DID AI FIND A CURE!? I ASKED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ABOUT DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER

[@neckpeck2738]

It's important to remember that ChatGPT is not programmed to give you true answers to questions, but to replicate human speech in an authentic way. It will not give you the truth, it will only phrase its responses in a way that sound very true.

[@Sapphire_Online]

Plot Twist: Chat GPT made this comment.

[@kamamaunillama31]

I keep trying to tell people this when they try to bring up questions about how ChatGBT can help cheat or help with teaching or other stuff and I feel like most people don't realize that!! My friend introduced me to it and said "It's more worried about giving you an answer than giving you the truth". I haven't watched the video yet because I'm saving it for later, but reading the description I'm assuming it's diving deeper into the question that was asked, so I do like this approach (just in case it seemed like I was cricitizing it cuz I'm not)

[@itachis]

Nah it be passing my tests just fine

[@ashleyredsheep]

I find it's less accurate with pop culture references that aren't mainstream, but factually it's not too bad as long as you make sure to have it explain its reasoning.

[@IndigoPuma]

My partner asked ChatGPT about my webcomic, which has been online for 20 years (so, easy to Google). It completely fabricated everything, from making up authors with nicknames, inventing its own characters and going into detail about their personalities, and making up general plotlines. It writes in such a way that it sounds like it knows what it's talking about, but it was 100% rubbish.

[@lablab657]

I was telling me the same thing

[@Ona1979]

I am almost 46 years old and until a few years ago, I had DID. I used to be 13 plus a host. Now I am one. I didn't want to fuse. I knew that it might be the price of healing. It happened gradually. I was so happy that they were here, but I don't feel a loss like I expected. I still feel thier unconditional love and support. They kept me from feeling isolated and I still don't feel isolated emotionally. If I experience another trauma, I hope that I am able to become a system again for as long as I need to. When I was living in the domestic violence shelter, I felt at peace almost 100% of the time. I felt bad for the people who I saw struggling with trauma that they were stuck remembering and I felt bad that they didn't have the inside support that I did. I didn't figure out that I had DID until 2019 when a trauma rocked me so hard that my mind fell to pieces so badly that I wasn't able to hide it from myself or other people, but it made my life better once I embraced it. After that fracturing, my mind worked better and it was easier to cope. It feels like the person who I was before that fracture willingly passed away and I inherited this body, these memories and this life from that person. The part of me that wanted to be dead fell asleep and I decided that neither my husband or family were worth dying for and I dropped any loyalty that I'd had for people who were willing to sacrifice me. My DID becoming severe, fixed me and I still have that benefit even though I have fused. Early on, a nurse who witnessed the symptoms, asked my husband if becoming associative was the goal. I felt so offended that another person was choosing my goals for me, with out consulting me or even addressing me instead of the person who was next to me. I am grateful for your channel. It has helped me understand myself and made my journey easier. I got a response from you to a comment that I made years ago and I felt so loved and so valued. Thank you for this channel and thank you for being you 💚

[@AshChiCupcak]

I find few people who have actually fully fused as I have so it's interesting to see another. I gotta say I feel a bit different about my fusion cuz it happened when I was unaware that I was a system, I just thought I was crazy for the longest time. So when I found out post fusion, I felt so awful that I didn't appreciate them for what they were and what they were dealing with. It still hits me sometimes and I cry from the guilt. It is hard, to be alone when you're so used to not. That was probably one of the hardest things to deal with was having no one left to talk to when things got hard. I know it's a "good" thing my brain felt safe enough to fuse but I still just feel... off.

[@kenacarl6246]

Thank both of you for sharing. Very informative, very appreciated and very helpful ❤️

[@barefootgirl67]

@@AshChiCupcak hi! May I ask how you were fused before you knew you had DID?

