- Basic descriptions on what alters are and how they develop within the context of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
Basic introductions on the theory of Structural Dissociation.
Also the alters in Jess's system share what they think about one another in a fun Q&A game!
I love Jake's voice, it sounds so much like he has the attitude for his voice. Like if you hear his voice he just SOUNDS like a Jake.
I love jake because of his energy
And he has an American accent! I didn't even realize it at first, because it just sounds normal to me, since I'm from the states, but yeah, it's spot on!
Jake is actually the most verbally convincing guy of the bunch I agree.
It sounds like West Coast U.S.A which isn't thrilling I love the British beauty I guess its because I am trapped in America and I hate it but this is one of the most special women I ever came across through interviews like this.
I lowkey was waiting for him to stand up and say "My name's Jake, and you're watching Disney channel!"
“i don’t really like people.. i don’t really like spending time with people.. i don’t really like giving my time and attention to people...” WE LOVE A RELATABLE KING.
Lol yep he’s great, relatable af
Ikr
a p never related to a sentence more
I bet Ed is a Scorpio
i can relate
Jake has such a smooth American accent, it’s honesty stunning how the mind can create alters and accents.
?grunge?babe? Nah! It’s not smooth! I have lived half my life in the USA and half in the Uk, I can swap from one accent to another and I can hear British in her American (fake) accent
@@monicaperdomo227 i think the point is that is fairly accurate considering her accent -- this comes from an american familiar with linguistics
Monica Perdomo I mean yeah, it’s not actually an accent developed in America so it would be. The alter developed that accent probably from tv but was also living in the
I believe Jamie and Jake's parents spent time moving back and forth between the States and the UK, so Jake sounds largely more American because he lived there longer/most of his life(?)..but I could be wrong, that's just what I think I remember Jamie explaining in his day-out video.
@@monicaperdomo227 His accent is more Canadian.
So I have a best friend and her name is Callie and she has DID. And I showed her your guys RUclips channel. And because of you guys, she really now understands what's going on with her. And she says thank you.
@Kylea Brown No one had anything to say
@Kylea Brown we all just collectively knew no reply would add more to this. I’m happy for them though!
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus was this the right place for that essay?
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus I don't think this is the correct time and place for this
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus maybe stop sexualising aspects of severe mental illness and as someone with bpd, referring to people with the illness as ‘borderlines’ is rude and insensitive.
it’s so interesting how jake has a perfect american accent while everyone else has a british accent
I was trying to place jake's accent the whole video and he sounds kind of canadian to me? I agree with you it's so interesting :')
YES
I legit jumped back a bit when I realized he was, indeed, speaking like an American!! Or Canadian, but I never heard an "aboot" :p them again I'm from Houston, Texas, so we 100% have Canadian stereotypes and I haven't actually met a Canadian before so I haven't had the chance to smash them. (Sorry!!)
DID is so fascinating to me and I seriously wanna be friends with all of these alters
Yes, I saw jake on the news interview jess did, and thought his American was definitely more a Canadian accent!! They're all lovely. Jess you're great.
very northern states in America have "aboot" like accents too though
When someone is faking an accent, I can usually hear slips of their native accent leak through. I don't sense that at all with Jake and it's fascinating
I felt the same way until "dribble" was said, we Americans say drool
Jessee Rousel He lives in the UK, it's understandable
They have lived in both places--- Jaimie explained that so of course he will use some in the UK you can tell the differences between accents.
Tony Perri Exactly I was like woah 😂
Jessee Rousel yeah but one thing is the accent and the other is the vocabulary
This is absolutely insane. How crazy is it that the human mind can create these different personalities and different accents and omg... this is just incredible
2 Talented Teens ikr things like these interest me so much
I know seriously, and what'd they think back in the old times? Like did cavemen ever have this??
ikr??
XXXTensionheadache 1988 they thought it was demons
The term isn't really "created"
I am working on my psych degree, and I absolutely love how you document your life with DID. It really helps people to see past the myths and stereotypes. You are amazing!
Taylor Wrigley hi I have a friend that insists that DID is rare, and based of the videos that I watched it says the opposite and I keep telling this friend of mine but he wont listen. What do you have to say about this bc I’m heated?😂
@@annienguyen5339 It is, I believe only approx. 2% have it
@@elih6087 2% is a high number. Let's say you're in a room (say a classroom) of 50 people, one person will have it. If you count up a group of 100 people you know, 2 of them statistically has it.
I'm not sure if 2% is the current statistic since it seems DID is under diagnosed (could be higher). But if its the case, 2% is not insignificant.
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus good for you? No one asked🤣🤣🤣
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus you’re all over these comments saying some pretty strange shit.
I find it so interesting they have different voices!!
And accents! I wish I could do accents like that!
and facial expressions!
Elizabeth Post thats one way you know its legit lol
I have did as well, I have 8 active, one semi active and many that don't come out at all. We range from age 24 down to 4 months old. The baby is the only active one that ages. He need to be fed out of a bottle. Oddly enough he can suck, swallow and breath at the same time. None of us can do that but him. I actually tried and damn near choked to death lol
Us older ones are a bit harder to tell apart. We don't sound all that different from each other but our look, style and how we move all changes. We have two teenagers and they're normal teens so they're pretty easy to tell apart. There's two children ages 7 and 5. Again they're easily told apart from the rest of us. They walk, talk and look very much like children. Next is the toddlers who are 1 and 2 years old. They are easy to tell apart because well they have tantrums, walk and talk like babies and need allot of care. it's not a easy thing to have, yet it's not hard at the same time. the hardest part is public opinion of us, being called fakes by stranger's... things like that.
Reborn Mama & Sims I (we) know the feeling..I hate when people call us demons or ghosts possessing this body..we all love Christ and are all baptized
This was such a weird video to watch. You could hear and see the differences but they all have the same face. and thats the only similarity. It literally felt like watching an interview with different people.
It felt like watching an interview with triplets or something. It felt weird knowing that they weren't, it was so trippy.
They hold their faces differently. Jake pulls his mouth in more, Ed is very relaxed and Jamie looks like he just doesnt put effort into how to hold his because he knows hes gorgeous.
