Why?

Last night I came out of the proverbial mental health closet by announcing that I have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). A radio show I dearly love compared DID to government programming and demon possession. They have done this multiple times in the past and it’s finally time to set the record straight as much as I am able to.

This is such a big deal because throughout the years I have to hide it in most all aspects of my life due to the intense stigma surrounding it. All mental health disorders face stigma, but thanks to misconceptions DID is one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized mental health disorders of all.

I hope though this blog I can share what it is really like to live with DID and help prove that it is a regular psychological disorder that deserves patience and support rather than something to be feared.
