im so flippin’ proud 🔥❤️
I totally agree. I was so stressed during this time. Constantly looking for updates praying they was all doing okay!!
@@_RavishingRaven_ I'm so sorry we stressed you ❤️
@@DissociaDID oh no, you didn't stress me. I was stressed for you. I was concerned. All I wanted to do was give you all a big hug 🤗 and say it's okay.
I love how you can hear Kyle's voice come out a little more after the clip is over.
I have no idea how difficult it is to live with DID and I hope this doesn’t sound inconsiderate or ignorant; I just absolutely love how the alters all protect each other and especially Kyle just got you all up and was like “yep let’s go we’re good”, I suffer from depression & some other mental health stuff and when i get into episodes it takes me hours sometimes to get out of it - I just love how you have so much support inside your own head to help you all get out of bad head spaces it’s really beautiful ❤❤❤
It's not always like this, more often the opposite, but when it works well it helps so much!
@@DissociaDID you are all so beautiful !! I hope you’re staying safe and happy ❤️
Your body itself is so starkly different from two years ago. You can just SEE how far you’ve come as a system. Can’t wait to see where you all are in the next two years 🧡
This is not a system. It's a person. Either a very confused or very dishonest person. But one person.
@@EF-fc4du I highly recommend you to look into psychiatry studies and scientific evidences about DID before writing another ignorant comment
Warning, you may feel really stupid after realizing how insensitive you were, but don't worry, it's called growing up
@@EF-fc4du what is the point of your uneducated comment. You clearly are not sure how DID works and you have no place to say she doesn’t have it. If you don’t have anything helpful to say then why are you wasting your energy here?
@@EF-fc4du I think you stumbled across this channel by accident.
That was so raw. My heart bleeds for you - it was wrenching to see how ill you looked, but I'm so proud of you all for how you fought through in spite of everything you were put through
We looked a lot worse in 2020, we didn't realise we still looked sick in 2021 until we edited it side by side with us now. It's reassuring to see how far we've come ❤️
@@DissociaDID you've come such a long way. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable time with us ❤️
Thank you so much for making these videos. My husband has DID and it’s been great to watch these with him and talk about it afterwards.
Thank you so, so much for sharing this. Today my therapist told me about this method (stopping and naming my feelings, instead of pushing them down, just like I’m used to). Now you’ve shown me its power. I’m so proud of all of you. I’m so glad that you are still here. I love you, thank you all for YOU!
I remember the day when you’ve announced going into hiatus. I remember feeling for you, I remember wishing you all the best and being sad about the situation. I remember feeling worried. Now I see with my own eyes that the worry was for a good reason. I’m relieved to see how much better you are physically. I hope with all my heart that you are better mentally too.
Also, I remember the first video of yours that I had ever seen. It was about non-human alters. I remember the colorful hair and nice makeup. I liked you immediately, but I didn’t know English that well at the time, so I didn’t appreciate the material enough. But this video and some others kept popping up, so eventually I’d subscribed. I couldn’t be happier about that decision. After seeing your journey throughout the years, I feel like you’re an old friend of mine that I really care about. So, thank you.
Stay safe, and please know that you are loved and supported even by strangers living thousands of kilometers from you. I know it’s not much, but wanted to say it anyway:) you have played a part in me changing my life for the better. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@DissociaDID I remember being so worried too. It is incredible you made it through and are still here and still doing what you are determined to do. It's incredible.
And I love how you were trying to help people even in that hardest time. But it wasn't the time for it. But now it is and now you are able to. Wishing you health and strength and peace always. ❤️❤️❤️
Your recent content has been honestly incredible. As someone that has been following you for many years now I feel like your early content informs us a lot about DID, what it is, how it happens and how to cope.
