May I ask about the processes of any willing systems of discovering their DID/alters/innerworld? May I also ask about fronting, shifting fronters, and communication with alters while fronting? Forgive me if I sound rude, but I really want to understand more about DID.
Can anyone help with this?

Submission: My Novel!
Hi, I recently wrote a novel about Dissociative Identity Disorder, just thought Iâd send the link in case anyone was interested!

Just wanted to put this here. This is a quote from the Clinic for Dissociative Studiesâ website. They are one of the leading specialists in the UK when it comes to anything to do with extreme trauma and dissociation. Theyâre also involved in quite a bit of research into dissociation and D.I.D
Whilst some people with DID have âaltersâ that can communicate with each other, others can experience partial or total amnesia between personality states. Particular events may trigger flashbacks or bring other personalities to the fore. The results can have a devastating impact on an individualâs ability to maintain relationships and jobs and even to carry out everyday tasks.
What was that you were saying about people with DID not being able to communicate with their alters?
(tw: flashbacks, references to trauma) I'm currently experiencing remembrance of various aspects of my childhood trauma and I am finding this incredibly difficult. I feel unearthed, lonely and very frightened. I don't know what to do and I'd like to ask if there is anything I can do to make the process of remembering easier for both me and the others in the system? Thank you in advance.
i dont know many ways to help but if you can find something that you find relaxing that doesnt remind you of trauma then it could be a good help to ground you. maybe a stuffed animal, a familiar song or movie, maybe a bubble bath. it really depends on what makes things easier for you, but if you can find something comforting then it could be helpful with grounding you all.
i hope this helps a little, let us know if it doesnt <3

Facts about DID according to the DSM
Diagnostic criteria for 300.14 Dissociative Identity Disorder
A. The presence of two or more distinct identities or personality states (each with its own relatively enduring pattern of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and self).
B. At least two of these identities or personality states recurrently take control of the personâs behavior.
C. Inability to recall important personal information that is too extensive to be explained by ordinary forgetfulness.
D. The disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance(e.g., blackouts or chaotic behavior during Alcohol Intoxication) or a general medical condition (e.g., complex partial seizures). Note: In children, the symptoms are not attributable to imaginary playmates or other fantasy play.
Source: DSM-IV-TR
So, some people have some very decided ideas on what this all means, and refuse to consider that anything other then their point of view is right. Well, hereâs an overview of what these criteria all means. Please note, this will use the technical terms, which some systems find offensive or triggering. Also, it is specifically related to DID, not other forms of plurality.
A. Instead of having one identity/personality, as most people do, a person with DID has two or more.
B. Some (or all) of these identities/personalities can, and do, take control of the one body they have.
C. Sometimes you could ask a person with DID some of their personal information, and they wouldnât be able to tell you (cos it might not be the main/fronting personality).
D. Pretty straightforward - itâs not an imaginary friend or related to drugs, alcohol, or other things that can cause transient or similar symptoms.
So, where in the criteria does it say that the personalities are unaware of each other exactly? Where does the criteria say that they are completely unable to communicate with each other, ever? Where does the criteria say that itâs impossible to have a personality from a different time, different country, or different world? The brain is a rather amazing thing, and is capable of some seemingly impossible feats.
Now, lets look at the proposed criteria too, while weâre here:
A. Disruption of identity characterized by two or more distinct personality states or an experience of possession. This involves marked discontinuity in sense of self and sense of agency, accompanied by related alterations in affect, behavior, consciousness, memory, perception, cognition, and/or sensory-motor functioning. These signs and symptoms may be observed by others or reported by the individual. B. Recurrent gaps in the recall of everyday events, important personal information, and/or traumatic events that are inconsistent with ordinary forgetting. C. The symptoms cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. D. The disturbance is not a normal part of a broadly accepted cultural or religious practice. (Note: In children, the symptoms are not attributable to imaginary playmates or other fantasy play.) E. The symptoms are not attributable to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g., blackouts or chaotic behavior during Alcohol Intoxication) or another medical condition (e.g., complex partial seizures).
These all build on the DSM IV criteria. So, lets start with the first.
A. Instead of having one personality, as most people do, a person with DID has at least 2. There are differences between them, including behaviour. When going to a psychologist or psychiatrist, these changes might be reported by family or friends,or by the person with DID.(So, people with DID are aware of differences in their behaviours, cognitive functioning, memory, perception, consciousness, etc.)
B. A person with DID has gaps in their memory, not always related to personal information, and not related to the ordinary forgetting that happens to almost everyone.
C. DID causes problems in âimportant areas of functioningâ. Whether thatâs work, school, friends, family, or personal isnât important - the fact is that there will be times that DID will make it hard for the person to function properly in one or more important areas of their life.
D. Itâs not related to a cultural or religious practice, and isnât imaginary friends.
E. Itâs not related to drugs, alcohol or anything that can cause transient or similar symptoms.
So please, go ahead and tell me again that itâs impossible for a person with DID to be completely unaware of the other personalities, to be unable to communicate with them, and so on, when the criteria doesnât cover that. If a person meets these criteria, they have DID, regardless of how much communication and awareness they have, and regardless of what kinds of personalities they have.
Could you guys click the "reblog link as text post" button when you're reblogging long posts so they stay intact and we don't have to rely on someone keeping their url or the original post up on their blog when something gets reblogged? That would be really helpful!
That was my fault. I shall delete and do it again. Sorry!

