Kit discusses some common terms used to describe the roles alters can play in a DID system. Support us on Patreon! / theentropysystem Follow us on Tumblr! / theentropywe And on Twitter! / entropy_system
Also, something one of my alters said to me- "We may first form to do a specific job, but when said job is done, we may decide to find another one. Just as people change careers, we can change roles."
This was really interesting, especially because we have Littles who do have jobs. We have some incredibly feisty and fierce Little Protectors, and also Littles who are Caretakers of the other Littles. While we don’t exactly know how or why this is how it worked out everyone is more than happy with it.
I really thought it was great that you explained in the beginning that even though an alter may have a certain job, that that isn't all there is to them. I also loved how you explained that littles have usually been around a long time and so they can do things beyond what they are expected to be doing at their age. Love your videos! Keep them coming! :D
Serenity Rayne you have your comments turned off, been wanting to tell you all for a while , I love love loveee you guys and I watch all of your videos Your a wonderful person inside & outside and you are very strong. Thank you for all the videos you take the time and make. I really appreciate them.🌟💛🌟 sending lots of love from Newfoundland
We just recently discovered we’re a system, and I discovered I have a protector who experiences my nightmares. I always thought I just… didn’t have them lol.
Hi, I recently discovered that I have something like DID. Well I'm not totally sure, because psychology is a vast subject, and while I haven't seen a therapist, I'll never be sure of what I have. Buuut the more I learn, the more I believe I have it. It made my life a hell for a long time, because I'm unable to have a normal relationship, even is a part of me crave for it. So thank you for sharing your knowledge with people, you're making interesting, and I feel more normal and less afraid now. I'm still discovering things about me. Every time I talk about it to a friend, they point out things that I hadn't spotted before, and that bring me a bit more to the conclusion that several girls are sharing my body. You're making it even clearer, thank you
"I socialize and I'm charming and everyone loves me and then things move on and they're great" yes, Kit, you are very charming and everyone should love you
Littles exist to catch back up on lost time because of an experience that robbed them of a normal childhood. -Or at least that’s my understanding of why they exist? It’s really quite sweet, albeit a little sad. This is so incredibly fascinating to hear y’all talk about this stuff, i feel like I learn so much about the experiences of people and their interactions and how it can affect us. And really more of an understanding of the human mind and its capacity. It’s really beautiful. It also makes me think of how much work we have to do as a society so that we can treat each other better, when need to truly teach and show our children how to interact and communicate with love and respect - show them love and respect, so they can grow up good and not harm others. Because this is what happens when damaged people damage other people, when adults that were hurt, harm children too. Even tho DID is not merely the messy aftermath of trama - it can be a beautiful and unique experience, but it still shouldn’t have to happen. And it wouldn’t if we treated each other right, so we could all develop right and so on so forth. Anyway sorry about that rant idk what came over me haha, but this was so interesting and your videos are incredible!
I've often told my alters (who mainly present as younger, but can change ages whenever they feel like it) "you're job is done. Thank you for all you did, but now it's your time. It's your time to figure out who you and your interests. Most of my alters are left handed (I am ambidextrous, but was forced to be mainly right early in school as far as writing). Most enjoy music and art just as much as I do. One of my alters, Talyia, has gravitated to the xylophone. She still goes on rages sometimes like when she worked with me, but for the most part she's a kid and is living her life discovering what being a full well rounded person is. One weird thing is that alters (at least Talyia) didn't understand a lot about how we work and why we do the things we do. Maybe because she wasn't out when I was younger and didn't quite develop that way. The first time I cried from missing my then long distance fiancé she thought he had hurt me and got upset with him. "You made her cry!" she yelled at him when in fact it wasn't his fault. She really didn't understand why I cried when we moved 1700 miles to be with him. Again, she thought he'd hurt me. She also didn't understand the butterflies in my stomach and tingling in the chest I'd get when I thought of him or, finally, was able to be with him physically. She assumed I was in pain and, again, he might be the reason. I had to explain all of these things to her. She's super close with my fiancé now and all of his alters as well (he's also DID). In fact she looks at him and calls him dad.... which is so sweet to me. We really didn't have a nice dad in our lives consistently and he's very warm and caring and understanding with her. When she's out with him she presents as a 9 year old which is the age I was when I remember the worst of my abuse starting. I think she does because she's trying to repair and capture the experience of having a loving father at that age. This might sound really weird to some, but... it works.