But your recent updates are now showing up how to empathise and relate to it, the human personal side of it if it makes any sense. I imagine it must be hard cause it’s personal and we know it’s hard for you to open up about past experiences like this but just know that we appreciate it so much and it has been just incredible to be part of your journey in some way and see you change so much 💕
❤️❤️
I second to that as your fan since Chloe. I'm glad and I can see much improvement from you stay healthy my dear
This was so helpful even for those of us without DID but who have triggers. I recently found out that I have complex PTSD and am starting to identify all my triggers and realizing that the responses I have from a trigger are because of a trigger and not just like normal depression or anxiety. And I go through the same phases of dissociation and then like shame-filled emotional breakdown. So many of the same emotions you were naming. And it was validating as well to see that it’s not just me who cries after getting angry during a trigger response. Like I had always thought that was just me being weak and even after beginning the process of healing from cPTSD I still didn’t know that other people handled triggers this way and it’s comforting to know that it’s a normal response. Beyond that, it was also so helpful to see the process first hand. Like it was so easy to relate to everything you were experiencing even though, again, I don’t have DID. Seeing you visibly use these coping mechanisms to calm yourself makes me feel motivated to try them more myself. The naming of emotions is not something I’ve tried before but seeing how helpful it was for you is really motivating. Thank you!
I love how your accent gets slightly stronger after watching Kyle. You're all such a wonderful bunch. Thanks for being so open and vulnerable showing us this. You're all wonderful
As someone with no first- or second-hand experience with DID, I find videos like this very useful for understanding what it's really like! It does a really good job of showing how different alters interact as a whole system.
Im proud of you for sharing this, all of you. This is a very vulnerable moment but it definitely got your point across. im proud of you guys.
I'm glad it was helpful to illustrate!
I'm in therapy and DID is one of the things that is being considered. I've never had panic attacks but had my first one the other day. It sucked so bad. This really really helped, I'm a visual learner and seeing you work through it really helped, thank you.
This goes to show how hard recovery is sometimes, but no matter how hard recovery seems, it's always possible. Baby steps make big leaps in the long run.
I don't have DID, I have chronic depression and anxiety/panic attacks. I've found your methods of recognizing, naming, and controlled deep breathing are fantastic at helping me through. I'm very glad you're sharing what you've found works. My life is enriched by your teachings and sharing. You're all Amazing!!😍😘
I am so glad that you all are still here with us. I am so glad that all those terrible awful people that were drowning you in hate didn't take you away from this world because you are so desperately needed. Your amazing work and love and just your system all around is so very much needed! I love you and adore you for all your system does to help disple the stigmas of DID and mental health as a whole!! ❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was talking about you today, havent seen you in a long time but i'm glad i'm back here on your channel 😊
I can feel the pressure in the chest with the breathing, the start of a panic attack, start of hyperventilation. Incredibly well done on avoiding the panic attack. So proud of you guys!
Thank you for consistently showing us yourself at your most vulnerable moments to educate us! You're an incredible person, all of you. ♡
Do you ever feel like you need to cry but actually crying triggers someone else out who stops crying and dissociates from the emotions? This has been a big struggle for us because many of our protectors are not the nicest people and will ridicule and belittle Grey for having those emotions and reactions.
Your videos and your strength is hugely motivating and inspiring for us, thank you so much
- Sel (maybe) (The Enigma System)
Yes actually, you're not alone in experiencing that ❤️
@@DissociaDID Thank you, that means a lot
Hi! We’re absolutely loving the sort of self-help videos lately (with the grounding and dealing with triggers). All of those videos are so so helpful and we can’t wait to see more in future. Thank you and all the best to everyone in your system 💕 -JJ/Jeremy
You can really see how much healing the system has done to be able to make this video - thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable moment, I'm sure this will help many. ❤
We hope so! ❤️
I checked the reddit out and jeez you guys are so strong for coming back to youtube and continuing to make content. Some people have so much hate in their heart (and nothing better to do) so they resort to literal stalking behaviour. I always enjoy your content, it can be really helpful even to someone who doesn't have DID.