Please don't feel bad about the DID petition, some people don't believe in psychology. As stupid as it sounds. If you are diagnosed with DID, you obviously are, whether it's in a stupid book or not people need to respect that. But we're all humiliated at some point. I got dragged on the floor with by my best friend, then a bunch of kids where it hurt. Got my shoe stolen and had it rubbed in my nose. But it's part of the story,if life was perfect it wouldn't be half as interesting. Destroying your tumblr is just what people want, but their are many more people that want you here. Just think about it

From the Redgates
After reading the comments to that last post, all I have to say is I'm disgusted and ashamed to be a part of the human race. Â I cannot stand the thought of living in a world where, even though I have been diagnosed with DID, I am still apparently "full of shit". Â At this point I would usually take myself to the hospital to be sedated and put on another shitty medication, but I'm not going to this time. Â Do you know why? Â Because there is nothing anyone can do to fix this feeling of hatred. Â All the medication and therapy in the world would not change the fact that this planet is full of shit for people. Â I might feel better after that, yes, but the world would be the same. Â I would kill myself this second if it would change that fact, but it won't. Â Nevertheless, it's becoming a more and more appealing option the more I get to know people for what they really are. Â As I said before, the thought of living on this planet for another moment sickens me.
Also, knowing what sick fucks you are, I wouldn't be surprised if this pleases you, knowing that you have destroyed what little respect I have left for humans. Â So I will also say this: it wasn't just you. Â Yes, you were there the straw that broke the camel's back, but don't for a second pat yourself on the back because you think you are the only reason for this reaction. Â I don't give any one stranger that amount of power over my thoughts and emotions.
I have also considered cutting myself off from the world, never talking to anyone but my mum again. Â But really what would that solve? Â Ignoring the problem won't make it go away, as much as I would love that. Â God, how I would love to ignore people into oblivion... Â But that's not going to happen.
I can't live in this world, but I also cannot remove myself from it. Â I can't face the reality of what sickening creatures people are, but I also can't ignore it. Â So what can I do? Nothing, but live with the thoughts of how the only "intelligent" life we know for certain exists is the ugliest facet of this universe and that there is nothing I, or anyone else, can do to change it. Â Maybe, if I'm extremely lucky, these thoughts will cause me to lose my mind and I will forget all of this.
So this is my goodbye to the tumblverse. Â This place is too big a source of disappointment for me to come here anymore. Â Oh and everyone? Good luck with that life thing. Â I hope it treats you better than it treated me.

If I sent you a link to a comic that had 2 main 'characters' (a singlet and a plural), would you put it on your links page?
To be honest I think we'd have to look at the comic to make a judgement like that. By all means send the link, and we'll put it on the tumblr. If we really like it we'll add it to the links page.Â

Your petition has me between a rock and a hard place. I really respect that you ID as DID, but I've been invalidated so many times with that label. I signed in the end because you deserve to keep your label. Good luck.
i'm sorry it had you in a tough positition and i'm sorry you've been invalidated with the label before, but thank you for signing <3