I am currently working with a therapist to discover my system, thus far I only have conformations of 2 others but communication is going at a snails pace as only the protector (don't know his name yet, only that he comes out when I get a a PTSD trigger therefore calling him by his job) is willing to sometimes communicate. Any advice for a newly discovered system having getting to know each other?
My first bit of advice when trying to build communication in your system is to be patient with yourself. It may take time to learn anything at all about your system. There will definitely be days where it is more difficult than others. It’s just a normal part of the process. There are a few ways we worked/are working to build communication. One is journaling. Whether you write or keep a video diary, try to do this on a semi regular schedule and encourage your alters to do the same. Even now I am learning new things about my headmates and it almost all comes through journaling. Another way is meditation. I’ll sit in a dark, quiet room and “feel” around in my head with my thoughts. I’ll think specific questions like “what’s your name?” and just wait to see if I get a response. It usually comes in the form of a thought that doesn’t feel like it belongs to me. A way to make this a bit easier is to try and picture an inner world. It can be anything from a solar system to a single room depending on what makes you feel safe and secure. Picturing a specific meeting place helps put everyone in the mindset for communication. Our meeting place is a fire pit on a beach. Finally, keep an open mind. What you think is one moody alter may be two working in tandem. You may think you’ve met everyone in your system only for another to surface. An alter may be easy to communicate with and then vanish for a period of time. Like I said earlier, it takes time and that’s ok. Best wishes to you and your journey to healing. -Wyn
Me too at beginning I know o switch s lot but no idea names or what just feels like continuously possessed lose time body taken over mind taken over I in New Zealand and I’m inpatient but not sure if they know how deal with us
I've been watching more and more of your videos, I found you through disassociaDID, and so many of the experiences y'all are sharing are almost verbatim familiar. I'm a bit scared but I'm taking my time and being patient and starting to meditate and reach out internally. I don't want to call anything to early but I did want to let you know how much you're helping with my journey already and even if I end up not having DID you are already making the process less intimidating. Thank you 💕
I love Kit's confidence, out-going personality and high self-esteem; I would love to be more like Kit! (I don't have DID but I do have depression, adhd, anxiety, and possibly bi-polar oh and ptsd.)
I’m so glad to be learning more and more about DID. Y’alls videos are amazing and very enlightening, but also light hearted. Thank you for your contribution to such community
This may be a stupid question, but do alters age up? Like as the host gets older, do their alters also get older with them? Or do they always stay the same age?
Some age like normal and some may be one age for a long time before suddenly jumping to something new. It's not uncommon, however, for alters to not age at all. Most of the alters in our system are locked in at their current age. Then there is something called "age sliding" which is when an alter can present as any age along a certain scale. In our case, our headmate Josh can appear as any age between 3 and 10. -Wyn
I have BP and I can't handle this music, I don't mean to offend but just wanted to let you know and hoping you'll take it into consideration because I reaaaallly want to watch the video
We’ve stopped adding music to our videos since we’ve gotten a number of comments like this :) nothing I can do to change this one of course, but I appreciate the feedback. It helps us shape our content to be more accessible to you. -Wyn
I have not been fully diagnosed, but I know that I have D.I.D... I need some advice. When my mom told me what this was (She's not a doctor but she knows a bunch about stuff such as this) she doesn't think it's actually people, because I have many the main ones such as Amethyst, Alexander, Shadow, Phoenix, and Cordelia (there are more but those are just the main ones ) . Each one has their own story and "Role" as my mom likes to put it... But she is convinced it's just my "Past lives" are trying to intervene in something that they have no place too... Amethyst tried to explain to her and so did I but she still thinks if I just will it away or "Get better" they will go away... I Honestly have no idea what to do.. Because when they come out she doesn't notice them, I have given her papers on a few of them letting her know about them their looks and such... But I don't know how to describe it to her to let her see its not how she sees it.. Any ideas? With my love, Sami
sav noel Thank you, but I have... I let Amethyst come out and try to explain , and she did but she still thinks the way she does. Mind the fact that I am raised in a “new aged religion” house hold....
Heads up for anyone making a video or taking a picture or whatever- DO NOT PLACE IMPORTANT THINGS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN. We see this especially with words. That’s where captions/subtitles go! Deaf/HoH people have to pause the video, remove captions, check the graphic, and turn them back on ANYTIME this happens in a video. Or they just give up. You as a creator want people to have the full experience of your awesome stuff? Move up those graphics!!
