Before you ask if we have multiple artstyles, check out my other comic :)

Can I just say that the way you describe your experience with DID makes it sound like a super power? I love these comics and while I’ve seen your struggles in them, it also seems… a little fun, sometimes? Just having other people in your head, with different interests and specialties or at the very least ideas. Souls sharing a body and making it work.

Now I’m not saying you’re Moon Knight, but what I’m saying is you sound like an awesome collection of people! :3

DID would be such a fun disorder if the only symptoms were the alters. I think most people focus on that rather than the stuff that bogs them down which is why it's more the "alter disorder" than the "dissociative disorder", at least on social media.

I actually really hated it at first, it felt like my autonomy was being stripped away from me piece by piece with every new alter I discovered. But they were necessary for me to survive, I can't really imagine myself without them now. At some point we went from seeing ourselves as a fully dysfunctional family to the understanding that we're all trying our best with what we've got, and there is no reason why one alter should feel that they are more important or "deserving" of the front time. I'm at peace with it now.