She did such good work ❤
Thank you ❤️
Your body look so much healthier, I am incredibly respectful toward your strength, and the look in your eyes, the way you express yourself and carefully explain what Nin was feeling is absolutely impressive. You as an individual and you guys as a system are really awe-inspiring and I'm so glad you were willing to share your experience, knowledge and this extremely personnal footage. Take good care of yourself and see you around for new videos!
I have cptsd and wow i relate to this experience (obviously aside from switching). I could physically feel the exhaustion and dissociation (much milder for me). its hard to describe this experience to people. thank you all for sharing such a vulnerable experience.
Information and examples like this have really helped me. I don't have DID, just depression, anxiety disorders, and PTSD. Videos like this really help me to view my disorders in more positive ways which changes how I react to what my mind and body do. I react with less hate and blame (or at least I'm trying to) when flashbacks or anxiety attacks happen. I don't know if that makes sense. But your videos encourage me to work with myself and my body and figure out what sort of groundings and methods work for me, instead of just being sad and pissy about it.
So... it turns out i have PTSD, and your videos is the things thats taught me most, and helped me the best. Thank you for all you and the rest of your system does for all of us. You are good people in my book, always have been and always will be. I hope you have a calm evening with the kitties😊
Don’t think I’ve ever been early to a video but I love you guys, thank you for everything you have done for the community
I have always had such deep respect and love for Kyle. I love catching glimpses of him still. I'm so grateful for you, Kya, and Sally, Jade, Ruby. You have all worked so hard for your system. ❤
Kyle is like my inner voice I use when I talk myself out of a funk. "It's fine, you're fine, it wasn't that bad, keep moving". I can get overwhelmed and spiral downward, and have had to learn to break off and interrupt negative thought patterns. I guess it's a form of self-soothing. Just something to push me forward instead of sitting and settling in a mire. Thank you for sharing the struggles you've gone through, it helps when you know you're not alone.
As someone who was always told to just feel their feelings it never once occurred to me to NAME THEM as a way to help me understand and not spend all day crying 😅
It's good to teach children this because it helps them regulate and communicate.
@@argonanarchy3882es! With a general culture that praises being logical and sensible, I find that our emotions are rarely properly identified/ addressed. Like not ignoring / downplaying, also not just simply happy sad angry and that’s it, but to get more specific with it. Is it your emotions or sb’s projection, where it’s comin frm… I suppose that’s what’s good about being vulnerable and trying to have healthy reactions to all emotions. This is a really good demonstration! This prob can be adapted for anyone to use when they are intensely emotional and wanna be grounded!
Wow, thank you for being so opened and showing such a vulnerable and personal moment in order to help people. That’s honestly so nice of you.
I liked one thing in particular about the video, how you said, at the beginning: “It happened because Nin’s mind wandered and she triggered herself”. It’s curious how sometimes the triggers are not even “outside”, we just lose ourselves in our thoughts and the trauma/sensations comes back.
I do a thing when I’m scared of feeling anxious and scared I’ll get triggered, that I trigger myself “thinking of things I’m scared of thinking”. Does that make sense? I’m really working on it. I hope I get better.
Thank you for sharing this, guys. I really appreciate it and I hope you’re all well and safe now. Take care! ❤️
This makes a lot of sense to me, I don't know if I do the same with triggers, but I've definitely struggled a long time (and still do, but it's getting easier) with being scared to be scared, or sad to be sad or angry to be angry
Thank you for showing this! we've never though about naming our emotions to help them, and who is feeling what. We also have you to thank for all the help in actually figuring out what was going on with the DID. You're all awesome - Cass
I'm so grateful you shared this... ❤ I'm going to start using the technique of naming the emotions I'm feeling a panic attack coming on. I know it will help my partner better understand what I'm feeling & what they can do to help. Thank you Kya, I am so grateful.