Not "WEIRD".....its "interesting"
It's about identity. DID happened to a traumatic person about something bad in the past/childhood.
Jamie represents choleric side.
Jake represents sanguin side.
Ed represents melancholic side.
Ollie represents phlegmatic side.
Normally people have 2 dominant character inside of them. And the orher 2 secunder character. But DID here we clearly see that Jess has all side as dominant character inside her body. Very interesting..
Try to read this book " Personality Plus" by Florence Littaeur. Important to have. This book can help us understand ourselves, friends, beloved one, spouse, family.
Or an interview with triplets.
Dress red - Jake, 24
Glasses - Jamie, 28
Black jacket -Ed, 28
Jamie is 26
Jamie is #1 as are all the "others"
When you don’t have a squad..... you BECOME the squad 😂
worship me oh my god lol
Haha that's exactly what we are! We are #SquadGoals literally 😂
Facts!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yasss that's how you know friends are crap *moral of the story be friends with yourself*
I cackled
It's so interesting to see their different personality traits and way of speaking, and the changes in accents!
M. B. Harkins yea it’s so amazing what the human brain can do 😮
the faces also :)
I'd love to see them take the Harry Potter sorting hat test on Pottermore!
Rae Dar OH YES PLEASE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME
Ed would be slytherin, Jamie would be ravenclaw and Jake would be hufflepuff😂😂😂
My girlfriend has a system of 17 and the 4 main parts have taken it. 2 of them are Hufflepuffs, 1 is Ravenclaw and 1 is Slytherin.
OMG YESS!!
Rae Dar lololol
My sister has DID and she recommended I come see your channel. I haven't gotten to see her in 7 years (not because of her DID!) but we have stayed in contact over social media. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you pulled them all apart this way and shared each of them with us. She calls her system "The Collective" I have met all of them, even her most elusive Thalia which is barely seen.
You are paving the way for people to own their lives and LOVE themselves! Thank you for doing this.
id love a video about your experience with the alters, like the first time you noticed them, the first time you saw the physical difference in your body as each alter, things like that. Also i love these videos, it is such a secretive mental illness because of stigma, its so good to have someone speaking out on it.
I will do this for (hopefully) my next vid! :) certainly ties in well! Thank you for the idea
MultiplicityAndMe pleaseeee.
When she’s speaking with an American accent, she even has the same intonation that Americans typically have- it’s not acting
*he
You can have all that when acting too...
I'm hungry
@handsome jack wow rude much?
@@mickisei3547 honestly ....same
Jake is so outgoing and happy! You can definitely see the difference in all of you. (: It's so cool to see other systems!!
TheMagicalSofa that's because Jake is American. We are loud and outgoing people.
@Michelle Lary-Eade Girl, that has nothing to do with race, it's just her character, her personality. xD
I'm American and I am quiet and scared of everyone.
TheMagicalSofa I see some of the comments posted from this account on different videos , what I would like to know is how many alters you have?
+Mistery
American isn't a race...
@multiplicityAndMe I’m male 26 and I got two females and a non gender associated one just emotionless that I call Michael who was by far the dominant alter for years, in control until I learned about my condition. I had a real bad time coping with life as a male it’s difficult to seek help Michael isnt very nice but non violent more verbal than anything else he doesn’t feel physical pain, (I’ve had many) it is kinda like the character that represents « anger » in the movie inside out 😋 he is around but isn’t violent or distructive anymore!
It is the reason I haven’t given up on the other 8 including myself Stephan. We speak different languages from French, English to German with corresponding accents! My wife is my everything! She copes with everyone and loves everyone and there is nothing in the world I can do to ever repay her for being with us. Thank you for sharing with the world and to help eliminating that stigmas often associated with DID! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for sharing that. You're very brave.
Did any of your alters or you study those languages in any way? Were any of you raised in the inner world with German, French or English?? Could you gain such knowledge from the inner world without pulling it from the external world??
@@darthglowball one alter can get interested on one language, or i think one could make or "suggest" learning more languages
Does your wife know all of those languages?
Awesome post . God bless you ALL
They all have different accents too! Ed has a heavy northern accent, Jamie has like a posh English accent and Jake has a PERFECT American accent!!
Ed's accent is more essex/London ish than Northern
Ed is London, not northern at all lol
Ed has an Essex accent!
The American accent is okay.. It's still a little peculiar though.
Ed is london or Essex I'd say (I live in London)
so is it like a group chat in your head?
moscardo hahaha 😂
moscardo Actually, from what my boyfriend told me in his case of DID, it pretty much is a big group chat
+Heipos s Do they live in pitch blackness or like.....an imaginary world?
I actually asked her on tumblr (Multiplicityandwe and also Multiplicityandme they do Q&A's all the time) Jake told me that it literally is a whole world that they live in, they have jobs, kids, Jake is an award winning actor. It's an imaginary world in her head basically.
John F. Kennedy I didn't ask him. But maybe it's pitch black, because he doesnt really know what his alters looks like. He knows their clothing styles (through pictures and also because they tell him) but not their appearance
I just found out recently that I have this same diagnosis. It was really scary and I thought I wouldn’t be able to cope. My friend sent me your video and now I don’t feel as alone. Thank you so much for posting this.
See it that way: with DID you will never be alone :)
I’m sorry if I’m being too curious, but how could you not-know you had it? I’m asking because I’m fascinated, please, don’t think that I’m judging you, i’m not. At all!
Healthepet veterinaria
Actually at the beginning of the video she said that alters are born from a trauma experience, I guess he was recently traumatized therefor making it possible to have alters. I actually find this very fascinating too, like you could play UNO by yourself lol
You will never be alone. No man is an island
Healthepet veterinaria sometimes when the alters are in the "driver's seat" the "original" is not always conscious so there may have been a lot of times when the original would be in what is referred to as an amnesia state and not know what they ate what they did or who they were with for hours and sometimes days at a time. Most people that get diagnosed usually don't get a proper diagnosis until they are adults and have lived with the disorder for years while being treated for other things.
Came back to this video to compare Jess back then versus now as a fused person. It's crazy how much happier she is now. I am so happy for her.
