I was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (‘multiple personalities’) in 2007. I am still multiple but now live well, no longer impaired or distressed. As a result, I don’t fit the DID diagnosis any more. We don’t have a language established for people like me, so I’ve developed my own.
You know what there isn’t enough of? Good resources on Dissociative Identity Disorder/Multiplicity!
Here’s a very good one, endorsed by two friends of the blog with personal experience, research, Good Politics, and good heads on their shoulders!
If you like what you’re seeing here, be sure to stop by the author’s organization, The Dissociative Initiative (”For, by, and about people with multiplicity, dissociation, and amnesia“), for more resources and ways to connect with the greater community.
And if you don’t know much about DID? Please take a moment to educate yourself, and help fight the stigma that b.s. movies like Split, Fight Club, and Me, Myself, and Irene keep putting out there into the world.