You're very welcome, I hope it helps both you and your partner to navigate through together! ❤️
hi! i watch your videos from time to time and today one of our alters started reading The Haunted Self (a book about DID) and learned what ANP and EPs are and was so excited to hear you mention the term EP in your video! thank you so much for these. in our country, DID isn’t even a thing and we got professionally diagnosed by a private psychiatrist who actually lives in the 21st century and are so lucky to be receiving free therapy from a trusted psychologist but sadly there aren’t many resources on DID and even less in the language our therapist can easily understand so we send her your videos regularly! thank you so much 💛
As a person that deals with severe panic disorder, thank you so much for showing everyone how to help avoid or control having a panic attack! ❤
Much love and respect to all of you
I have done nearly 4 years of interpersonal, group and individual therapy to deal with cptsd and the repercussions of narcissist abuse/ dv and I can see how hard you guys have worked. The change in yourself, the skills and understanding you have is so visible. I can tell you have put in the work in therapy and I just wanted to say I am proud of you all. I see your strength and the effort you have put in to cope
You're all so incredible. It's amazing that you are all there to help each other when the world becomes too much. It's beautiful to see who you've all become these days
This video was so informational and I’m so glad that you have posted this, especially for the people that can benefit from it. Much love to you all
I hope you guys are doing well. You all are a big ray of hope and comfort in between my tough days. Thank you so much. ❤ I love you guys sm❤
This video is so helpful because we normally just switch out and disassociate so we don’t deal with the issue and watching y’all tell how you felt and how to get through it really helps. Y’all are amazing and we love the channel. ❤️
I am working on becoming licensed as a foster parent this year, and watching your videos has helped me learn so much about trauma and how to cope or help someone else through it. I want to make sure I am a safe space for any kids who are placed with me, and learning from you has helped me so much. Please keep sharing whatever you all are comfortable with.
this was really helpful, even just helping us see that being vulnerable isn’t bad. we’ve only been in therapy for a couple months and we’re trying to even be able to cry in front of her.
ty for all the work yall do to help others and i hope y’all are taking care of yourselves
that was an amazing video, thank you all for sharing I can't imagine how difficult it was for you guys
it was hard to watch but it was also very helpful
I'm happy to see how better you've got!!
this was massively helpful for us, thank you. one of the things that was really helpful for me (Sam) was seeing how long it took you guys to actually get back up and start getting things done. I'm always under the impression that if my coping strategies aren't immediately making everything better then I'm doing them wrong, but this showed me that sometimes it takes a few different coping strategies and, being in a system, sometimes multiple alters.
time capsules of times in your guys' past is truly amazing to me and i really hope to see more. I'm glad you guys are able to watch those videos, thank you for sharing some of it with us. your content has always been so genuine and uplifting, you're doing amazing things.

Hello. I don't have DID, but I wanted to say that your channel has helped me figure out a lot of stuff. I thought I had DID for a long while, but BPD is tricky. It mimics a lot of things, makes you think you have every condition in the world. I created my alters because I didn't know what I was feeling. I didn't know how to cope with what I was feeling. So I hid behind "other people". I won't go into the trauma that I faced, because it's been a lot, but a lot of times, BPD just feels like a weakness for me. There's no one there to be like Kyle and stop the rush of emotions that I feel when I'm triggered. But I recognize that everything that stems from trauma is in some way protective. Anyway, I'm rambling, but I wanted to say thank you, Kya, thank you Jade, thank you. All of you. You're stronger than you'd ever know.