[@Ona1979]

@@AshChiCupcak Maybe if you journal the good things that you remember about your alters and your experience with DID it will help you feel closer to the experiences that were beneficial and connect better

[@AshChiCupcak]

@@barefootgirl67 I'll be honest, I'm not 100% sure. Since I was 5, I was aware that there were others, I didn't know why, but I knew they were there because I spent a lot of time in my head. I actually had great communication with all of them while being completely unaware why they were there. Even in all my research, I never came across DID because I had never heard of it so I didn't look. But since I could communicate with them, I started to put the pieces together on my own and did my own healing. I really don't know how, it's hard to explain in words the level of interaction I had with my system that was usually beyond what a host is supposed to know. I don't think any of this answered yr question, I feel like I just rambled. My special interest has always been in the mind from that young age and I spent every second studying it, I was always way too aware of things I wasn't supposed to be. I don't know if that was because of the autism or not but my experience was definitely different.

[@Shadowcat31]

3:33 My partner had about 6 known alters when he started consistent therapy and medication and is also coincidentally around the same time he moved out of a toxic situation and moved in with me where i could support him better. He considers himself fully integrated at this point(Took about 3 years of hard work on his mental health and he couldn't work during that time either) but here is how he described what that full integration feels like, " When I have to do something that an alter would typically have to take over to do before, now it just feels like they are passing me info or if its particularly difficult or triggering its like they are watching over my shoulder and whispering in my ear but not in control." Luckily he's in a stable place right now but im sure if a new trauma is introduced the switching and disassociating would start happening again. I love when you make these kinds of videos, talking about the nuance of DID and just like every person is different so will every persons DID be different. My partners DID and yours are very different in a lot of ways but there are a lot of ways they are the same. They help me be a better support for my partner and has helped us reach the stability we have today ♥

[@kleines_Zaehnchen]

So glad, your partner is safe and stable! I'm sure you are a wonderful supporter and partner as well. Wish you all the best❤

[@L_Aster]

I’d love a separate video on structural dissociation! I’d never heard about it + all those diagrams looked so confusing, but from what little you did talk about it you broke it down in such an easy to understand way. I love the videos you make that have more to do with psychology and the mechanics of why something happens in the brain

[@DissociaDID]

We can definitely do that! If you like the scientific stuff I'd recommend looking at our "tackling trauma" and "debunking DID" playlist!

[@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana]

It is nice to see a theory vaguely close to a model about humans in science 🧪 in general. 😆 We don't have enough of those in every field in science 🧪.

[@graymonk5972]

I actually never considered that final fusion could not be permanent despite it making a lot of sense w/ this disorder. That’s the education I love about your videos! Even little things like that contribute ❤ Edit: Please do make a video about the structure of DID, etc. Edit 2: The video was very informative & had a unique way of using AI. I would absolutely watch a part 2 with far deeper questions!

[@brinrin7029]

I've noticed that you've been happier. I'm enjoying learning about DID. Sometimes I think that my diagnosis is a mistake, but then I think back to a night within the last few months where I ended up in bed for the night but don't remember how I got there.

[@actually_kira]

Yes can we please get a video about the spectrum of trauma within DID and how it differs from CPTSD? As a non system, but familiar with PTSD, I'm currently trying to figure out how to "relate" to your experiences. In case of meeting systems and wanting to be able to support them ❤

[@DissociaDID]

We've actually got a video like this already! There's a few in our "tackling trauma" playlist.

[@actually_kira]

​@DissociaDID @DissociaDID I'm pretty sure I've watched them already? I'll double check though. I was just super interested in the ANP and EP stuff 😊 Hopefully that makes sense! (I'll go quickly check if I've seen the videos) Edit; I've seen all the videos in the past 1.5year. So there's a couple in the playlist I can still watch. The structural disassociation video that was suggested by you guys in the video I would love to see (I'm guessing the ANP and EP will return in that topic.) Much love ❤😊

[@portobeIIa]

@@actually_kira im highly interested in CPTSD (as i suspect i have it)and i would love a video like that too! I didnt even knew people with post trauma stress could dissociate as well besides from flashbacking.

[@hexmo7860]

@dissociadid I'd also like to see a video differentiating between DID and mood swings from BPD, because they're both disorders related to childhood trauma.

