Quick Follow Up From Previous Post-

“Why do alters relate to hyperfixations”

So people aren’t understanding what I mean by this. But I notice that when my friends are into a certain thing, say a certain tv show, suddenly they have a lot of alters from that specific tv show that they are really into at the time. But other alters from maybe other shows or other interests aren’t forming anymore.

The Questions or Confusions I Have About DID and Systems:

And I don’t mean for any of these to come out rude or accusingly, I’m genuinely curious to how this all works

How do you realize you’re part of a system

How do you figure out who the new alters are

Why do the memory gaps happen

Just in general…how does the headspace work

If you can hear the people in your headspace, why isn’t it always easy to figure out who the alters are

Why does it sometimes take awhile to realize someone else was fronting

Why do alters relate on hyperfixations

Does someone have to front at least a certain amount of times or for so long to avoid fading

Why do some alters fade

How can alters that form after trauma be trauma holders, or in general what makes a specific alter a trauma holder

If an alter is a specific character or person why don’t their personalities always match to that person

Also if an alter is a specific person why wouldn’t they have the same knowledge or experience of that person - overall, what aspects of a person carry over to an alter for that alter to be considered that person?

Hey! DID anon here! I can't post links but ( did-research . org ) is a really good webpage, it helped us with a lot of questions and could help you too. If you have any *specific* questions we're happy to help, just post them and we'll try our best to answer everything. It's okay if you have your doubts and I could tell you really want to be supportive, so we're here to help.

It's believed to be fairly common, with 1-2% of people having DID, OSDD-1(a or b), PDID, etc., but because this disorder is so under-researched, it's hard to get the information you need, especially with a lot of misinformation rolling around. Just feel free to ask anything you need under this and we'll make a follow-up answering things!

Thank you and for the other people who are giving me help and support with this ❤️

Since more people are answering to the original post I might make a follow up, likely with just confusions or questions I personally have (that maybe will help other people understand if they’re like me?)

Okay some please please help me believe in DID

Most if not all of my friends have DID and I really want to support them and I do that as best I can, but I really think it’s fake especially since every single one of them is part of a system. I know that it’s a struggle for all of them to deal with everyday but I personally can’t help but wonder if it’s an excuse for their actions, because of how easy it is for them to say “I couldn’t help it, so-and-so was fronting.” I honestly didn’t know about DID until about a year ago, and I met someone who was very open about it, and now suddenly everyone I come across has the same condition. I really want to support them but it’s hard for me to understand it. I’m not part of a system and it’s not something I’m going to try and fake just to be like my friends. But could someone I don’t know maybe explain it and how it works in a way that will make me see it as valid as any other mental illness? Or I could honestly make a follow up post with specific questions to answer about it. But please, I really don’t want to think poorly of people I care about just because I don’t understand their mental illness.