My mum was diagnosed with “Multiple personality disorder with a dissociative disorder” (she was diagnosed 20+ years ago but it is DID) this channel has helped me so much in trying to understand what my mum goes through. Unfortunately she hasn’t had much help and is still afraid of her alters. I’ve only met one for about 30 seconds before my mum took back over and left. I wish she used the internet so I could show her this channel. Thank you for sharing❤
Thankyou so much. That was very helpful. I couldn't exactly figure out how to even start as I do have trouble figuring out what I'm feeling but seeing it, it makes sense now. And seeing it actually work gives me hope. I'm definitely trying this next time. Again thankyou
Really happy to hear this, good luck! ❤️
I've been trying to do this for a while, I was recently diagnosed with DID and it's been hard to calm down when the trigger isn't as easily identified. But seeing that it's not instant and even if your doing it right it takes time to pull yourself out of it helps. I thought I was doing it wrong but I wasn't allowing myself to feel the emotions before pulling myself out. Thank you so much for this video. I am glad you guys have gotten healthier and have hopefully got a lot less stress now. I've been watching you guys for years and it always makes me smile when you upload. I am so glad you guys get to post again and that you weren't forced to quit TH-cam. Much love and hope for healing! ❤
Kya, god I have so much respect for you, the way you carry yourself and how you've grown. The way you've allowed us to see these intimate bits, just thank you truly. You are absolutely amazing :)
I’m a singlet that loves to study about DID and spread awareness about it, and I actually have used this method when I’m feeling overwhelmed as i have ADHD and it helps me distinguish when I’m actually feeling irritated at a certain topic or an environment and helps me realize when I should remove myself to calm down and take a breather. It also helps me realize if I’m feeling a secondary emotion (like anger or irritation) and it helps me get to what is actually making me feel angry and wether that’s a sensory problem or whatever reason it helps to for me know what I’m feeling and why I’m feeling it and helps me react accordingly :)
Kyle was such a sweetheart. We all need a Kyle in our lives
@DissociaDID - Kya another great video. It gives perspective on just how difficult this disorder is. It also shows just how strong of a unit you all are and how hard you all try to protect each other. It’s very educational and also inspiring (your strength). Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!! We hope you're doing okay and staying strong, have been thinking of you! ❤️
@@DissociaDID thank you! Doing okay, surgery went well so now it’s just recovery time. 💕
Wishing you well in your recovery, I'm so glad it went okay, take it easy! ❤️
Ayyy new video! I hope you are doing well
Thank you, we hope you are too! ❤
hi you all !!! i’m Camila and last year I made a presentation about DID and I mentioned you guys and your channel !! it’s been so helpful to hundreds of people to understand the negative connotations about DID and the stigma surrounding it, i’m so grateful I found this channel, thank you guys for educating us on this topic, you all are so inspiring :) greetings from Chile !!!!
Watching your last video has really helped with giving us more coping mechanisms for when we're triggerd and seeing you use it here the same way we have has boosted our confidence in using it, so thank you for sharing. Hope your doing well! -Tugger (Bumble Tea system)
from the perspective of a singlet with lots of trauma, it's so fascinating/informative to see this happening!! thank you for sharing your vulnerability
Love your content so much ! Keep going !
Thank you!
I don’t have DID as far as I’m aware, but I do have anxiety and depression and dissociate a ton. My panic attacks often look like your system’s. These recent videos have helped me so, so much to learn to cope when I start getting hit with a panic attack and to ground myself when I’m dissociating and I appreciate it so much. You guys are amazing 🩷 thank you
You really look unwell in the clip, I am so sorry you had to go through this. Yet even then you were so strong and pulled through
Thank you ❤️ we were a lot better there than we were in 2020 but had a long long way to go
I love watching your videos, they help me understand DID. Your videos have also helped me have more communication with my parts/alters/personalities. Your videos also help me deal with the stress of my recent diagnosis of DID.
You know, I also wanted to say this. As a mom of 4 children. And 2 of my littles have ASD. I I C-PTSD, Anxiety/Social Anxiety, Depression and OCD tendencies (just to name a few) the amount of help I've gathered from watching your channel over the years is beyond measure. You all have made me stop and gather my thoughts and feelings more and really break it down. I'm not sure if I would be able to handle my daily life as stressful as it can be. Certain things that trigger me, my older two daughters know and understand but clearly not my two young autistic boys. And b.c I'm able to understand and be aware now, things like them cuddling on me rubbing my arms and such don't cause me to panic. I feel bad that I didn't have the ability I do know for when my daughter's was little. B.c when they would do such it would make me sick to my stomach and very upset emotionally. But I'm just so thankful for you Kya and your whole system. I wouldn't be the mother I am now, honest to God, if it wasn't for you all. It's hard to even admit it. But I wanted you to know.