Lol. My 'protector' looks like my dad (who was abusive), is emotionally all over the place, and is kinda dating the alter he's supposed to be therapist to. XD Sure, there are times when one of us is better suited than another, but most of us don't really have a job. We're just here, doin stuff
I know you've done almost every title by now, but do you mention introjects? I know that's KIIIND of factive, but Lito's examples in that video of factives were like celebrities and historical figures. But I've heard that introjects can be anything from an abuser, to a close friend, or even a friend's baby reflected into the system. I'm so sorry if I've just missed your video about introjects, but in one of these (I think the part 2) Kit asked for anything missed so I thought I would comment this. I hope I'm not overstepping. I deal with some dissociation myself, but do not have DID, so I can only somewhat relate. Best of luck to you all! You all seem to have a really cool group in your system :) 💖💜💙💚💛 - Kat
Hey! I'm autistic and really live your videos. The music playing in the background competing for your voice is *super* overstimulating. Is there a way for me to turn it off? Idk if u want feedback but taking the music off would make your content much more accessible for me and im sure many autistic individuals 💕💕💕🥰👉🏻👈🏻
I've known for many years of all my personalities. I just found y'all on you tube. Since I can remember I have actual conversations not just in my head. But, vocal only in my home. Does anyone else go through part day also like that? I don't know of anyone with DID.
My protectors are radically different and act like parents My "mom" has her own PTSD and she full fronts when I start thinking of my childhood and not remembering it and has a flashback that pushes her to the front My "dad" stands up for me and gives me the confidence and took on the brunt of the scare little kid thing I did as a kid My little is scared and terrified of people even if I'm friends with them cause everyone we have let in has fucked us over and left us alone.
Hey Kit-Kat! The name’s Alice :) Dude, this video was crazy helpful, thanks for all the info! Our therapist wants me to try and front more often, since there’s alot of us but we can’t really figure out who takes the “host” role best...any tips?? Love you lots, Entropy System! xoxo, Alice ❤️
I don't feel like I an offer any awesome advice in that area since we've never had a question of who is the host. I would just encourage you to be open with each other and try to work off of each other's strengths. Working as a unit is what is most important for functionality but that looks different for everyone. Maybe try playing host for a while with an open mind and just see how it feels. Then you can base future decisions off of that :) -Wyn
Daniel: We dont enjoy the word "persecutor" because one of our maladaptive sysmates will latch onto any negative word to define herself which is extremely harmful.
I really struggling i know I have heaps different parts alters but I nit getting help to identify them first just that they are a part of me even though seem different people in an in inpatient but I dint think they know how to deal wit dissociated trauma parts
There’s really not much of a story to it 😅 we were driving home after a rough therapy session and she found herself in control of the body. She rolled with it really easily and let muscle memory guide her home. -Wyn
The Entropy System Wow that’s cool! It’s crazy she was able to do it from muscle memory, lol. And thank you for responding, your videos are always a pleasure to watch no matter who they are from :)
I got a little (maybe stupid) question. I'm really facinated in the way we get to know the alters, so I was wondering: Do the alters have free will? Like if they were not stuck in your head, would they be different people with their own opinions on different situations? I'm just really interested in that, I see some things I do in things you explain...thanks😊
I know this was long ago but if you’re still curious, Alters can have different genders , sexualities , looks , opinions , and even religions. I have many alters who are atheists, and one if not two who practice witchcraft. It’s hilarious because I’m a Christian lmao. (I fully support their opinions and it’s not like I don’t agree with their statements either-)
is there a word for like a persecutor who doesn't harm the host or body or other alters but rather hurts the system's relationship with other people? like everyone else in the system will have really good and healthy relationships with these people, and this alter will come out and start ignoring or yelling at the people and even blaming them? are they still called persectors? you said prosecutors only sometimes go after the people around so i was wondering if there was a name for alters who specifically go after other people and not the system.
some alters in the system can date other alters in other systems like I know of a system who the host was dating the host of another system and an alter in that system was dating a alter in a different system. I don’t know if alters could date someone who is not a system though
@@autumnsnoop I dated a non system, alters respect that they are all committed to the relationship, although they don’t need to make anything sexual in any way. A common misconception about anyone with alters is that they’re cheaters and noncommittal. Yes there are people out there who are cheaters. But systems are not always cheaters.