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

@@portobeIIa well, anybody can dissociate. There are even "normal" ways all humans dissociate. But PTSD/CPTSD are considered dissociative disorders because dissociation absolutely takes place. PTSD/CPTSD occur when either you or somebody else you've witnessed believes you are going die or almost die. Repeated trauma/abuse/neglect is also a cause, but most cases are caused by sudden experiences. CPTSD is complex post traumatic stress disorder and is heavier and much more difficult to overcome- caused from trauma occuring over a longer period of time. You can also be diagnosed with both, which I was but at different times. First, PTSD, then later on CPTSD.

[@AlexVinder]

I'm always in awe at how incredibly good you are at communicating and getting difficult concepts across. It shows how much work you've needed to put in in order to understand and live with your diagnosis. It shows how important it is to understand language and concepts and hone those skills (as you mentioned in your explanation about how important it is to give children the words to express themselves). I guess it's the same with AI, it only can ever be as 'good' or 'bad' as the input it has been given. I don't know where I'm going with this 😅, I guess I'm just really appreciative of how well you are able to express yourself ❤

[@DissociaDID]

Same with me as well. 😅

[@cc_snipergirl]

I heard someone describe AI as an amplifier. So good people will use it to do even better things and bad people will use it to do much more horrible things. But ultimately what it does is remove our mental limitations. Right now though, it's just a very smart aggregate. A powerful one, but it still can't tell when it's being lied to or when it's wrong.

[@superemillita2710]

I loved this! This is a fantastic updated way of "debunking DID" because it may pull from general misconceptions or lack of awareness/details on the real experiences with DID. Thank you so much for the work you do and the safe and welcoming space you have created! As someone with anxiety disorder, I appreciate this channel beyond belief

[@mirazenker1203]

Thank you for this video, I found it very interesting! A kind of unrelated thing about ChatGPT: My brother once asked it to "write 10 funny jokes". The system copied basic joke structures, but since it's an Ai it obviously doesn't understand how humour works. So we ended up with jokes like: "What did the bear say to the cow? Nice weather today" or "Why did the tomato cross the street? It wanted to get on the other side." I found this hilarious, because they were just that bad. My favourite one was "What happened when the frog's car broke? It exploded."

[@jetrandom7569]

This was the most perfect timing for this video. I’m writing an essay about DID and all the topics I’m writing about you mentioned in this video. Thank you so much, can’t wait for pt 2

Idk if it’s the new medications or if it’s progress in your healing but I can definitely tell that you can keep up your focus and energy throughout the video now whereas before you’d start to dissociate by the end of it.

[@calledmedarling]

YES! a video on structural dissociation would be really helpful. everyone who makes a video on this channel always explains things in very digestible ways and everything is super easy to understand. pls educate us on that theory. also, if you have the necessary information to do so, a video on how trauma is divided up amongst the alters would be super interesting. like how you explained that some alters can hold just smells or sights or sounds, and some can just hold the emotions. how does the brain decide who gets what? how does the brain even decide when a new alter is necessary?

[@Ash_Fall27]

EDIT: I typed this out before continuing the video lmao, and you literally touched on this oops😅 When it mentioned the whole "genetic predisposition" thing it reminded me of an interesting correlation I've noticed (and personally experience) of a good chunk AFAB systems that I've seen talk about their experiences on the internet also having late-diagnosed autism. Obviously this isn't a case of causation, autism doesn't cause DID lol, but it would be such an interesting study to see the frequency that this happens. Autistic people have that ability to dissociate at a much higher level than their allistic peers, growing up undiagnosed is inherently traumatic according to professionals, and autistic people are statistically more likely to experience repeated trauma on top of that. Obviously I'm not a mental health professional in *any* way, but as a system who is in an AFAB body and has late-diagnosed autism it's super interesting to think about!

[@mylifewithmarmalade4624]

100% not only does having ASD mean you likely also have some CPTSD going on, especially if you were late diagnosed; I was also thinking about how while most autistics wouldn’t use the term dissociation, most (especially high maskers) have experienced that “Brain.exe is not responding” need to just run away from or ignore EVERYTHING for a while and stare off into space for a bit when it’s all just been way too much and the brain needs a moment (or a few hours) to reboot. Sometimes this gets called autistic shutdown. But maybe a better term would be autistic dissociation, because I think there is a solid argument to be made that it is in fact a type of dissociation.

