what happened to Monday definitely resonated with me.

how they have to pretend when they leave the apartment. and get ready to look the same and act the same in the outside world.

i saw this movie called "Completely Normal"

it's supposed to be one of those quirky rom-coms about two weirdos. a la punch drunk love or silver linings playbook.

anyway the female lead has DID. and she's so normal!!! they only show 3 alters but I really liked the way they represented this DID character. the plot is stupid.

for anyway interested in watching it: possible triggers -
her treatment sucks and her sister is pushy about making her take meds to suppress her identity alteration. but there is no trauma or violence. the fam situation could be a trigger though

anyway. i liked this more than any other #######4 thing I have ever seen. two thumbs up.

it won some indie film.awards because people somehow think it's a comedy. 2015 film if you wanna look for it.

there is an independent movies called "five piece" that is supposed to be pretty good.
at least that is what we've heard from DID advocates. not sure if that is still going on, but because it is just now presented on festivals they let DID people watch it for free and to share their views. maybe if you bothered to find them on twitter or fb you could get a link.

I know Ace Attorney has a character with DID,uendo toneido. although I havent met them yet so i cant judge but from what i have heard its done very well (and they dont end up being the villain! DID is just something they have)
