Meet The Alters! | MultiplicityAndMe

Basic descriptions on what alters are and how they develop within the context of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
Basic introductions on the theory of Structural Dissociation.
Also the alters in Jess's system share what they think about one another in a fun Q&A game!

[@lolpickles1]

I love Jake's voice, it sounds so much like he has the attitude for his voice. Like if you hear his voice he just SOUNDS like a Jake.

[@swordracer]

I love jake because of his energy

[@abracadabra2395]

And he has an American accent! I didn't even realize it at first, because it just sounds normal to me, since I'm from the states, but yeah, it's spot on!

Jake is actually the most verbally convincing guy of the bunch I agree.

It sounds like West Coast U.S.A which isn't thrilling I love the British beauty I guess its because I am trapped in America and I hate it but this is one of the most special women I ever came across through interviews like this.

@@elih6087 2% is a high number. Let's say you're in a room (say a classroom) of 50 people, one person will have it. If you count up a group of 100 people you know, 2 of them statistically has it. I'm not sure if 2% is the current statistic since it seems DID is under diagnosed (could be higher). But if its the case, 2% is not insignificant.

I believe Jamie and Jake's parents spent time moving back and forth between the States and the UK, so Jake sounds largely more American because he lived there longer/most of his life(?)..but I could be wrong, that's just what I think I remember Jamie explaining in his day-out video.

I have did as well, I have 8 active, one semi active and many that don't come out at all. We range from age 24 down to 4 months old. The baby is the only active one that ages. He need to be fed out of a bottle. Oddly enough he can suck, swallow and breath at the same time. None of us can do that but him. I actually tried and damn near choked to death lol Us older ones are a bit harder to tell apart. We don't sound all that different from each other but our look, style and how we move all changes. We have two teenagers and they're normal teens so they're pretty easy to tell apart. There's two children ages 7 and 5. Again they're easily told apart from the rest of us. They walk, talk and look very much like children. Next is the toddlers who are 1 and 2 years old. They are easy to tell apart because well they have tantrums, walk and talk like babies and need allot of care. it's not a easy thing to have, yet it's not hard at the same time. the hardest part is public opinion of us, being called fakes by stranger's... things like that.

@multiplicityAndMe I’m male 26 and I got two females and a non gender associated one just emotionless that I call Michael who was by far the dominant alter for years, in control until I learned about my condition. I had a real bad time coping with life as a male it’s difficult to seek help Michael isnt very nice but non violent more verbal than anything else he doesn’t feel physical pain, (I’ve had many) it is kinda like the character that represents « anger » in the movie inside out 😋 he is around but isn’t violent or distructive anymore! It is the reason I haven’t given up on the other 8 including myself Stephan. We speak different languages from French, English to German with corresponding accents! My wife is my everything! She copes with everyone and loves everyone and there is nothing in the world I can do to ever repay her for being with us.

[@georgerobins4110]

Shannon Mooney It is really rare. Having some alters have a different sex from the body isn’t uncommon, but all of them being boys is pretty rare. I have OSDD 1-b, which is similar to DID but without amnesia, and we have different genders but not to this extent. Host is female, most of the alters are also female, but myself (my actual name is Simon) and one other are male.

[@graceallcock3673]

jeremy clouse erm split is NOT a accurate (not to mention positive) example of DID!! it was so so so harmful to the people who actually have DID and made such a bad social stigma around DID that made the whole situation so much worse. i think dissociaDID made a video about it please watch it. comparing any system to split is so so toxic

[@bellahay5676]

i dont know if he needs prescription glasses or there just for reading but this disorder is so fucking interesting to read about for example one of the people in the system can be deathly allergic to bee stings and other can be just fine and others can even have mental illnesses like severe anxiety or ocd and others would be just fine around people

Not "WEIRD".....its "interesting"

[@evelynegoliver9916]

It's about identity. DID happened to a traumatic person about something bad in the past/childhood. Jamie represents choleric side. Jake represents sanguin side. Ed represents melancholic side. Ollie represents phlegmatic side. Normally people have 2 dominant character inside of them. And the orher 2 secunder character. But DID here we clearly see that Jess has all side as dominant character inside her body. Very interesting.. Try to read this book " Personality Plus" by Florence Littaeur. Important to have. This book can help us understand ourselves, friends, beloved one, spouse, family.

