You have made it to a mental health site designed especially for those newly diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, other wise known as Multiple Personality Disorder. A disorder associated with chronic childhood trauma and abuse.
Healthy childhood events and memories are processed and stored in the mind forming the original personality of a child. If during these early developmental stages of the personality; a child is repeatedly traumatized with out ever having a chance to recover or heal from traumatic episodes then a dissruption in the development of the personality may occur. Traumatic events or memories are stored in the conscious, but kept seperate or severed from the other; healthy events and memories. With continued abuse these severed sections will form and develope seperate personalities (alters) that will go undetected by the main or dominate personality causing unexplained disruptions and memory gaps as the mind switches between these levels of consciousness. If you have been diagnosed as DID/MPD, I would like to share in your healing journey and be support and friend to you. A warm welcome to you as you enter the only world I have ever known. Selves~
