Comment on ChapterDouble Trap - Chapter 53

TO HELP EXPLAIN!! (I have this disorder, so it might be helpful)

 

He has a disorder called DID (dissociative identity disorder). Its basically splitting personality traits into identities. This isnt treatable, and while the identities (their can be more than one or two, I know someone with 200.)- the identities dont share memories, ig sometimes dreams can be more like memories, like shown. This isnt for everyone with did, but often the identities are able to become aware and are able to communicate, through their head or writing or something. Im not able to, which is okay but it makes things a lot more difficult. Dissociation is never timed and it can never be forced, theyre not personalites, thats bpd, this is did and its identities. Multiple people.

Other identities can have other gender identities, ages, names, etc. Therapy is the only current way of 'treatment' and while it doesnt get rid of the identities, it just helps you learn how to live with it and coexist.(if u have any questions, lmk)