It's so interesting that they all have different voices. Jake doesn't sound British at all. I was so intriguing. You earned a new subscriber!
Jordyn Renfrow We normally have different everything except body but, we view our body as home and feel different about that body/appearance.
Jordyn Renfrow well i consider my alters to be like separate people so it makes sense that they all have different voices and accents!
one of your alters have a perfect american accent.
Liv Lab you're a little aggressive huh?
Vanessa Roberts, Liv Lab wasn't being aggressive. She was replying to the original commenter whose screen name is "Az idgaf Cry to your momma bitch". All Liz Lab said was "it's crazy."
Az idgaf Cry to your momma bitch oh man I didn't even notice that until u said it
American hear. Not perfect. Dropping the Rs and shaping vowels at the end of words when Americans who have only lived in america wouldn't. No offense. I know it's not meant to be offensive, it's not a choice, etc.
jessicamshannon I really can't tell!
As a person with DID, its good to see someone who actually shares legitimate information & facts.
Quinn: You need to make videos and get out there. Let the rest of the world meet your system and get to know ya'll.
Do any of your altars tell too much embarrassing shit on you and hate your guts?
@@kenshan5378 mine did for sure
@@brookefederline3109 i wanna ask something if you dont mind : does ur alters know ur dreams? Like if u had a dream are u the only one who controls it?
@@azra7711 I'm a generation older than you guys, I'm 50 and was traumatised by Nazi techniques the old fashioned way; they had to kill me because I wouldn't dissociate, but these days I dissociate at the drop of a hat. I don't like going out because of the fragility that I have, not being used any longer by the Illuminati. In fact they have been trying to kill me using satanists, but satan worshippers are so bloody stupid they can't kill me. Plus of course the Almighty looks out for me all the time. Peace xx
I noticed that only Jamie is wearing glasses and the others are not. Can he not see without glasses?
he needs reading glasses. different alters use the eye muscles differnetly to make it simple. its quite fasinating
@@Jo-yv4th That's amazing, I can't believe I haven't seen this comment any more. It's even more intriguing than the accents
It's not uncommon for different Alters to have different physical traits... For example in the movie "Split" one Alter uses glasses, one has diabetes, etc...
jeremy clouse erm split is NOT a accurate (not to mention positive) example of DID!! it was so so so harmful to the people who actually have DID and made such a bad social stigma around DID that made the whole situation so much worse. i think dissociaDID made a video about it please watch it. comparing any system to split is so so toxic
i dont know if he needs prescription glasses or there just for reading but this disorder is so fucking interesting to read about for example one of the people in the system can be deathly allergic to bee stings and other can be just fine and others can even have mental illnesses like severe anxiety or ocd and others would be just fine around people
"I don't like giving my time and attention to people" lolol I love Ed
mirissasweetsound101 big mood
Ed: I dont need friends, they disappoint me...*emo pose*
Iahaiahuahaua, looooove so much
I love Ed I can’t ❤️❤️😂😭
I have completely fell in love with Jake, he's so likeable and someone I would actually be friends with! I love all of the alters but to me Jake stood out❤️
Sleepwxlking he is adorable 😭 he's my oldest alter and is someone I completely cherish 💕😊
MultiplicityAndMe hes american too aw ❤
I love Ed because he reminds me of my sister, he could almost be a replica of her its crazy.
omg yes jake seems very nice, & he’s the only one who’s american, he seems so happy, peppy, & seems to love life, i would love to meet someone like him someday, someone who is “high on life”
you get along great and respect each of your alters. respect!
Cynthia Parsons for the system to work you have to respect each alters I would know I have did too (7 personalities but only 5 altars)
Frédérick Roy hello! can you please tell me how it's 7 personalities and 5 alters? what's the difference? it's very interesting!
It is nice that they can be harmonious together, for sure.
I can’t believe how different everyone’s voice is... Amazing
Hello Shelley
Amazing how Ed sounds like a Londoner, Jake is American and Jamie sounds middle English, and the closest in accent to Jess. Curious about Ollie, as he wasn't in this... I'm intrigued at the total difference between them. Not just accent, but pitch and tone in voice, the way they look at the camera and the words they use.
Thank You so much for this!!!
I was recently diagnosed wit D.I.D. ....surprisingly, at 51😱
It explained so much...missing time, conversations that I Swore never happened and Fights that I'd have no memory of, but would have bruises & such. I used to tell my son to stop kidding around when he'd tell me about
Mae Mae,.shes 4 and evidently would play with him when he was little. I've found a great therapist who Specializes in DID & we're currently in the process of 'mapping' Everyone.
Curious thing though...I (the host Robi) have Osteoarthritis in both hands/thumbs, both hips, my spine and my left leg & ankle...however, my main Alter Theresa, doesn't...She's the one who CLEANS my house for me😻
Then there's Boudicca...she's the #1 Protector, as in...She Will BEAT your ASS.
So far, there's 3 Alters...we're still trying to talk to the one who remembers what happened to me....you see,
I don't remember most of my childhood. I can tell you that a certain thing happened, but I couldn't tell you how old I was when it happened. In truth, I have no idea How Many 'we' are.
So again..
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I don't feel like such a FREAK
Anymore!! 😘😘😘😘😘
Sounds like you have a good bunch
Sounds like the best squad ❤ I hope everything goes well for all of you!
Awwww that’s so nice of your alters to help you out round the house
I am learning about mine too..... Scary stuff. Kinda depressed... My partner doesn't believe in it:(
Cat Momma omg your screen name, cat mama, and alter, Mae Mae is so ridiculously coincidental! My cats name is Mae Mae! Lol!
YOO IM AM IDIOT I WAS HALF WAY THRU THE VIDEO BEFORE I REALIZED JAKE WAS AMERICAN
HAHAHAHAHA
LOL SAME
sameee
ME TOO
Lol same 😂
It's cool that Jamie gives an explanation for all of his decisions, very insightful
Also, Jake is a ball of sugar
Woah! That accent change caught me waaaaay off guard! It's so interesting how alters can have such different accents!
alters can also speak different languages, or be a animal even!
