Dear Diary,
Living with DID (dissociative Identity disorder) had been no walk in the park.
DID: formerly called multiple personality disorder, it's characterized by at least two distinct identities.DID is a dissociative disorder and not a personality disorder.
Alter(s): alternate state of identity. Different distinct identity(ies).
The system has faced a lot on the past year and a lot of our friends refused to accept us as who we are... There is around 20-23 of us last time I did a count all sharing a body. It had made romance at times hard.
I am the host of the system, Br. We will all be going by anoynomous names to protect our identity. I'd like to point out I'm not the original alter. There isn't an original alter, but I'll explain that another time.
Our diary entries will focus on experiences from different alters perspectives and what experiences we have gone through.
We will always define all terms we use that people may not be familiar with. I am in no way glorifying this disorder it comes with its own set of struggles.
This marks the start of our diary.
-Br (host)