[@atlasdrakos4510]

hello to the system! im sorry that i havent actually managed to watch this video yet - depression and adhd blocks have been hitting me hard! but i once again thank you for your videos and all that you do to inform us. i love you all so much, thank you for giving me a safe place to heal my soul - i desperately need it. lots of love

Some of us want fusion and the others don't, everybody with their own very personal reason for those interests. Namely, fusing is part of our healing but it isn't and does not have to be the endpoint. :) We just want to be healthier and more cohesive. As a scientist (Taly) I love the prospect of AI but it has its limits and can be used irresponsibly - but also for a lot of good. It's not something to be taken lightly or at face value.

Fawn or freeze is our primary experience as well but we have alters who exist for each fight, flight, fawn, and freeze individually. Also flight doesn't always mean physically escaping a situation, it can mean escaping into the mind through dissociation, maladaptive daydreaming, and switching into the inner world. Because what is most safe in each situation depends on what is happening and who with. Children, especially dissociative children, are so perceptive when it comes to how they respond to trauma based on what's happening. We are wired for survival from day one! And even if a child doesn't understand what's happening, their brain can and will adapt for the best chance of survival in given situations. And this is true outside of traumatic situations as well. For example a newborn rooting to find milk supply. The baby doesn't logically know that there will be milk there until further in development. It exists purely off of survival reflexes, instincts and sensory exploration (being able to smell the milk). And I think this is where the genetic predisposition can come into play. Those of us with this predisposition...our ancestors used dissociation in order to survive and it was such a useful evolutionary tool for them that it finds its way down the family tree to us. Once we saw an ignorant person on tik tok say that dissociation is not useful for the survival of our species. They probably only viewed it as "shutting down" and being unaware of surroundings. Which can indeed increase the danger a person can be in in certain situations for example crossing the street. But that is not all dissociation is, and the cause of pathological dissociation at its most basic purpose is for exactly that, survival.

[@jojoo1702]

Really interesting video as always! :) Also found the point you mentioned about telling children the right terms for their anatomy really interesting! I never really thought about it but it is actually so important because most children don't know that it's wrong and not supposed to happen and just say vague things that happen which adults deem as harmless. However, if they were able to use the right terms to say where they are being touched for example it would definitely help in raising concern in adults. I just thought about this because I saw a law in the US about not being able to talk about periods in school before grade 6 or something and how devestating it can be to not be listened to by adults especially when it's about something that is scary and unknown. I really think educating about these things is crucial so thank you for doing more than most schools will!

[@wereshnefer]

Something that just caught my ear was that it takes 8 years on average to get a DID diagnosis. I'm curious as to what sorts of disorders present similarly to DID but are not.

[@DissociaDID]

Lots of people get misdiagnosed with BPD, schizophrenia, psychosis etc before DID is even considered

[@Judoka26]

Or in my experience it's a gradual discovery of it all. I was first diagnosed with Depression, than later came (C-)PTSD, then followed a misdiagnosis of Histrionic Personality Disorder which was later removed and finally came a Diagnosis of OSDD 1b

[@_Myriad_]

Im on a similar journey to larissa. Not diagnosed with DID yet but i was diagnosed with anx and depression at age 13, then ptsd and bpd at the same time around age 20 (when i started taking my mental health seriously and realised something wasnt quite right), then cptsd at around age 23, and am working on getting to a point with drs where i can explain more in depth how those symptoms effect me and bring up the idea of alters to them. So 10+ years ive been 'waiting' for my diagnosis, and still working on it with the drs. I only found out about my (probable) DID around 4-5 years ago, i didnt know what it was before then so i think its just as likely that instead of these previous things being misdiagnoses, that they are just symptoms of the dissociative disorder i didnt have the language to describe back then, that have earned their own diagnoses. I hope that made sense! Edit for grammar

