The Total Guide for Dissociative Identity Disorder

I thought to post more in this forum when I joined, but I have eventually figured out my disorder and removed it, so I have decided to share it with everyone how I did it. Following is abstract and concrete explanation of each aspect of the disorder.

The Cause of Dissociative Identity Disorder

• [abstract] Linear "identity oppression event(s)"; "the latest identity" is oppressed by "an oppressive event", which causes "the extra identity" to arrive; oppression starts with "the main identity".
• [concrete] "Identity" consists of "stability/digression life", meaning "root reason for living" when "human takes regular/optional path"; not to be confused with "functionality/depression life", which is "accepting/rejecting stability or digression life", depending on whether human is currently on "regular or optional path". With that explained, prior to "the disorder" human has "1 sector of body and mind", but during the disorder human has "N sector of body and mind", where it applies that "the disorder" operates on "stability life". To conclude and thus explain, humans's "latest stability life" gets oppressed by "an oppressive event" and human gets additional extra "sector of body and mind" with "predictable themed stability life" and "unpredictable fallback digression life", where "themed stability life" means that "internal/external source of oppression" creates "supporting/negating themed stability life". In other words, "internal/external source of oppression" creates "supporting/negating alter", and process ends with "extra alter" that is "final extra alter" and thus will not get oppressed.

The Units of Dissociative Identity Disorder

• [abstract] "When Identities Divided; memory of other inaccessible, switch to other uncontrollable" or "When Identities United by X; memory of other by demand, switch to other by individual layer"
• [concrete] During "the disorder" there is "intro/main/outro phase", where it applies that when "the disorder" starts, it can be in either of those three phases; while the phases denotes: "intro" is "when identities divided", "main" is "when identities united by something without individual development", "outro" is "when identities united by something with individual development", where the most common "starting phase" is "main phase". To conclude and thus explain, before "identities find something to unite them" and "hold on to uniter tightly", each "identity" has separate memory and switch happens unpredictably. In other words, alters cannot "willingly recall each other memories" nor "orderly thus willingly switch" if they do not have "something they have in common to unite them".

The Switch of Dissociative Identity Disorder

• [abstract] "The Switch Function"; "The Default Identity" is present for "all low effort life tasks", while "the non-default identity" is present for "all relevant high effort life tasks"
• [concrete] Before the guide continues, it should be noted that "sector of body and mind" can take "up to one identity", and when "identities are united", "sectors of body and mind" can also connect by "constant awareness of all sectors of body and mind" that certain human has. Function by which "identities" switches consists of "default identity" concept, or the one that is mostly present, because its role is to handle the tasks that are "low subjective effort" at given moment, everything else gets handled by the most suitable "non-default identity". To conclude and thus explain, which "identity" will be present depends on "low subjective effort", meaning what is doable by "default identity" at given moment. In other words, alters switch by "subjective, present based pattern" instead of "objective, past/future based pattern".

The Operate of Dissociative Identity Disorder

• [abstract] "Utilizer as Whole" switches "individual layer" therefore "abstract then cultural layer"; where "an identity" has "opposite/identical/dichotomal relation" to "an identity"
• [concrete] Although relation between "identities" can be categorized as "opposite/identical/dichotomal relation", it is more important to categorize "sector of body and mind" itself, or better to say, categorize "each layer" of "sector of body and mind"; resulting in layers in the following order: "abstract, qualities of body and mind that are definable by psychology", "individual, qualities of body and mind that are definable by certain human", "cultural, qualities of body and mind that are definable by sociology". To conclude and thus explain, "(sub)conscious switch is done by individual layer", or better to say, "identity" is summoned by "identity's individual layer". In other words, "alters has own individualities" and by that individuality they are switched thus summoned.

The Removal of Dissociative Identity Disorder

• [abstract] "Two Dichotomous Approaches"; "merging all extra identities with the main identity" or "resolving all extra identities by meeting respective root reason for living"
• [concrete] Each additional "sector of body and mind" can be either "merged with sector of body and mind human was born with" or "resolved by sector of body and mind human was born with", where possibility of "the disorder" being "removed by sector of body and mind human was not born with" shouldn't be ruled out, while same principle applies in that case. To conclude and thus explain, depending on "mutual decision of all identities", during "outro phase" of "the disorder", removal will happen by: merge, resolve, or combination of both; where "resolving identity" demands "life satisfaction of identity". In other words, human either "merges abilities of extra alters" thus "can emulate them post-disorder" or "resolves abilities of extra alters" thus "can simulate them post-disorder".

To make the guide even more understandable, I will use "Yu-Gi-Oh!" as reference: "Yugi got supporting alter", "Bakura got negating alter", "Malik got negating alter"; where all three of "the disorders" got removed by resolve instead of merge.

This is a big wall of text. So, are you trying to say you integrated, or what?

I have merged my three extra identities with me, but this is meant for others, as a helping guide.

How is it supposed to help?

With understanding of how it works, human can get the most out of it, and also end the disorder. The problem is whether or not someone can understand what I wrote.

I know I certainly am failing to understand it.

Yeah, try to look at text as container of elements, like description of some computer. You probably try to understand it on the way you will approach a common text, this is in no way a common text, this is an extreme use of English language, so it speaks disorder itself.

Well, too bad I'm not a computer and can't just run a merge function. If I'm going to integrate someday, it won't be by "emulating" or "simulating" the qualities, feelings, and personhood of my parts, it would be by genuinely unifying with them. And those "oppressive events" that created them, aka trauma, need to be identified and worked through before that can happen.

But if this worked for you, that's great!

From looking over your initial post again, I have to ask: are you sure you integrated with your alters and haven’t just ignored them to the point you repressed communication with them? You say you removed the disorder and that use of the word “removed” doesn’t sit well with me since DID doesn’t seem like something you can just remove.

Well, it was a long and hard journey, I still feel like crying when I remember it, all oppressive events from 2003, 2006, 2014 have been thoroughly studied, to the point we were actually glad that they have happened and brought us together. That, with addition of knowing exactly who each one of us is, creating a system to differ thus utilize our individualities and so on.

However, now their respective sector is removed by merge with my sector and all that is left is their abilities, so I can now emulate them thanks to their abilities they left behind. I created this thread in sign of my 2006 alter named Toin, because of his unrealized career of "counselor for mental health". This is pretty much how he would write the initial post if he was here.