Have you looked into the possibility of you also being autistic? Growing up I had anxiety/social anxiety, OCD, and depression, only to learn at 16 that I am autistic!
@@sari9645 I have honestly wondered. For a few reasons, one of is when talking to someone even family or my best friend, to make long form eye contact is so hard. Like if I'm really trying it start having my heart race I feel like my face gets red and just overwhelming and stressful. And things like I do not like to do stuff w.o having it planned out, like knowing all the details before hand.
Ginger also tells me it’s okay and she strokes my cheek. Before I knew I had DID I always thought I was doing it myself and and that I was weird for it lol. It is cool to see someone else do it because I didn’t know other systems did. This content also gave a really well unpolished view of what it is like. Your videos are so well made that sometimes it is actually hard to see the extent it affects you because you work to hide it so well. Your tired face and tangly hair in the video reminded me that everyone with DID has struggles like I have. It’s one thing to hear you talk about it looking done up with a high quality camera and another to see it in action.
thank yall for being so open about all of your struggles. i really makes us feel better knowing we aren’t alone.
This was heartbreaking to watch, and fascinating and finally brilliant when you "win". And then when Kyle comes in at the end, I had to smile and say "hurrah for Kyle". I remember him well. Good health to you all. Thank you for the learning. Be safe.
Thank you for sharing this with us, Kya. You help so many in so many ways, thank you for continuing to do so, be safe and be well.
I have been struggling with an unknown dissociation/neurological disorder for about a year now and your videos have helped me so much. Whoever it was in Anthony's video who expressed how important it is to not feel alone always comes to my head when I'm confused or scared and I don't know how to handle what is happening to me. Thank you so much for making me feel not alone anymore 💜
Thanks for being so vulnerable with us - these videos help give me an insight into how I can be there for my friends who experience flashbacks and such. Hope you all are doing well!
I’m not a system, but i have trauma and a lot of things did resonate with me in this video. A lot of things like “somehow” getting triggered and the shame around that when it happens, the trouble dealing with it and definitely dissociation being a part of it definitely resonated. In my case, i guess i can apply some of the ways different altars stepped in or reacted to my own self-talk and how i treat myself throughout that trigger, or sometimes even how other people around me may respond or support me sometimes. Thank you, i feel a bit understood.
Thank you so much for being so brave and sharing this video and explanation with us of what you were going through during such a vulnerable and horrible time in your life. It was so sad to see how hurt you all were, physically and emotionally, but I’m grateful that you showed us because I’ve definitely been there as well and am having a hard time coping lately too. This helps so much, I’m going to save it and rewatch it again to try to start implementing this into my daily life. A lot of love to you all, Kya & Co ❤
Amazing progress! I really love that you are showing the process and we can clearly see how integrated you are becoming. So proud of you and the work you've done. I love you all, and it's lovely to see you healing ❤❤
So so happy to see you again ❤ It's exactly what I needed today ☺ thank you for your content, always appreciated. Lots of love to everyone in the system ❤
I am so fucking proud of you guys. You have accomplished so much and you have helped so many people. I wanna thank you for always being there for all of us. You can do this. You are safe. You are strong.
love you guys sm
Love you too!
Congratulations upon your video it explains quite what's like to live with DID, seems hard to deal with but you handle it as a pro. Bravo to share it publicly !
Kyle saying "you big babies" instantly made me smile :) Watching this has definitely added strategies to my tool box. So glad to see you guys again!
I’m so proud of all of you , I love seeing this channel grow 💖💖
