#polyfragment

[real-did]

I'm a person with polyfragmented DID consisting of 3 systems (One main, two sub-systems) and it makes me feel incredibly invalid for having so many alters despite being officially diagnosed. Is there anyway to not doubt myself and the others so much?

I’d talk with people or read more about other people with polyfragmented DID. It’s not that uncommon and you’re definitely not alone with this. Having large numbers of alters doesn’t at all invalidate your having DID, polyfragmentation is one valid and well documented subtype of the disorder.

Is there such thing as too many alters?

Not really, no! Polyfragmented DID is real and I want to say 1000+ alters have been reported in people before. Those with polyfragmented DID have subsystems and a lot of these alters integrate pretty quickly in therapy.
