- A shot film about DID.
I am sorry if I offend anyone with this short, that is not my intention. I created this short so that people would not think people with DID are dangerous. If I get something wrong please forgive me I did as much research as possible but of course I am human and get things wrong. I know I am missing so much on the subject still because DID is so complected. However, my teacher gave me a time limit so there is only so much that I can fit in while creating a story. For more information on DID here on TH-cam there is some great channels you should check out like "DissociaDID" and "MultiplicityAndMe". I watch them and they explain the matter much better than I ever could. I just tried to make a piece of art that can possibly teach people a little lesson.
We're kind of sad this doesn't have more views, we have DID and it's hard to find good representation. This is great
We are 30 alters.
Its pretty much the process almost everyone with DID goes through.
Thank you for this.
You truly debunked the stigma.
Thank you so much 😘

As someone who struggles with DID, i thank you for proving we’re not bad or evil
I recently (within the past year) discovered I have DID. It's been horribly difficult and my mental health has been getting so bad that i've completely stopped trying to communicate with them. When I say that when This Is Home faded in I cried, i mean i literally sobbed. I don't normally cry (to be honest it happens maybe 3 times a year) but this made me feel a whole lot of emotions. Thank you for making this. I think this has honestly motivated me to start trying again
I wish you the best and I hope your journey is beautiful.❤
LOVE the visual representation of the alters and how it switches back to the main actress. Very creative! And the actress playing Norma did a very good job.
100% agree!
Um wow dude! This made me tear up and get full-body chills. I want to be a director when I grow up and this was such a masterpiece! Not to mention CAVETOWN! Wow. You deserve so much love and support :)
Thank you!😭💖 I really do appreciate that!
Within the first 10 seconds there is something factually incorrect. We do not shatter, we had never formed a personality to begin with. Our brain put up amnesia barriers between the different parts of what would have been our personality we never formed. Good film, just wanted to inform 👍
Thank you for this. We struggled for a long time after realizing that we're a system, especially because of the stigma. It would cause most people if we told them to assume that we're faking or dangerous. Even some of the people closest have assumed both of those things. Why can't people see us? Why can't people hear us? It hurts when people tell you to your face that you're not real, that everything that you're feeling and going through isn't real. Or treating the people that you share a body with that you've formed a bond with, friends and family, that they're dangerous or something that needs to be removed. We've finally found a community and friends among other systems and we're finally happy that we're a system. We're not a mistake, we're not dangerous, we're just scared and want to be loved and accepted.
And to any new systems who are struggling, don't block them out, help each other. Don't lock them away somewhere in your mind. They're just as scared as you are. I promise it'll be worth it to reach out to them if you can.

This.. was gorgeous! Made me cry.. It really deserves more love
Awe thank you! I really wanted to better explain the disorder to the people around me. And anyone else by posting it here. I appreciate the love.
Wow, this is the first time I see a portrayal of a non-human/animal alter in any short film, film or even a documentary, I loved that detail! Shout out for that!
I’m really happy to see a non human alter
This was beautifully done!
Thank you for sharing. We feel that many if our noodles are like a dog, we identity with what you said about Stockholm syndrome and remaining loyal.
Thank you again.
We have over 60 alters. It gets very confusing. I'm glad you all got brave enough to seek the help needed
love the representation of nonhuman alters! very well-behaved dog lol
We are 103 alters. This made me feel good as a 9 year old alter. Sam
It's true. Littles are the purest little beans, and will always cheer you up :)
Ngl nearly cried when This is Home faded in. I also love how much alter representation this has. Most did content only has adult humans that are either good or completely psychotic as alters but this has littles, animals and alters who start off bad but grow and change just like singlets do. 10/10, wish more did content was like this :)
Such an underrated short, it's quite accurate for us, as a polyfragmented DID system with hundreds of alters
LOVE that you show that just because someone has did does not mean they are violent to anyone else than themselfs/the body❤❤❤❤
God damnit their fear of their diagnosis and what others would think of them already hurt, then This is Home by Cavetown just grabbed my heart and now I'm crying /pos
I'm not a system, just someone who one of their fixations is DID.
I think this is a very sweet film and I hope other non-systems like me can learn to have a better understanding and.. compassion (can't think of a better word that doesn't imply pity sorry) for them.
Nicely done. Thank You.
😭 it's so painful nobody understands but people like us
Very well put together with excellent writing.
Please make more content! This was amazing!!
I love this. Really made some of us tear up :') this is the best short film we've seen so far.
This is really amazing
This was wonderful . thank you for sharing a bit of your story
Great video! You know it's funny, cavetown triggers our littles so our littles got really excited and watched the second part of your video. It's good to see good DID rep out there. We're also a system if you can't already tell by our comment so far. Lol.
Great video keep up the great content! -Annabelle from the Delayney's Expanse system.
Cavetown???! Oh wow. 12/10 making me cry.
Thank all of you for making this. We’re still on the path to getting proper diagnosis. As host I’m scared of the trauma hidden from me. I wish anyone struggling with this disorder healing and peace. ❤
Trauma is not adversity happening to you per se. It is how you experience the adversity happening to you. Many external and internal factors therefore may contribute to the how “extreme” the trauma is, including the frequency of repeated traumas, underlying conditions such as anxiety, autism spectrum disorder may contribute to how extreme or frequent the traumatic experiences are, and may separately contribute to how likely you are to experience dissociation as a coping mechanism. A major factor in the types of trauma that may lead to this disorder include betrayal trauma, shame, and inconsistent behavior on the part of abusers, and the child being attracted to the abuser or firmly trusting the abuser. Also the inability to effectively use fawn, freeze, flight, or fight responses to escape or avoid the abuse. So while some people might have objectively less severe or less frequent adverse experiences the might have sufficient trauma and be sufficiently predisposed to dissociation to develop the deep extensive and frequent dissociative responses sufficient to develop this disorder. Also the “it did not happen to me” denial can contribute to the prevalence of actual alters as opposed to simple dissociative amnesia/repression, no matter how pervasive one’s dissociative amnesia might be.
Several of my Alters want to say hello and thank you all for this film.
this is very beautifully shot
Related a little too much, I love this ❤️
As a system of 16 alters, Thankyou. Thankyou, truly.
theres also osdd (other specified disocative disorder)
Great 👍🏻 but I think it would be nice to put a trigger warning.
i really loved this one
children don't shatter. All children are plural. People with DID don't get a chance to become singular cause children start to integrate around 8 years old without the kind of trauma we had. That's the difference.
Aww I'm so sorry I understand how it feels cause as a system with did I know..
How do you guys know when they appeared?? I don't get it. I was so away...
Esto es la realidad del tid
Thx for doing this. Another did system
Poly fragmented did here :(
Very well done. I hope you got an A+
Like my meya she is 5 years
We love all of you ♥️