Totally unrelated, but you guys look FANTASTIC in this video! In terms of seasonal colour analysis, I think you're a winter. So you have high contrast (from hair to skin tone), are cool toned (more pink than yellow/orange), and sharper clear features like eye and lip shape. So what's working for you here is the: - bold bluey/pinkish-red lipstick (rather than orange toned), - black and cool toned sweater, - crisp lines/contrast, - mild eyeshadow leaving most of the definition in the eyeliner, - winged/wispy lashes emphasizing and flattering your large, friendly eyes - and spotlight on the lipstick is all really flattering for you, emphasizing/polarizing/complimenting your own features as opposed to hiding/going against/contrasting your own features. Of course you can wear whatever you like but I'm really into color analysis so thought I'd mention it and how nice it looks! ❤️

This is so interesting and such a great idea. thank you for all your work updating info. Our system will never fuse and recently had three new splits. Our goal isn't final fusion, it's full co operation. The littles remember seeing 'skits' about this on Seasame street! so they automatically knew that co operation was the solution. Where aws the older ones took time and therapy to learn this.The recent splits did freak some of us out a bit as it's been YEARS and years since we split. It's so comforting to know that this is just normal... NORMAL for us, and not a sign we've "regressed" or relapsed.

This was an incredibly enjoyable and informative video and I would love to see the other questions you asked. Having someone be able to break down all the long and wordy definitions, while also pointing out "mm, that's close", "eh, not quite" or "yeah that's accurate".

@@DissociaDID Hate to also write this but if not black, using AAVE, passed off as "millenial", "genXYZ", and/or "internet slang" can be harmful to the community as it spreads if people, unaware learn it from non-black people and contributes to misappropriation, and due to misunderstanding, black-erasure and popularization to exploitation?

I know this is a little off topic, but I am LOVING the new plants that are slowly showing up in each video. As a fellow plant parent, I am JEALOUS of that palm!!! ❤❤

this was so fascinating!!! and incredibly educational and validating as always. thank you so much for what you do. 💗

This was a really interesting video! Interesting angle to take when educating about DID. Very engaging and fun

[@DissociaDID]

Thank you very much!

[@PastelPaige]

I’m not sure this was my favorite type of video, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Thank you for always posting as it always makes me happy when I see the notification that you posted. Could you guys please make a video of anyone who is interested of taking the Meyer’s Brigg test? Thank you and love you all so much

[@DissociaDID]

Sure!

[@PastelPaige]

@@DissociaDID Thank you so much! That just made my day!

[@georginikolov5665]

It was very interesting to see the AI's answers. I'm waiting for part 2!

[@stacycook82]

Im so sorry that you all experienced such levels of trauma in childhood. I don't have DID, but I am always trying to learn as much as i can about various conditions, while i will never be able to fully comprehend I hope i can gain some form of understanding and be empathetic to others struggles in life.

[@therealzahyra]

As someone with CPTSD I often see how close I was to splitting back when I was a kid and the older I get, the more thankful I am that I didn't (not that there is something wrong with it, it's just a scary thought with the amnesia). A video fully explaining the science behind the evolution of severity of trauma would be amazing, thank you 🙏🏻 P.S. I use ChatGPT-4 for a lot of things so definitely interested!

[@jacquibrown9289]

I would be interested in seeing all the questions you asked it! I have OSDD but am also a data engineer, trying to build a ChatGPT to help people with mental illness. I would be interested in both what you were prompting it with and it's response.

[@alysmarcus7747]

This was really great, to be honest Kya , we really enjoy hearing your way of describing things - for example more than one 'alter' for an experiance. I have a sizeable poly system - with that the communication is really good. Often i was finding after a flashback and doing some self chat work - like IFS methods that i will find someone knew. Then if that same flashback comes again, it's like 'sorry, did we not settle that ?? - Then i find there is someone else. The phone call "that's shaken me out of my groove!" That was funny. As always grateful for all that you do. - cheers Alys

[@alrighttumbleweed4782]

Loved this! What a cool idea for a video! Yes please for the structural dissociation video!!! I am particularly intrigued about the updated DSM5 for PTSD specifying a dissociative subtype and whether this would affect structural dissociation in a similar way? Thanks for everything you do!