The different manners of speaking for each alter is so fascinating! Also really interesting that they’re all male, I feel like that’s rare
I find it interesting and exciting, actually. Cuz, I've always wondered how would it be a male version of myself.
And, they're just fantastic!
Ageda Maki alters aren't rlly... you
All my wife's alters are male. She is definally very girly and feminine. So I never thought it rare.
Shannon Mooney how are they all male but dress and act like females? No disrespect, I’m just confused. Can anyone help explain?
Shannon Mooney
It is really rare. Having some alters have a different sex from the body isn’t uncommon, but all of them being boys is pretty rare. I have OSDD 1-b, which is similar to DID but without amnesia, and we have different genders but not to this extent. Host is female, most of the alters are also female, but myself (my actual name is Simon) and one other are male.
I never knew alters could be kind and friendly. This is very new to me. I've only seen negative ones.
Prince Peaches that's why we love Jess, Jake, Jamie, Ed, and Ollie. They show what the majority of us are like. Most multiples are kind, decent, wonderful people. Unfortunately the media and even the psychological community tend to portray otherwise.
Yeah, that's just the media sucking. PDs (personality disorders) are mostly shown in a negative light. It's why so many people get freaked out and are really afraid if they think someone has DID or Schizophrenia (which a lot of people know so little about they oftentimes mix them up). But it's so much more likely for someone with one of these disorders to be a victim of a crime rather than a perpetrator and sometimes their disorders manifest as a result from a crime, or at least trauma. It's very disheartening and unsettling that it's how these things are portrayed. But it's a good note to remember to take everything with a grain of salt, because portrayals are very likely to be way way off from what actually happens for people who have these disorders and live with them day to day. I'm a psychology student and a writer and I'm very interested in trying to create a more realistic representation of DID, so I've been looking at the various portrayals in media. And while shows and movies may be entertaining (most recently Split), they are pretty damaging, increasing the stigma and stereotypes. It's going to be difficult to write something to be as accurate as possible (I mean, from a storytelling perspective, it's quite a few personalities sharing one physical body, and how do I show transitions and discovering new alters and code it so readers can know who's speaking up without having to be bashed over the head with it over and over?) but I really think it's something that's worthwhile. The more people who have the realization you had, the better, and accurate portrayals can do so much good to counter the bad that are continually pumped out to the masses. This is even more difficult than handling an adaption of the life of someone I knew with Lou Gehrig's. But worth it. Keep learning more information, keep curious, and at any point you can dispel some of these myths, I hope you speak up and help lessen the stigma just a bit.
You've seen them? In real life or in movies?
I have 2 good one bad
All the alters in my system are friendly! One of them is a bit of a wild party girl (very unlike me, i am a shy nerd), but shes still friendly to people. Im sorry youve seen negative alters.
Unfortunately DID isnt something you're born with or you can make up. Real DID is caused by very extreme childhood trauma that has been repeated over a period of time. So, inorder to deal/cope during those traumatic events, the brain goes into survival mode and thus creating the different altars to help you to forget or protect you. Some even have a bit of amnesia during the altars and cant remember what happened because the altar took over.
I was curious when people switch personas or something do they forget what happened or do they remember everything
Absolutely!
Im Trash some people forget but some remember
NkaujHmoob Zoo I feel like I have it my parents had horrible fights recurring over time and I find myself walking into rooms and me realizing I’m in that room and I feel weird and dizzy sometimes sometimes I get on all fours and tear stuff up when I’m angry?? Or am I just goin crazy
Trash, it depends if you're Co Conscious with that personality.
Watching I kept going back and forth between wanting to cry for the child that suffered the trauma and being charmed by the alters I was getting to meet. Thank you for this experience. ❤
I love how theres this super-childish happy-whimsical doodly-doo music in the background of a video starting with, "Now when a child experiences trauma..."
bronco clayton yes and the way Hollywood treats it SOO much better 😒
Reminds me of how SARK writes her books ..
"-he's just *very good* with his hands-"
Okay, I'm just going to leave now with my corrupted mind-
XX Z e n a r i XX I THOUGHT WEIRD TOO AHHH
Which is so funny cause Jamie and Ed are together in their alter world.
really? I'm sorry i didn't listen what jess say very well@@Pickle_gobbler69
*T H A T S W H A T S H E S A I D*
Oh Jess has said in other videos that two of her alters I believe Ed and (one of the other boys) are married, and then Ollie is their little boy.
i only found out about dissociative identity disorder yesterday from a channel named "AlexMax Han", and i'm *INTRIGUED* to learn more about it because it's just so interesting.
AquaSkye omg same! AlexMax Han got into my recommendations then I saw DissociaDID in the comments and then I started bingewatching the DID community!
Misora Chii Snap!!!
i read about it in a book it was called identical by ellen Hopkins it was a fascinating book and ive also seen all of "AlexMax Han" 's videos recently I am so fascinated
Same
ME TOO
Jake is literally the drama/theatre kid that all of the other drama kids love and aspire to be. There’s certain stereotypes in it (and we all own up to it) and he’s just that one, amazingly perfect guy that everyone wants to be with him or be him. God I love him.
I'd read that people with DID could have changes in their voice depending on the alter present, but merely reading about it, it's hard to actually imagine. And this video showcases that perfectly, in both tone & accents. My mind is straight blown. I think it's so awesome also they all know each other so well. Virtually every answer was the same across the board. Its fascinating how the mind can work in an effort to protect the "host."
Summer Murphy I’m a female one of my alters makes me sound like a middle aged man
I LOVE how you make a video talking about your multiple personality disorder and you open it up with happy cheery music and the comments are complimenting and making light of the disorder like it's something that's completely normal.
+Say I Love You Anime better that than straitjackets and misery. You can get really crap times with this but that doesn't mean you have to only focus on the bad. I find it much better to focus on the positives 🙂
It's one thing to try and focus on the positives and there's the other...people commenting "how they like your different personalities accents and how some don't abide by the gender norms"..like completely just trying to sugar coat that it's a serious issue.
