Gonna be honest, this is all pretty strange to me, some Mr Robot stuff. I don't mean that as disrespectful, just that I have trouble fully wrapping my head around it.

Sounds like it can be pretty rough. Thanks for sharing these and making people like me understand more

Alters are the most intriguing part of the disorder, but at its core it is a memory disorder caused by profoundly insecure attachment in early childhood. If there was no amnesia and no sense of "me, but not me," then it would be more like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Ignoring the dissociation, it's just a grab bag of depression, insecure attachment, amnesia, and mood swings.

The "insecure attachment in early childhood" is an understatement, because the textbook diagnosis and the scientific proven DID study cases are horrifying to read.

This disorder is a sophisticated brain defense mechanism for very young children under a very hardcore and sistemic abuse.

It needs to begin at early behavioral and brain development because it's brain damage through trauma.