[@alanahall7720]

I would love to see a specific video on structural dissociation! I think it would help a wide areay of people unferstand their own trauma and/or dissociation, and also help others have more understanding for those who do dissociate and what it can entail

[@inescosta2671]

Glad to see you so much confident in this vd!

[@leaf143]

I agree with the beginning part of the vid where they talk abt how different systems or just different variations of mental illnesses may need less care than others or have different goals when in care. For example me myself as a Level 1 Autistic can function in daily life almost similarly to a neurotypical, its just that I have trouble in some areas (like communication, cognitive empathy, and connecting/relating with others) and can function just fine in others (can be flexible with my routine or occasionally not needing a routine at all, doing a similar task but sometimes in a different way) but another ASD level 1 person might find it the opposite way. And lets not forget about level 2 & 3 autistics, who have a more severe case and need more help in their daily life. This is why Autism is listed as a Spectrum Disorder. In a way, almost all mental disorders can be considered to exist on a spectrum of their own, because one person's struggles with a disorder might not at all be similar to another's struggles with the same disorder. Another good point they brought up is how the goal for DID isnt always fusion of all fragments to become a singular personality. An example of this is my bestfriend who has schizophrenia and previously had DID, but her goal wasn't to fuse her fragments all together. Instead she was able to communicate with her alters and was able to come to a consensus with all of them to stay dormant, and since then she hasn't had a switch. While that may sound not fully believable, remember, it's different for everyone who has it. Just wanted to share my take on the beginning cuz it was interesting.

[@shellfx3542]

Very curious how the tricky questions went.. thank you for another lovely video! ❤

[@bythechelseashore]

I never would have thought of this topic, it was really cool to see how it responded. Also love Kya's outro. I hope they and the system knows and never forgets that there's thousands of people out there that love and care about them and are happy they are here. Can't wait for the next one. Also I thought of this the other day and thought it was funny: growing up I went to church every Sunday. Now ex religious I watch Dissociadid every Sunday

[@DissociaDID]

Haha this is so sweet, thank you!

[@joanneday3380]

Regarding the subject of different types of dissociation, I wanted to ask if you could maybe do a video covering PDID (Partial DID) and information regarding it :0 it's something I've seen maybe a couple things about online but there's really not a whole lot, and if you feel fit to talk about it in an informative way I would so appreciate it. I've been struggling with my mental state and trying to figure out if I have a dissociative disorder of some kind, and it's something that upon first hearing about, I related to a lot of the key features of it. Thank you for all the amazing work you do

[@tianna.haynes]

Just me that picked up on how polite they are (sorry not sure if thats the right pronoun you're using, please correct me so I can correct it!) on the phone. I honestly love how soft your voice is, it's soothing to me. 🥰

[@DissociaDID]

That's how we talk to everyone irl 😂 thank you! ❤️

[@bhsprinkle]

Informative. Thank you so much Kya. There's so much fear when it comes to how advanced AI can get and what it can do. Also, what it can take away from us. It's nice to see how you can discuss what it tells you and pick through it's accuracy and inaccuracies.

[@LenaFerrari]

Really interesting! I'd love to see the rest of the questions

[@CuriousNYButterfly]

Thank you, interesting video ❤

[@ceyes00]

Im gonna say this you look good like you are literally shining. Also asking AI about DID was very interesting.

[@thatgirlrachyy]

This was a good informative video. I feel like I could relate to some of the information from a non system point of view. I have childhood trauma and only recently got diagnosed with PTSD and Depression. I never fully realized how most of my symptoms are related to experiencing childhood trauma and surviving. Obviously I have other unresolved emotions that are related to both my dad physically abusing me and then him leaving this world. Love you guys and you have helped me to want to do therapy and heal.

[@voiceinthedar_k]

it'd be cool to have an uncut version of some of these videos, i can notice the rapid cuts which im assuming are switches mid-video and it would just be cool to see like an uncut version of one of these videos.