+Say I Love You Anime Because all negativity does is bode to the fact that we shouldn't be able to function or live and have relatively normal lives. The negativity makes me ill, but trying to be positive about my experiences helps me cope. Further more, it's breaking down the stereotype of people's idea of this terribly scary psycho killer illness, but the whole point in this disorder is a defence mechanism - a way to help a traumatised child cope without the memories attached. This is the way I choose to help break the stigma and I apologise if that doesn't suit your expectations
K. I don't think you get what I'm trying to say. It's fine to be positive and I understand everyone has different ways of coping..But I'm saying that it's not good for people to be commenting stuff that possibly could be more harming than helpful. Like saying that you're disorder is cute or applauding the fact that each different one has a unique sounding voice. Like this is a serious issue is it not? then why do people make it sound like it's something that you want to do to be cute or funny?
...because it is nice to hear, we hear how dangerous and scary we are a lot, so it's nice to talk be talked about in a nice manner. ~ hannah.
They all use the voice, mouth, and throat so differently, it's so amazing.
I think it's kinda sad that people dont think DID is real.
It is very real. But you are not born with it. It develops over time as a defense mechanism. This disorder is often caused by childhood trauma that keeps happening over and over, such as repeated sexual, physical, or emotional abuse. Of course, the causes are often much more multifaceted than this, but I’m giving a brief explanation. It's real but anyone can snap out of it with proper treatment. I guess some people just don't want the voices in their head to go away.
The thing is, there are a lot of fakers out there that pretend that they have it and people are sceptic because of that, I know that the disorder is real but I still have a hard time believing that it's real because of so many fakers out there.
Most of the psychology community doubts its existence
Not if they are properly educated and trained they don't.
I worked in inpatient psychiatry for about 11 years and I have met two people who have DID, and a third person whose diagnosis was in the process of being ruled in or ruled out by the psychiatrists. All three people had suffered terrible childhood trauma. : ( It isn't a diagnosis that anyone wants.
I ❤ Jake. He's so bubbly and his accent is so cute. Love him
Raven it's strange for me to hear we have an accent. Jake's accents California. Too awesome what the brain can do.
How do the "boys" react to you being married? Do they have a "bromance" with your husband? I think youre the first woman Ive seen with all male alts; very interesting.
Teresa Simpson from when I was subscribed to her a while ago, two of the alters are gay and in a relationship with each other. Her husband I think is bisexual but I don't remember 100%.
Jamie is bi, Ed is gay and yes my partner is bi also :)
MultiplicityAndMe what about jake
NewMan I remember hearing in the livestreams that Jake is straight :)
Teresa Simpson Our host is a boy while I am female. It's interesting.
I think I definitely like Ed the most.He’s legit a whole mood.He’s seems super chill and I would definitely hang out with him.
I like ollie
@@candymull8924 we all do! Not sure why he didn’t participate in this vid. Would have enjoyed him.
It's amazing all the different accents! And the personalities! I had no idea that alters were so distinctive! Really educational video!
They all have different voices and accents!
rainbowdust919 that is usually what happens
Oh no it's not like people can fake it.
Genesis , This is def not fake, the reactions are genuine and it takes pretty skilled person to pull this off but Genesis you do understand this is already a real thing so why fake it and even if it was fake you can find somebody with this disorder who will do this So no matter what , whats in the video is real and happens to people. The C.I.A did this in 1970 and tried to create alters in regular people it was called project mk ultra.
That is very interesting since regardless of personalites, they still all grew up in the same region and body so how/why would one of them pick up an American accent? You see what I mean? Not saying it's faked but it's not average. Changing in tone and vanacular is. Not total change in region. Try and think of 5 different people growing up in the same house and room. One wouldn't develop a different accent. Accents are based on region of origin. Just a little confused by that..
So is being your friend like getting 5 different friends?
SaraGiraffe or 5 friends and an enemy... You meet the wrong one on a bad day and you will never get along with them
so her husband is married to 5 ppl lol
Just because you befriend one of them, doesn't mean that you're friends with every alter.. they're still different people. Imagine meeting someone with 4 siblings and you and that person end up being friends, does that make their siblings your friends too ? Nope. You probably don't even know them or have barely got to know them.
Jake sounds super dutch
This is a good question. If I meet and be friends with one of them, will the other ones recognize me?
Do your alters ever get mad at each other? How do they make up?
For my psychology term paper, I chose to write a research paper on DID. I have read at least a hundred different sources of studies and research and I definitely believe there is evidence to prove that DID is in fact legitimate. However, I also am conflicted to say that whole heartedly because since the disorder gained a lot of attention after the movie Sybil came out, the amount of people diagnosed with DID spiked 80%. There is also a LOT of evidence of psychologists imposing this disorder on troubled patients due to either a misdiagnosis or a selfish want to say they have a DID patient. I only say this because I often see people diagnosing themselves with this disorder and I fear movies such as Sybil or Split or tv shows like United States of Tara have really romanticized DID. And similar to the whole anorexia and self harm epidemic (teens romanticizing that as well) I get worried when I see young people claiming they have DID without getting properly diagnosed and treated. I only bring all of this up because reading these comments, I definitely see way too many troubled kids claiming they have DID without actually understanding what it means to have this disorder. It's nothing to self-impose on your life. If you do experience some of the symptoms and experiences of this disorder, don't self diagnose. See a specialist and get a proper diagnosis of your mental health. It is not something you should diagnose yourself with.
I KNOW I have D.I.D, my psych says I don't because I'm aware of my alters... In fact, if she had met me at age 15 (wait, she did - just she didn't listen to me), I would have been D.I.D. I apparently had D.I.D in 2015, yet 2 years later - now I suddenly don't have it because my psych doesn't believe we do. I'm 26 (biologically, I struggle with remembering I'm not actually 15) and have lived with this since I was 15 (to my knowledge), yet my family tell me about age 9/10 is when I "changed" overnight - which I suspect was a 'new host' taking control. I experience this daily, either C-PTSD or any of the various disorders my alters have, and inflict upon my person. ~ hannah.
Thadius Meyers I think it was diagnosed more because people who have know, wait is this a real thing
Thadius Meyers I'd hardly describe Sybil as "romanticising" DID. It was a dreadfully painful movie to watch her go through such trauma.