It certainly may be! I know that in my system, Littles are the primary holders of the trauma. They’re all the age the body was when they were made and it’s my job now as host to be the caregiver that will help them heal.-Wyn
They look very very different from one another. Michelle has light brown hair and green eyes. Karen has black hair and brown eyes. Josh has bleach blond hair and green eyes. Their faces don’t resemble one another at all. -Wyn
The Entropy System thanks for the response. I've recently been introduced to what I think is my first alter and I stumbled upon you all. I'm really glad. I didn't think there were other people like me (other than my partner who is also undiagnosed) but I have lots of questions now.
Hey guys, I just watched some of your videos (I found them quite enjoyable and informative, thank you for making these.) and was wondering if I could ask you some questions. (There is about 15.) You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to, I’m just supposed to interview someone for my I-Search project (It’s a project where you can research whatever you want and since this disorder is something I learned about a year or so ago and was very interested in learning more, I chose it as my topic.) but I believe it will work if we just communicate through comments. Again you don’t have to do this, I can find someone else and I would hate to make you guys uncomfortable. So if your reading this, I’ll just end it by saying, if you want to respond and allow me to ask my questions go ahead, if you don’t that’s fine, thank you for spending some of your time reading this.
+The Entropy System Hey again, I just want to thank you for answering my questions. Its an honor to have someone like you helping with my project. The answers helped a lot and some even surprised me. I can't wait to finally finish the project and inform my comrades about this disorder as best as I can. I hope you, and everyone of the head mates have a wonderful day!
Personally, I've been experiencing what alters might be recently, and I think I have DID, but I've been getting this one "alter" if you could call it that still not sure if I have it, popping up, named Barry, and he's supposed to calm me down and verbally protect me. Basically I say a lot of stupid things a lot and I don't have a filter, but since Barry has been showing up, he's like that filter for me which protects me from saying something obnoxious unintentionally. I'm gonna ask to get tested for DID and if it is this, I'm just gonna leave that other protector out there.
I notice u let certain alters come out to talk. U say u have 10 & can u give us the names of all of them & how they became & what their jobs are? Thk u.
You'd think that just knowing this was an abnormality caused by trauma would be the key to Solving this issue. Sorta like how people who believe they are possessed need an exorcism, even though it's not real. The brain believes it so therefore it is.
Also, something one of my alters said to me- "We may first form to do a specific job, but when said job is done, we may decide to find another one. Just as people change careers, we can change roles."
That's such a perfect way to explain it!
It’s interesting how Kit speaks with her hands a lot when the others don’t as much.
Bamboo Milkshake lito too i think
This was really interesting, especially because we have Littles who do have jobs.
We have some incredibly feisty and fierce Little Protectors, and also Littles who are Caretakers of the other Littles.
While we don’t exactly know how or why this is how it worked out everyone is more than happy with it.
Our emotional protector is a little. She usually jus cries a lot lol.
“I’m emotionally stable meh meh meh” XD
I really thought it was great that you explained in the beginning that even though an alter may have a certain job, that that isn't all there is to them. I also loved how you explained that littles have usually been around a long time and so they can do things beyond what they are expected to be doing at their age. Love your videos!

Thanks so much. I'm glad I came back to this video or else I wouldn't have seen your comment. :)
We just recently discovered we’re a system, and I discovered I have a protector who experiences my nightmares. I always thought I just… didn’t have them lol.
I genuinely really like Kit, she seems pretty chill tbh.
Hi, I recently discovered that I have something like DID. Well I'm not totally sure, because psychology is a vast subject, and while I haven't seen a therapist, I'll never be sure of what I have.

the robot voice saying i'm emotionally stable is so relatable to when i try to not worry people lol

I am currently working with a therapist to discover my system, thus far I only have conformations of 2 others but communication is going at a snails pace as only the protector (don't know his name yet, only that he comes out when I get a a PTSD trigger therefore calling him by his job) is willing to sometimes communicate.

My first bit of advice when trying to build communication in your system is to be patient with yourself. It may take time to learn anything at all about your system. There will definitely be days where it is more difficult than others. It’s just a normal part of the process.
There are a few ways we worked/are working to build communication. One is journaling.

So terrible that such an interesting disorder comes from such terrible times
Hi kit! You’re super cool! Thanks for the info!!
Clicked as soon as I saw it. I have post notifications on for you guys! ;)

I have not been fully diagnosed, but I know that I have D.I.D... I need some advice. When my mom told me what this was (She's not a doctor but she knows a bunch about stuff such as this) she doesn't think it's actually people, because I have many the main ones such as Amethyst, Alexander, Shadow, Phoenix, and Cordelia (there are more but those are just the main ones ) .

But I don't know how to describe it to her to let her see its not how she sees it..