[@Marc16180]

I had asked ChatGPT for some positives associated with DID. I expected it to refuse, but it came up with a wonderful list. Below is its output: 1. Resilience: People with DID have often endured significant trauma in their lives, and the fact that they have survived and adapted to these experiences demonstrates a considerable level of resilience and inner strength. 2. Creativity: The process of creating and managing multiple alters can be seen as an expression of creativity, and some individuals with DID may be particularly talented in artistic pursuits such as writing, painting, or music. 3. Empathy and compassion: Having experienced trauma and adversity, people with DID may develop a heightened sense of empathy and understanding for others who have gone through similar experiences, making them compassionate friends or supporters. 4. Problem-solving and adaptability: Living with DID requires individuals to navigate and manage a complex internal world. As a result, they may develop strong problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt to different situations quickly. 5. Diverse perspectives: Each alter in a person with DID can have unique perspectives, experiences, and ways of thinking. This diversity can sometimes enable the individual to approach situations with a wider range of viewpoints, potentially leading to more effective problem-solving or decision-making. 6. Increased self-awareness: The process of therapy and self-exploration for individuals with DID can lead to a deepened understanding of oneself, one's emotions, and one's relationships with others. This self-awareness can be valuable in personal growth and development.

[@anonKur1a]

I just came across this channel and I feel the need to confess something. It may be dumb, saying random stuff about my life to strangers, but anyways, I feel compelled to do it. Last year I found out a friend I had since kindergarden, my best friend of all my life, has DID. They had it for so long but nobody ever knew until she was already 17. I had since been confused and found it harder and harder to reach out to her, talk to them, feel like we are still friends. Highschool is over and we went about our own lives, last year we barely saw each other less than 10 times. Since she told me about the names of some alters she has, I felt like she became someone I don't know. Like a stranger. I always felt like I knew her more than anyone, now she tells me the name I always called her is not even the name of the host. Why, why do I have to think abut how confused I feel about it, when they are probably more confused and scared than me... But I can't help it. I wonder if her alters don't like me, if there is still any of them that thinks about me as friend. The worst thing? When I decided to support her and try to be more present, my dad heard about her DID and some things she has done on internet and has told me to not see her anymore, that she will be a bad influence, that I do not have to "cure" others, he told me to GET NORMAL FRIENDS. How. Why. I am 19, for the love of god, I can think for myself, I am not a child. Since that happened, it's been 4 months that I didn't see her. I've been so lonely without my friend. They were the only ones to really stay with me in middleschool, and now I left her alone. I've been watching your videos today. I feel like a lot of things you do, like when you dissociate, my friend always did and I never understood why, why suddenly she is not talking, what should I do, am I boring, does she want me to leave, is she mad. Now I feel like I was a fool. I don't care what my father says. I am going to talk to them tomorrow. Even if they are now not exactly the person I throught I always knew, I want to get to know whoever they are, and if they ever want to let me, I want to know about the alters they feel confortable showing me.

[@lunxhart5372]

Would love to see a video on the structural dissociation. I'd even love to understand why it even happens and how/why the brain splits into identities.

[@itsemmaelise]

Psych academia/research person here 🎉 Would like to see more of your take on structural dissociation! It is still newer research wise, so I’m curious what you’ve found. Same for poly fragmented systems! Also I believe chat gpt said final fusion was the end goal because most of the training and literature for treatment is based on that as the end goal. however we are also trained that final fusion is rarer, and basically to strive for functional multiplicity. Like a stepping stone to final fusion, but also a great goal nonetheless. So chat gpt would have been reading stuff probably referring to the “goal towards final fusion” but lacking the context gained IRL about how functional multiplicity is part of that goal! Hope that makes sense 😅

As a psychology major (I've been following yall long before beginning university) I was excited for our dissociative disorders unit in the Abnormal Psychology course. Unfortunately, I found that many of my classmates lacked understanding in our shared study guide document, even with out decently organized textbook. I ended up editing a lot of the answers people wrote(which is suggested), so that people would study more accurate material. Additionally, we spent such little time on DID in class, despite its controversy in the field. I remember taking my friend in that class home and introducing her to the channel, which she loved. Changing hearts and minds one day at a time!