Thadius Meyers thank you I see the same thing and worried these people almost glamorize DID like you CAN be any of these people on your want and beneficial to the situation
i call B.S on anyone who say they can control this shit
This is going to sound so wrong, but I wish they were in their own body, they sound like a freaking fun and having 4 best male friends would be a blast. I would really like to spend time with Jamie.
CLHB90 Now I wonder what it’d be like to hang out with them in groups! Ed really fascinates me, I’d love to hang out and try out makeup or something
Watching videos like this really blows my mind and I still don't really understand DID. My brain automatically tells me that people in this videos are just acting and that having alters like that is not possible. I don't even wanna say that I don't believe you, I just think it's really hard to grasp if you don't have DID yourself or if you know somebody very well that has DID.
I thought I was 'crazy' for years, that I had voices in my head with losing time (I just convinced myself that my memory was AWFUL) and even though I had heard of M.P.D (back in the day :P) - I didn't believe it myself until I actually was told by others so I can understand not being able to believe it. ~ Hannah.
Hannah Mcluckie thank you, yes, yes, yes
I understand, I feel the same way! It is indeed very hard to grasp for me as well.
I feel that way too! I don't fully grasp how it's possible, but I don't think it's fake. I believe it but I can't explain it basically xD
as a therapist who makes videos on this topic i can state that i have worked with this disorder and believe it to be very real.... it can be caused by fracturing of personality caused by traumatic incidents
this is really interesting. thank you for your sharing. I will say Jake has a wonderful American accent- but I've never ever heard an American say "dribble" we always say "drool" so fascinating. Thanks for your bravery.
Ambra Sherrod
American born and raised here. Have always said “dribbled” to mean drooled.
American raised and born, it depends when I’m using it. I say drool more often, but I used dribble to refer to children. I’ve also heard a lot of Americans say it too.
Yeah I'm an American and I use dribble...like oops I dribbled in my sleep. Unless my pillow is absolutely soaked and then it's a pile of drool lol
Am an American and I only say dribble if it’s one drop, anything else I was drool
I'm American (west/midwest)and have NEVER heard someone say 'dribble' it's always drool in my experience. The US is an very diverse place though 🤷
How do they know each other so well cause technically can't be together at the same time. Or all they all just hanging out and having a party in your head?
They exist in an "inner world" and hVe their own lives in which they are all part of one family, so they know each other very well
Ashley Villalobo
Ashley Villalobos if you've seen the movie split it has a good representation of it, basically it's a waiting room and whoever gets to the light is the one speaking and moving
id describe all of my alters as being together in a room and they each have a bed, everytime someone wants to come foward or I want someone or need someone then they step foward
Clorox Bleach I'm sure split is a terrible representation of this? It's inaccurate and demonises personality disorders. It's not the same for everyone: it's not always a waiting room for people I swear? But that's spilt personality disorders aren't really an easy topic to base a movie around, and I doubt M.Night Shamalan has it down accurately.
Its crazy how the other alters are all british except Jake that kinda blows my mind. Especially how someone who doesnt have something like this and tries to do an accent its really hard and not natural and it sounds completely normal for Jake.
Their accents & voices are so different!
Always love how this system is so full of love and acceptance. How she calls them her boys is just everything. Proud of all the progress you guys have made, from the 1st time i saw this vid to now. Such incredible ambassadors!
whats really fascinating is how some people with DID switch between right and lefthandedness
yes that is really interesting! ed is left handed in their system while the rest are right handed. it also intrigues me that some alters can have different mental illnesses (i believe it's jake who has bipolar disorder) and how some may need prescription lenses while the others don't (jamie)!
I've heard certain alters can require glasses or one alter may be ADHD and another alter isn't. there have been rare cases where an alter has been blind where the "main person" can see totally fine.
Did you just get that from the movie Split??
No that's a fact, type in dissociative identity disorder blind or Margo and you'll see an example on RUclips
Bakery Cat that's one of the main things they teach you in psych class...
So, is the blindness psychological? I'm confused.
MomOf2 PlusOtaku woah. That's crazy
I'm an alter/host of my system. When our family found out that I was an alter and that there were others they got us committed. Thankfully they've come to realize that I am not harmful and the others aren't harmful. There's so much stigma against alters/people with DID. Thank you all for sharing your experiences, it really makes me feel less scared in the world. It's good to see that we can be ok.
This is the second channel that has a DID host named Jess.
I came from Jess
I have a crush on Jake
Hello There same dude same
Lol. Join the crowd bro
Hello There I fucking love your picture
Hello There I have a crush on Ed
Jamie and Jake are so attractive oml
i'm glad most of the comments are nice but it's disheartening to see all the assholes... i never thought it was fake in the first place but when a friend who has DID and is high-functioning (and not "out" - i'm one of the like, three people who know) told me about it, SO MUCH STUFF made sense all of a sudden! lol. like them not remembering whole conversations that were totally distinct. or inconsistent behaviors. one alter is SUPER neat, most are kinda 'meh', but one is really messy and disorganized. so i was always massively confused when behaviors or personality traits like this clashed. but now it makes sense! :)
and for people saying jess can "easily switch" or whatever - you know it's different for every system, right? yikes. and it really can depend on the alters, too! like my aforementioned friend. things we do together, or conversations we have, can trigger or bring out different alters. and some alters want to come out, but the presenting alter doesn't want them to and will try to prevent them from taking over. like i was talking about something and one particular alter was really interested but another alter was completely fascinated and pushed the first alter out of the way and questioned me all night and the first alter was so pissed lol. so the next time that alter was dominant and we were hanging out, they finally got to ask the questions THEY wanted to ask! most of the time with my friend, multiple alters are "around" while the others are asleep so to speak. my friend has 20+ alters and i've knowingly met only five? of them. and again, since they're in hiding about having DID and me knowing - they love to come out around me whenever they can. if we're hanging out one-on-one they're always highly amused whenever i try to figure out which alter i'm talking to when it's not one of the super obvious ones lol.
anyway omg this is so long, sorry!!! thank you for this video! it was really fun, and i'm glad to read that some people at least learned something! :) i also enjoy seeing how different systems can work, since my knowledge of DID mainly comes from a few books, studying psychology in college, and my friend.
i LOVE the three alters we got to see, though i am curious about ollie! does he not come out very often? and jess, do you guys get switching headaches? my friend has really terrible ones sometimes :( and ok, i'm shutting up now!!
its totally a thing, i am a therapist and recently made a video on this too as its so frustrating to see so many people questioning its legitimacy ruclips.net/video/45NlojZFBmY/видео.html , there is reasearch and thought to support that this is a trauma diagnosis.