Any ideas?

Maybe try showing her the diagnosis symptoms for it and pointing out the ones you have?
sav noel Thank you, but I have... I let Amethyst come out and try to explain , and she did but she still thinks the way she does. Mind the fact that I am raised in a “new aged religion” house hold....

Lol. My 'protector' looks like my dad (who was abusive), is emotionally all over the place, and is kinda dating the alter he's supposed to be therapist to. XD Sure, there are times when one of us is better suited than another, but most of us don't really have a job. We're just here, doin stuff
None of my alters date each other...
I’m I have one to like my dad or maybe a few I don’t know
I know you've done almost every title by now, but do you mention introjects? I know that's KIIIND of factive, but Lito's examples in that video of factives were like celebrities and historical figures.

Thank you for this! I don’t think we covered introjects like that before. It’s about time we did a new video on this topic anyway :) -Kim Kim
@@TheEntropySystem No problem! Thank you for your reply 🙂
Thank you Kit , love you!!!
happy holidays
Is it possible to just have a bunch of fragments with no really distinct alters?
thanks-we haven't been diagnosed officially yet but this was a nice video to have
Hey! I'm autistic and really live your videos. The music playing in the background competing for your voice is *super* overstimulating. Is there a way for me to turn it off? Idk if u want feedback but taking the music off would make your content much more accessible for me and im sure many autistic individuals 💕💕💕🥰👉🏻👈🏻
Wow, Kit is so happy and animated. :)
Thanks for the vids it helps in reminding me that we're not alone when I feel down.
I've known for many years of all my personalities. I just found y'all on you tube. Since I can remember I have actual conversations not just in my head. But, vocal only in my home. Does anyone else go through part day also like that? I don't know of anyone with DID.
Yes 💕
My protectors are radically different and act like parents
My "mom" has her own PTSD and she full fronts when I start thinking of my childhood and not remembering it and has a flashback that pushes her to the front
My "dad" stands up for me and gives me the confidence and took on the brunt of the scare little kid thing I did as a kid
My little is scared and terrified of people even if I'm friends with them cause everyone we have let in has fucked us over and left us alone.
Hey Kit-Kat! The name’s Alice :) Dude, this video was crazy helpful, thanks for all the info! Our therapist wants me to try and front more often, since there’s alot of us but we can’t really figure out who takes the “host” role best...any tips??
Love you lots, Entropy System!
xoxo, Alice ❤️
I don't feel like I an offer any awesome advice in that area since we've never had a question of who is the host. I would just encourage you to be open with each other and try to work off of each other's strengths. Working as a unit is what is most important for functionality but that looks different for everyone. Maybe try playing host for a while with an open mind and just see how it feels. Then you can base future decisions off of that :) -Wyn
Music was a little distracting in this one!
I couldn't watch it. Sorry. I do have a sound processing disorder though I'm not just an ass.
Hahaha when I’m feeling super social I am bubbly like Kit :)
Daniel: We dont enjoy the word "persecutor" because one of our maladaptive sysmates will latch onto any negative word to define herself which is extremely harmful.
Awesome video per usual. :D You explained this wonderfully. :) -Ember.
The littles deserve to be littles!!!
Our Persecutor is a woman who carries a clipboard and thinks herself a lawyer.
Thanks Kit!
This is super useful! I'm making a character with DID and the last thing I want is to misrepresent their condition!
So cool. Is your work open to public?
I really struggling i know I have heaps different parts alters but I nit getting help to identify them first just that they are a part of me even though seem different people in an in inpatient but I dint think they know how to deal wit dissociated trauma parts
Really want to hear the story where Mi drove
There’s really not much of a story to it 😅 we were driving home after a rough therapy session and she found herself in control of the body. She rolled with it really easily and let muscle memory guide her home. -Wyn
The Entropy System Wow that’s cool! It’s crazy she was able to do it from muscle memory, lol. And thank you for responding, your videos are always a pleasure to watch no matter who they are from :)
I got a little (maybe stupid) question. I'm really facinated in the way we get to know the alters, so I was wondering: Do the alters have free will? Like if they were not stuck in your head, would they be different people with their own opinions on different situations? I'm just really interested in that, I see some things I do in things you explain...thanks😊
I know this was long ago but if you’re still curious,
Alters can have different genders , sexualities , looks , opinions , and even religions.
I have many alters who are atheists, and one if not two who practice witchcraft.