[@rubilynpaguio1711]

You will never be alone. No man is an island

[@angelmason23]

Healthepet veterinaria sometimes when the alters are in the "driver's seat" the "original" is not always conscious so there may have been a lot of times when the original would be in what is referred to as an amnesia state and not know what they ate what they did or who they were with for hours and sometimes days at a time. Most people that get diagnosed usually don't get a proper diagnosis until they are adults and have lived with the disorder for years while being treated for other things.

I was recently diagnosed wit D.I.D. ....surprisingly, at 51😱 It explained so much...missing time, conversations that I Swore never happened and Fights that I'd have no memory of, but would have bruises & such. I used to tell my son to stop kidding around when he'd tell me about Mae Mae,.shes 4 and evidently would play with him when he was little. I've found a great therapist who Specializes in DID & we're currently in the process of 'mapping' Everyone. Curious thing though...I (the host Robi) have Osteoarthritis in both hands/thumbs, both hips, my spine and my left leg & ankle...however, my main Alter Theresa, doesn't...She's the one who CLEANS my house for me😻 Then there's Boudicca...she's the #1 Protector, as in...She Will BEAT your ASS. So far, there's 3 Alters...we're still trying to talk to the one who remembers what happened to me....you see, I don't remember most of my childhood. I can tell you that a certain thing happened, but I couldn't tell you how old I was when it happened. In truth, I have no idea How Many 'we' are. So again.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I don't feel like such a FREAK Anymore!! 😘😘😘😘😘

Amazing how Ed sounds like a Londoner, Jake is American and Jamie sounds middle English, and the closest in accent to Jess. Curious about Ollie, as he wasn't in this... I'm intrigued at the total difference between them. Not just accent, but pitch and tone in voice, the way they look at the camera and the words they use.

I never knew alters could be kind and friendly. This is very new to me. I've only seen negative ones.

[@ser2952]

Prince Peaches that's why we love Jess, Jake, Jamie, Ed, and Ollie. They show what the majority of us are like. Most multiples are kind, decent, wonderful people. Unfortunately the media and even the psychological community tend to portray otherwise.

[@ChronicallyCurious]

Yeah, that's just the media sucking. PDs (personality disorders) are mostly shown in a negative light. It's why so many people get freaked out and are really afraid if they think someone has DID or Schizophrenia (which a lot of people know so little about they oftentimes mix them up). But it's so much more likely for someone with one of these disorders to be a victim of a crime rather than a perpetrator and sometimes their disorders manifest as a result from a crime, or at least trauma. It's very disheartening and unsettling that it's how these things are portrayed. But it's a good note to remember to take everything with a grain of salt, because portrayals are very likely to be way way off from what actually happens for people who have these disorders and live with them day to day. I'm a psychology student and a writer and I'm very interested in trying to create a more realistic representation of DID, so I've been looking at the various portrayals in media. And while shows and movies may be entertaining (most recently Split), they are pretty damaging, increasing the stigma and stereotypes. It's going to be difficult to write something to be as accurate as possible (I mean, from a storytelling perspective, it's quite a few personalities sharing one physical body, and how do I show transitions and discovering new alters and code it so readers can know who's speaking up without having to be bashed over the head with it over and over?) but I really think it's something that's worthwhile. The more people who have the realization you had, the better, and accurate portrayals can do so much good to counter the bad that are continually pumped out to the masses. This is even more difficult than handling an adaption of the life of someone I knew with Lou Gehrig's. But worth it. Keep learning more information, keep curious, and at any point you can dispel some of these myths, I hope you speak up and help lessen the stigma just a bit.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video. The fog is lifting and all is making sense now. Please keep making videos. You are blessed!!! Now, so am I lol

[@nonyabeeswax366]

Where was Ollie? Did he not wanna participate?

[@amandacollins1888]

Lilac Shellshocker that’s what I was wondering

[@lizzistorm7474]

Maybe it's because Ollie is so young?

[@sydneyalferos5466]

Same

[@twiseart]

I’m not sure about this but I think it’s true that until a little while ago, I believe that Jess and the older boys didn’t really want to show Ollie because he was so young and they wanted to keep him safe because younger alters or “littles” can often face confrontation.

