Dissociation portrayal in anime

I like anime and I know ones with multiple personality/identity stories.

I have decided to list them here and grade their dissociation portrayal.

Yu-Gi-Oh!; A for original story, B for spin-off stories
Mitsume ga Tōru; B just because it has not quite sit with me
DNA2; A if take in mind that it is some bland of OSDD and DID elements
DNAngel; B because they do not delve that much into DID/OSDD elements
Rosario+Vampire; A ...

Dissociative disorders and unspecified psychosis episodes

It seems that every time my system gets into some kind of disarray, I enter state of what psychistricts recognize as episode of unspecified psychosis. Could this be related?


Help creating a contract for my system

I've learned creating a contract is somewhat common practice. We are looking to get on the same page and grow. Because we are without names, ages, or genders we see who agrees with or understands what the rules/expectations are as a way of feeling familiar with each other. I'd like to hear from others who have created a contract for their systems! What type of stuff did you include?

Seeing a new DID therapist

I have DID. I have at least 4 Alters I know about. Lately I have had severe dissociation and I just switched to an alter that hasn't been out for months. I reached out to a DID therapist to get help. I'm not sure how to go about talking to her about my system. Sometimes I wonder of it's real or not while other times I know it's real. I'm not sure how to explain ...

Think I have did

I’m currently diagnosed schizophrenia- but I think I have DID..

Reason being (I think it’s slowly manifesting) there are many times I’ve blacked out, missing time!


When travelling abroad I never know how I get home.. my awareness starts to fade away (this comes back to me a few days, months afterwards) but I can never remember the end of the holiday (this seem to be a trigger for me.

It almost feels like I’ve ...

DID and Dating help.

Hi there,

I'm new here and part of a system. Though we're not new, our host has only recently become aware of us. Our system comprises two other alters, one being a little and myself.

Our host has been dating someone for a few months, but he and I have developed feelings for each other. Ironically, I was the one who introduced them before we became friends.

The issue arises because our host doesn't want ...

DID masking other disorders

Hello everyone,

Trigger warning, possibly, for suggestive language associated with depression and psychosis.

I thought I'd post this question here instead of my journal. Lately I've started to realise just to what extent my alters have tried to make me seem "normal". Our failed therapy was also aimed at us/me fitting into society better rather than healing and feeling safe. I suspected they helped keep up appearances but only now do I get just how ...

Help assigning "jobs" to my alters

Within my system alters want purpose or to "do". They would love to have a job which would help them feel useful and satisfied. So far we've only thought of the following: motivator, narrator, and conflict resolution specialist. Please let me know what jobs your alters carryout of hold! Also I'm interested to hear how y'all handle this topic internally in general. Thanks!

Alter(s) not wanting to go to therapy

I've technically been diagnosed with OSDD-1 and not DID. If it's against the rules to post here, feel free for the mods to move this to the other subforum. However we have a bit of every day amnesia but it's not complete amnesia, I wasn't even "completely there" when being diagnosed. I also use I and we interchangeably.

I've not been being able to sleep well tonight. I've been able to manage my depression and ...

Host and Fictive fused... now I am here, and I feel very los

Hello, I am a new host and I've found myself in a situation that I don't know if I can come to anybody in my life to express and process. I think, in a last ditch attempt, I want to reach out to others that have gone through something similar. I'm feeling really intense feelings right now and... I don't know. I don't know what to do.

The previous host was a long tern host, ...
