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.
I run a worldwide network called the Dissociative Initiative, visit that website for more information, links, and free resources: www.di.org.au
This list provides links to my most popular posts about multiplicity. If you find it helpful, please consider supporting me. Thanks!