[@ABC-ho4te]

"Littles" can be manipulated and forced into doing things that they dont want to do. If someone tells a little that they know their name, their age, their sibling etc etc info, they can have them do whatever. Littles have the same mental capacity as actual young kids and that's why people with DID don't disclose any information on their littles. Its safer that way and helps keep the system safe.

[@ashtenchambliss284]

Two things may have happened - she may have integrated/fused with Hinke to become one alter, or the cognitive dissonance of having her belief challenged might have made her go dormant. Dormant alters may wake up in a few months or years.

I'd read that people with DID could have changes in their voice depending on the alter present, but merely reading about it, it's hard to actually imagine. And this video showcases that perfectly, in both tone & accents. My mind is straight blown. I think it's so awesome also they all know each other so well. Virtually every answer was the same across the board. Its fascinating how the mind can work in an effort to protect the "host."

[@irisanimates6903]

Summer Murphy I’m a female one of my alters makes me sound like a middle aged man

[@ChristLedwithLeyah]

Unfortunately DID isnt something you're born with or you can make up. Real DID is caused by very extreme childhood trauma that has been repeated over a period of time. So, inorder to deal/cope during those traumatic events, the brain goes into survival mode and thus creating the different altars to help you to forget or protect you. Some even have a bit of amnesia during the altars and cant remember what happened because the altar took over.

[@lmTrashT-T]

[@kacreative22]

I LOVE how you make a video talking about your multiple personality disorder and you open it up with happy cheery music and the comments are complimenting and making light of the disorder like it's something that's completely normal.

[@MultiplicityAndMe]

+Say I Love You Anime better that than straitjackets and misery. You can get really crap times with this but that doesn't mean you have to only focus on the bad. I find it much better to focus on the positives 🙂

[@kacreative22]

It's one thing to try and focus on the positives and there's the other...people commenting "how they like your different personalities accents and how some don't abide by the gender norms"..like completely just trying to sugar coat that it's a serious issue.

[@MultiplicityAndMe]

+Say I Love You Anime Because all negativity does is bode to the fact that we shouldn't be able to function or live and have relatively normal lives. The negativity makes me ill, but trying to be positive about my experiences helps me cope. Further more, it's breaking down the stereotype of people's idea of this terribly scary psycho killer illness, but the whole point in this disorder is a defence mechanism - a way to help a traumatised child cope without the memories attached. This is the way I choose to help break the stigma and I apologise if that doesn't suit your expectations

[@kacreative22]

K. I don't think you get what I'm trying to say. It's fine to be positive and I understand everyone has different ways of coping..But I'm saying that it's not good for people to be commenting stuff that possibly could be more harming than helpful. Like saying that you're disorder is cute or applauding the fact that each different one has a unique sounding voice. Like this is a serious issue is it not? then why do people make it sound like it's something that you want to do to be cute or funny?

[@sol_ar_]

I think it's kinda sad that people dont think DID is real.

[@aliasanew3398]

It is very real. But you are not born with it. It develops over time as a defense mechanism. This disorder is often caused by childhood trauma that keeps happening over and over, such as repeated sexual, physical, or emotional abuse. Of course, the causes are often much more multifaceted than this, but I’m giving a brief explanation. It's real but anyone can snap out of it with proper treatment. I guess some people just don't want the voices in their head to go away.

[@MrWereWolfGirl]

The thing is, there are a lot of fakers out there that pretend that they have it and people are sceptic because of that, I know that the disorder is real but I still have a hard time believing that it's real because of so many fakers out there.

[@marinoinc]

Most of the psychology community doubts its existence

[@rainyday4970]

Not if they are properly educated and trained they don't.

I worked in inpatient psychiatry for about 11 years and I have met two people who have DID, and a third person whose diagnosis was in the process of being ruled in or ruled out by the psychiatrists. All three people had suffered terrible childhood trauma. : ( It isn't a diagnosis that anyone wants.

Genesis , This is def not fake, the reactions are genuine and it takes pretty skilled person to pull this off but Genesis you do understand this is already a real thing so why fake it and even if it was fake you can find somebody with this disorder who will do this So no matter what , whats in the video is real and happens to people. The C.I.A did this in 1970 and tried to create alters in regular people it was called project mk ultra.

