My name is Carol and I have Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). I am on one of 18 fully functioning parts in addition thousands of fragments that make up my survival system. I'm creating this channel to share my journey with DID in hopes that doing so will help end the unfortunate stigma surrounding this disorder. For me, DID was the survival tool of last resort to deal with repeated and inescapable abuse and trauma inflicted on me by my family of origin. My parts are nothing short of amazing in how they protected my will to live despite the horrific circumstances I was forced to endure. I am proud of having DID. I wouldn't have survived without it. Thank you for watching and I hope you like and subscribe if you are so inclined.