I love this comment, I’d like to know about the switching headaches, gonna google it
ren star That is so interesting!!I really would like to know more about DID,now haha.Thanks for the long comment👀
My best friend gets headaches from switching. The more switching, the more headache. Ow.
I really, really love learning about these kinds of things. They're so fascinating and it's always satisfying for things to be explained to you that you don't understand. It seems like being friends with someone with alters is like having multiple friends! But I guess that's up to what each alter actually thinks of you, huh?
"My four boys and me"
That was so wholesome! 😍😍
Like I could see a show made based on these "people" or "alters" and I'd definitely watch it 💯🤔
Callsign Joker You should watch a movie called "Frankie and Alice", starring Halle Berry. Good movie.
watch the movie Split
There is a TV show. It's called United States of Tara
Rachel Harlow I miss USOT sooooo much 😭💜
Maybe you would like to watch a korean drama.. Kill me heal me, talks about the topic on an interesting way
Is it possible for alters to speak another language from eachother?
noname yesssss
yep. i kinda have a english alter *cough* guess who's here, it's Danielle! *cough* although i'm actually german.
noname So I’ve heard but don’t quote me on that. Just noticed that from seeing people on youtube and reading comments
Unless the "host" has actually studied a different language or fluently speaks another language then that is virtually impossible -__- . There is 1 brain. I understand the mind comes up with alter ego's but come on. It's just like people saying that they can have alters that are a different race or skin color than when you were actually born with. That is bs because as a white person you could not possible have the experience of any person of color living in the world (i.e colorism, systematic oppression, discrimination based of race.) It is virtually impossible and politically incorrect. I condemn that so much. I'm just being a realist. No one is born with the memories of other individuals. The personalities develop over time for a clear cause.
Allurminate yes but an alter can come from a person that they met or they wish “existed” like a kind of figure that they missed o they wanted to have in their lifes. A friend , a sister, a brother so it can come in every form or skin color. Although so many peoples affected by D.I.D says that alters can talk languages that the host can’t speak. Trust me this is not the case to be kind of “realistic” these peoples really lives with this , and if we wanted to be “realistic” this shouldn’t be even real. Trust me i don’t think you would like one day to wake up and feeling like you have to share your body with other “person”
Nice to meet you all! :) At age 58 I have just been formally diagnosed with DID (among other things). Yup, been carrying us all around with me for all this time . Feels good to meet others like me (I never told anyone about my 'people') because I didn't even know it was a thing ! I'm really gratefull to have found people who know what it's like and who are willing to explain to us 'newbies' the uncraziness of it all. xx Thank you!
It’s very fascinating that they are all self aware of one another and are just good friends in her head. I don’t know anyone with DID, very cool to learn about it and see different alters.
Jake is adorable!
Molly Clifford he is
Molly Clifford YASSSSSSSSS😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Molly Clifford why does she become males.. she doesnt have the testostrone lol
mattyy101 watch split. Kevin has his female personality sooooooooo... yep.
I did an that film also has fictional beast man
Although this video is enlightening and light hearted, what Jamie went through to develop DID must have been horrific. . Bless them all and hope they all continue doing well ❤️
Jake's American accent 😍😍
Reese K. They sound a lot like me lol tis kind of cool
He’s sounds Canadian to me😂
Definitely different than the others. He uses the word “like” quite a bit more than usual. Also gives me a older teen to early twenties vibe.
I was recently diagnosed with DID but I’m also a age regressor (little but non sexual) and I’ve been trying to get to know my alters and I realized one is more little then me. I’m so glad you brought that up! I asked my therapist and actually they can go together a lot more than people think so thanks! This is really helping me a lot because I didn’t know much about it even tho I have it. This is helping me so much thank you!
I know this is old but I’m also a little
having a "cash me outside" alter would be interesting
Mark van de Hel lmfao
Mark van de Hel Dont
Mark van de Hel IM WHEEZING THAT WOULD BE AMAZING
Ahahahaha great !
So fascinating... What do alters see in the mirror? I can never get an answer to that question.
Sean Bragg I can't say what it's like for every system, but I know my guys feel uncomfortable by mirrors - they feel "caught off guard" in the reflection they see back. It's almost like if they don't look into the mirror they can forget that they're in a female body, but that bubble is burst if they see a reflection
From one nutjob to another... thank you for the honest input. I will relay that info at group next week. We don't have any DID in that group but we are studying it and all of us are quite interested in the facts. This group is mentally ill people trying to educate themselves on their illness. We got all types but no DID, so we are quite curious.
Sean Bragg I know I'm nowhere near as accurate as someone who actually has this, but in AP Pysch we were taught that most systems tend to see 'themselves' - for example, each of these alters had a drawing of themselves beside them at the start of the video, and we learned that alters tend to see /that/ person in the mirror. Of course this is different for different people, and again, I cant speak as well as those who have DID.
MultiplicityAndMe This is very similar to how being transgender feels, actually! it doesnt even occur to me what I actually look like until I catch a glimpse of myself and then I get pretty sad.
I have DID, and it took a few months to get an answer from everyone in my system but... when we look in the mirror, we each see the physical body, and there's slight changes to it. One of my more muscular alters see's himself as bigger than my body actually is, but it's all perception at the end of the day. I know they hate looking in the mirror most of the time as it's not the ACTUAL body they're used to facing back at them.
You all should take a Myers Briggs personality test for each alter
Interesting idea!!