[@MsMisfits]

That is very interesting since regardless of personalites, they still all grew up in the same region and body so how/why would one of them pick up an American accent? You see what I mean? Not saying it's faked but it's not average. Changing in tone and vanacular is. Not total change in region. Try and think of 5 different people growing up in the same house and room. One wouldn't develop a different accent. Accents are based on region of origin. Just a little confused by that..

[@ThadiusMeyers]

For my psychology term paper, I chose to write a research paper on DID. I have read at least a hundred different sources of studies and research and I definitely believe there is evidence to prove that DID is in fact legitimate. However, I also am conflicted to say that whole heartedly because since the disorder gained a lot of attention after the movie Sybil came out, the amount of people diagnosed with DID spiked 80%. There is also a LOT of evidence of psychologists imposing this disorder on troubled patients due to either a misdiagnosis or a selfish want to say they have a DID patient. I only say this because I often see people diagnosing themselves with this disorder and I fear movies such as Sybil or Split or tv shows like United States of Tara have really romanticized DID. And similar to the whole anorexia and self harm epidemic (teens romanticizing that as well) I get worried when I see young people claiming they have DID without getting properly diagnosed and treated. I only bring all of this up because reading these comments, I definitely see way too many troubled kids claiming they have DID without actually understanding what it means to have this disorder. It's nothing to self-impose on your life. If you do experience some of the symptoms and experiences of this disorder, don't self diagnose. See a specialist and get a proper diagnosis of your mental health. It is not something you should diagnose yourself with.

[@danielmcluckie9596]

I KNOW I have D.I.D, my psych says I don't because I'm aware of my alters... In fact, if she had met me at age 15 (wait, she did - just she didn't listen to me), I would have been D.I.D. I apparently had D.I.D in 2015, yet 2 years later - now I suddenly don't have it because my psych doesn't believe we do. I'm 26 (biologically, I struggle with remembering I'm not actually 15) and have lived with this since I was 15 (to my knowledge), yet my family tell me about age 9/10 is when I "changed" overnight - which I suspect was a 'new host' taking control. I experience this daily, either C-PTSD or any of the various disorders my alters have, and inflict upon my person. ~ hannah.

[@ashwilson2113]

I was diagnosed with D.I.D many years ago and I just wanted to say that I have so much respect for you for making videos on the subject and risking criticism and ridicule to get the word out there. I myself try to hide my D.I.D as much as possible. Those closest to me know about my illness and my partner knows exactly what to do and how to assist me during a switch and how to handle some of the less than ideal personalities. I have a six year old personality and my partner is amazing with her. He will sit down with her and colour in and play games and is so understanding when she can get a bit bratty. She hated smoking and both me and my partner smoke so he has to hide when he is smoking. She can be hard to deal with sometimes because she doesn't understand why she can't be "out" more. My partner has told her many times that he will try to get me to let her play more. You can't explain to a six year old that she looks 29 and as such many people won't understand what is happening and the implications of what happens when she is out at inopportune times can be severe. She's only six and won't understand that so he just tells her he will talk to me about it. I have a twenty year old who is quite judgemental and can make less than ideal decisions when drunk (he loves to drink). He is just your typical twenty year old I guess an loves to skate which is something I'm quite jealous of as I don't know how to skate. All in all I have ten personalities that I'm currently aware of. There is one woman who cannot be allowed out. She is a very angry and violent person. She is eighteen and her name is Carla. I'm terrified of her as are the others. She does attempt to come out but my partner helps to stop it as do the others. Sometimes it is unsuccessful and my partner works around it. Usually a combined effort stops her. D.I.D is no walk in the Park. I can communicate with six of my personalities but I cannot with four. I'm aware they are there but I do not receive a response when i try to communicate with them. While D.I.D isn't easy to live with, my alters saved me through childhood and continue to do so to this day. I wouldn't change my D.I.D as it's a part of who we are and I wouldn't change that. Thankyou for speaking up. There is a lot of stigma associated with D.I.D and it's about time people realise we are people and aren't all crazy serial killers. I respect why you're doing from the bottom of my heart. Keep spreading the word. ❤️❤️❤️
