now the basics there are 3 major types of DID

• Dissociative identity disorder
• Dissociative amnesia
• Depersonalization-derealization disorder

Dissociative amnesia is a type of dissociative disorder that involves the lack of ability to recall important personal information that would not typically be lost with ordinary forgetting. It is usually caused by trauma or stress

The second one is what we have dissociative identity disorder may be called multiple personality disorder cuz many people experience the changes in parts of their identity as completely separate personalities in one body so like the parts of your identity are all part of one personality but they are not joined up or working together as a whole but as a system see why ppl call themselves systems now?? and the different personalities are called alters we'll go through it later

DID is not a personality disorder itz just the result of a natural way of coping with sustained childhood trauma :p

and the last one depersonalization-derealization is a type of dissociative disorder that consists of persistent or recurrent feelings of being detached (dissociated) from one's body or mental processes usually with a feeling of being an outside observer of onez life

LIKE WE SIAD THESE ARE LIKE THE 3 WE KNOW THERES LOADZ

we're just gunna focus on dissociative identity disorder because it's quite common for us to come across ppl who have dissociative identity disorder they're a couple on myspace!!

OK SO I'm gonna chuck a bunch of words at you and stuff u should know about systems

ik some systems wnt ppl to ask whose fronting so the person speaking to then will use that alters correct name and pronouns
uh we don't particularly do this we just use one name we're all comfy with
so for the ppl who are like wtf are alters and systems???

alters are like how do I explain this not everyone will agree with my definition but mine works for us
so think of a system/body as a house ok?? that would make the alters inhabitants, the alters live in the house with each other they might interact ours do we're a co-conscious system
RIGHT I FORGET TO EXPLAIN WHTA FRONTING IS
fronting is basically when alter(s) decide to use the body they inhabit that could be for many reasons like the host isn't dealing with a situation well uh they want to read a book idk anything rlly
basically my brains fried and I dunno what else to add