It’s hilarious because I’m a Christian lmao. (I fully support their opinions and it’s not like I don’t agree with their statements either-)
The background music is a little distracting because it’s so loud :(
Thank you for the feedback. We're still working on mastering sound balance. This will help us in future videos
I have two that are protectors and can be persecutors which can be hard work.
Love your hair 😊
You guys are amazing! Just found you tonight so I'm Defs subbing and turning on post notifs
is there a word for like a persecutor who doesn't harm the host or body or other alters but rather hurts the system's relationship with other people? like everyone else in the system will have really good and healthy relationships with these people, and this alter will come out and start ignoring or yelling at the people and even blaming them? are they still called persectors? you said prosecutors only sometimes go after the people around so i was wondering if there was a name for alters who specifically go after other people and not the system.
I would still qualify that as a persecutor protector. -Wyn
Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Figment or fragment?
Do alters like different people? Like Wyn is married, how does that work with the others? Can they fall in love with another person?
some alters in the system can date other alters in other systems like I know of a system who the host was dating the host of another system and an alter in that system was dating a alter in a different system. I don’t know if alters could date someone who is not a system though
@@autumnsnoop I dated a non system, alters respect that they are all committed to the relationship, although they don’t need to make anything sexual in any way.
A common misconception about anyone with alters is that they’re cheaters and noncommittal. Yes there are people out there who are cheaters. But systems are not always cheaters.
Thank you..
do you feel like littles exist in a system so that the system can experience a childhood that maybe the system felt it didnt have?
It certainly may be! I know that in my system, Littles are the primary holders of the trauma. They’re all the age the body was when they were made and it’s my job now as host to be the caregiver that will help them heal.-Wyn
Good video
Random question: when did you all find your names?
Do the littlest look similar to each other(like siblings)?
They look very very different from one another. Michelle has light brown hair and green eyes. Karen has black hair and brown eyes. Josh has bleach blond hair and green eyes. Their faces don’t resemble one another at all. -Wyn
Can a fragment develop to become a full alter in anyone's experience?
Yep! Daniel started as a fragment. He didn’t flesh out until I was 19. -Wyn
The Entropy System thanks for the response. I've recently been introduced to what I think is my first alter and I stumbled upon you all. I'm really glad. I didn't think there were other people like me (other than my partner who is also undiagnosed) but I have lots of questions now.
Is it normal for an alter to wish to have no role?
Can Fragments become alters in any way?
Yep! Daniel was a fragment until Wyn was 19. -Kit
Does DID ever go away?
Joshua Fuhrman no
Hey guys, I just watched some of your videos (I found them quite enjoyable and informative, thank you for making these.) and was wondering if I could ask you some questions. (There is about 15.) You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to, I’m just supposed to interview someone for my I-Search project (It’s a project where you can research whatever you want and since this disorder is something I learned about a year or so ago and was very interested in learning more, I chose it as my topic.) but I believe it will work if we just communicate through comments. Again you don’t have to do this, I can find someone else and I would hate to make you guys uncomfortable. So if your reading this, I’ll just end it by saying, if you want to respond and allow me to ask my questions go ahead, if you don’t that’s fine, thank you for spending some of your time reading this.
We’d be happy to answer questions! It may be easier for you to message us on our Tumblr though. It’s theentropywe.tumblr.com -Wyn
+The Entropy System Okay, I'll go check it out, thank you for responding!
+The Entropy System Hey again, I just want to thank you for answering my questions. Its an honor to have someone like you helping with my project. The answers helped a lot and some even surprised me. I can't wait to finally finish the project and inform my comrades about this disorder as best as I can. I hope you, and everyone of the head mates have a wonderful day!
Kit kinda reminds me of Jenna Marbles
Dont let her control u
Personally, I've been experiencing what alters might be recently, and I think I have DID, but I've been getting this one "alter" if you could call it that still not sure if I have it, popping up, named Barry, and he's supposed to calm me down and verbally protect me.
Basically I say a lot of stupid things a lot and I don't have a filter, but since Barry has been showing up, he's like that filter for me which protects me from saying something obnoxious unintentionally.
I'm gonna ask to get tested for DID and if it is this, I'm just gonna leave that other protector out there.
I notice u let certain alters come out to talk. U say u have 10 & can u give us the names of all of them & how they became & what their jobs are? Thk u.
You'd think that just knowing this was an abnormality caused by trauma would be the key to Solving this issue. Sorta like how people who believe they are possessed need an exorcism, even though it's not real. The brain believes it so therefore it is.
Nope- persecutors are modeled after the abuser(s).
