@erinrackham: It’s nice to have clarity about these past moments of confusion and disorientation now that I understand my dissociation better. 🙏🏻 When I was first diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID), I didn’t know if I’d ever be able to really feel peace and trust myself again. Everything just felt so out of control when I was first waking up to how often I was dissociating every day. ❤️🩹 It’s taken a couple of years of weekly therapy and a LOT of practice slowing down and helping different alters unburden & feel safe in this current physical reality, but I’m starting to feel confident in my ability to cope with life again—even if it’s just in tiny ways to begin with. 🙌🏻 It’s hard to do life consciously when all you’ve ever known is unconscious living. But it’s incredible to *actually* feel in control of my life for the first time ever. I almost never go into “fawn” trauma responses anymore and it feels amazing! 🥹 #dissociativeidentitydisorder #did #dissociation #dissociationmadesimple #cptsd #traumarecovery
Been an incredibly silent watcher for awhile, as a system that prefers to heavily mask and ground in day to day life as a “single minded” person it was your page that made me, all of us,feel more sane

Felt- needing to know its DID! I’m only 22 but when 17-19 yo. Alters front it’s jarring more than the younger ones somehow- it’s wild how much growth happens in those few years!

I'm unsure how I feel right now, because I started watching your videos when you had the OSDD diagnosis, and really related. But lately, I hadn't seen you much.....but have been relating to other/

so you can have did and not have huge gaps in memory and still perceive it as you/host the whole time even during switches?

Can you explain the “slowing your life down” part. I’m juggling a million things and my system is very stressed. We’re switching constantly and it’s very painful. We’d love for things to chill out!

It really helps to hear you talk about your experiences with dissociation. It helps me not to be so lost and more accepting and understanding of myself. Thank you for being so brave and articulate.

do you think DID alters are your brain using neural pathways from a time in your life sorta? like they each have different pathways that are “easier”?

were you aware while it was happening? Or did you regain this memory some time afterwards?

I think I have DID and I’m scared. I’m so exhausted all the time and I know I have so many parts that I’m too exhausted to give time too, which panics me more. Any advice on how to deal with this?

Thanks for sharing. I learn a lot from your videos and it is also nice to see the realities of DID that isn't dramatized for media
