Opening up about my DID

So, I'm not sure many people are aware of this, but I have DID (dissasociative identity disorder). It's hard to tell a lot of people about it because I've had so much backlash (with the negative stigma around it). Basically, I was diagnosed at around 15-16 with DID, caused by early childhood trauma. The trauma never really stopped (emotional / physical abuse, negligence, CSA) and has continued into adulthood with me. It's hard to function a lot of the time without something either positively or negatively triggering something to cause an alter to front. Whether it's music, a certain scent or emotion, all of those affect me and my alters. I get a lot of people asking me if I'm dangerous, my alters are dangerous, and I'm here to say one thing: we aren't. We each have our ways of coping with the real world, or drowning out the negativity. I'm not expecting either positivity or negativity from this post, since stigma exists.

And since I'm writing this post, I may as well introduce my alters.

-Crowley, age unknown. He's one of the upbeat ones, has a love for 70s-80s music and botany. He's very affectionate, stubborn, and to be honest, not very creative.

-Devin, 20. Loves pastel goth, punk, and grunge fashion. Wants to collect vinyls and CDs (we're pretty broke tbh), and adores horror movies (especially 80s slashers). Usually upbeat unless someone provokes him.

-Andromeda, 23. Has a thing for space and astronomy. They wear a lot of stripes and are very sensitive to certain textures of clothing and food. They won't tell you, but they want to start an animal rescue nonprofit. Their mood swings are odd, but usually never unpleasant.

-Iris, age unknown. Named after their favorite flower, Iris also loves botany. Their mood changes based on the music they listen to. Drinks excessive amounts of caffiene when fronting (and ends up regretting it instantly). They're all for everything soft and fluffy, and tends to get upset easily.

-Arris, older than time itself. He loves reading about history, mythology and is the religious one out of all of us. Wears mostly white clothing, sometimes changes it up to something colorful. He LOVES classical music and movie scores (his favorite composer being Colin Stetson). Also loves classical art. (Is the second most artistic)

And of course, there's me, the host.

-Sam, 18. I love everything nerdy, goth, and dark. My favorite artists are Jhonen Vasquez and Junji Ito. I love all sorts of music, my favorite musical artists being AFI, Nine Inch Nails and Snake River Conspiracy. I'm the most artistic out of all of us.

We hope to enlighten anyone who is curious about DID, and hopefully help end the stigma surrounding it. If you're curious about what each of us look like I'll probably post pictures in the near future.

-Sam, host
