sleep paralysis :
I have something similar, but I can explain how real dissociative identity disorder works. at least I will try from my own knowledge, please don't take it like it's 100% truth.
This is not how you usually see it on social media, or the person has schizophrenia, for example, which looks like a DID.
How does it work? Their brain doesn't create a completely new personality, it blocks memories, perceptions of the inner self, and so on as a way to protect the psyche. In fact, even healthy people encounter this phenomenon of "displacement", you can google it. But in people with the disorder, this mechanism is broken, which is why a person can behave like completely different people, because his brain blocks all his personality traits inherent in him before.
What I experienced was dissociative amnesia. this is at the heart of the DID. I forgot everything related to me in about two years of my life after the traumatic events, but the integrity of my inner self was not violated, which saved me from further problems.
But people with this disorder (DID) literally split and each of the parts of their personality experiences the same, because of other "personalities". It turns out that each time the trigger activates the defense mechanism of repression of the traumatic experience and shifts it to another person's personality, and this works as a vicious circle.
Yes, you can find out that you have personalities, but it will not be like a conversation. This is learned from friends, acquaintances, some inconsistencies in your usual life, something from notes in your phone, photos, etc. (How do you think I found out that I have dissociative amnesia?).
What you see on social networks is not necessarily fake – disorders tend to interact and give similar results, or in extreme cases, a person may also have schizophrenia... Well, I hope you enjoyed reading