She did a video on it: ruclips.net/video/iYVRrQZa8Ts/видео.html
Amber Locke oh god, did it take her 10000 years? It sounds so tedious
Me and my alters did the myers briggs test! I am an ENFP, roxx is an ENTP, Xavier is an INTJ, and maomi is too young to know the answers to all the questions!
I don't know how I got here, but this is so interesting.
Would any of you be willing to do a q&a video? You all seem lovely and I have so many questions!
Certainly :) we're always up for new ideas for videos and footage etc. Feel free to send Q's in xx
+multiplicityandme Ah than you so much! So Jess, since it's still your body, are you sometimes taken aback by what the boys wear, or how they do their hair?
I'm sure you must be very grateful for Ed sometimes, his taste is impeccable!
Where's Ollie? I didn't hear him or see him answer any questions.
Emily Baker This is my question as well.
Maybe he wouldn't come out? He may be shy and they just decided to cut his part out. Strange they didn't say anything though.
in my imagination i was like this
*slams hands on table* WHERES MY MANS, OLLIE!¡
idk why that entered my head, it's probably disrespectful, but i love Ollie so much 😂
Emily Baker he's very young. He's a child so he must have been shy, and maybe wasn't sure on how to act.
Emily Baker he's very young not appropriate In this video
Um not to be too inappropriate but is it only jess who is intimate with gaz or do some of the other alters have relationships with him
Not that it is any of ours business, but I myself would like to think that Gaz knows all of them well, and would therefore know when to stop. He is married to Jess, not the others. Therefore, he is only intimate with her. That's just my natural take on the matter
That's such a good question G O!
Gaz is my partner, but Ed is also intimate (as that's part of his 'role' as I can struggle with this) and Jamie is cuddly too, but that's it :) Jake is just friends and obviously Ollie is a child
Wow that's so fascinating, it's really wonderful you have a loving and supportive partner, you're made for each other. Thanks for sharing your journey and helping to teach others. :)
does it ever happen that Jamie Jake or ollie come out during time with gaz? What happens then?
The way Jamie says "Jake is by far the messiest." is so great lol You can tell they're brothers XD
They didn't even have to change. Their personalities just shine through.
Can you do the American accent when you're not Jake?
I'd love to see her try
Usually traits/talents do not carry over between alters. Of course every system is different but thats generally how it works.
I imagine it would be a lot like mimicking your friends voice.
It would likely take practice, like an American doing a French accent, or vice versa, etc...
it would probably make her switch forcibly so she might not want to try
Where was Ollie?
Mystery Person Omg, I was thinking that the whole time, I was like “isn’t there another one?” sh👀k
-Sara
Ollie was taking a nap
Didn’t she say Ollie was her little? I’ve realized not many people let their little out in videos.
You cant always make your alters come out. Mostly with the little ones they need to feel comfortable and safe in order to come out. Or if they just want to be playful. But ive noticed they keep to themselves and the “core” person.
yaa ollie is their little he was around 13 or 14 when this video came out, he's now almost 16, but i believe jess said they just didn't have time to film him too. he has his own day in the life though which you can watch on her channel !
Where was Ollie? Did he not wanna participate?
Lilac Shellshocker that’s what I was wondering
Maybe it's because Ollie is so young?
Same
I’m not sure about this but I think it’s true that until a little while ago, I believe that Jess and the older boys didn’t really want to show Ollie because he was so young and they wanted to keep him safe because younger alters or “littles” can often face confrontation.
"Littles" can be manipulated and forced into doing things that they dont want to do. If someone tells a little that they know their name, their age, their sibling etc etc info, they can have them do whatever. Littles have the same mental capacity as actual young kids and that's why people with DID don't disclose any information on their littles. Its safer that way and helps keep the system safe.
This video was so cool to watch. I have DID and I have never met anyone else who has it and I want to say thank you so much for making your channel. I have 6 Alters (besides me as the host) and a lot of people I have met think im insane and im gonna kill them or something. Thank you for trying to break the stigma.
i like how ed breaks so many gender norms :)
I keep forgetting Ed is a boy along with the rest.
Mikayla Anne I know! I love Ed’s style 😍
I love the way she uses the word ‘original person’ because lots of systems avoid that term, but I think it tends to confuse people more. Glad to be introduced to new terms :)
This was mesmerizing. Thank you so much for sharing.
WhisperCrayon no problem :)
I have a serious question!!
My brother has schizophrenia but also like 6 different personalities..(that I know of)
But he doesn't KNOW it.
How do you switch from one to the other? How did you GET to that part? Or is this completely different from my situation?
For him, he can switch personalities through the night.
Like not through the day.
He will act like an old man (one of personalities) and go to bed, waking up like a 3 year old (other personality).
some people will be aware while others will not be. it varies per person!
Jake reminds me of Thomas sanders in so many ways!!! I just want to give him hugs and just chill with him! Jamie seems like the one you want to just talk to for hours and never get bored and always get good advice! Ed seems like the guy you can go out and always have a good, personal time with. This is so intriguing. I'm absolutely so intrigued by this! Thank you so much for sharing this! This is incredible!
I've been thinking of it as Sanders Sides too, for some reason
I'm so happy to have found this today. I have DID and finding someone who can be brave enough to put thier experience on video is such respect.
I feel like if jake were a real boy, he'd be my perfect guy
Audrey fn i was thinking the same thing hahah like i found myself oddly attracted to him
Audrey fn I
Audrey fn he is real 😂
I am so proud of what you did here. It was beautiful and amazing. You treat your DID like true people with love and respect which means that you clearly love and respect yourself.
I'm sad I didn't get to meet Ollie but I'll keep watching. I'm so pleased to have found your channel and very happy to support it. Thanks for taking the time to educate us with the facts in the beginning as well. Well done.
since all your Alters are male, don't they hate it living in a girls body?
Ed seems like the type of person to feminin but I'm not quite sure about the others
Jake finds it particularly hard and will sometimes bind and spend a few days more like himself, but the rest don't seem to have as much dysphoria
+MultiplicityAndMe
thanks for clarifying!
It's so fascinating and simply impossible to understand if you don't have to deal with those "issues" yourself...
+MultiplicitAndMe make sure he binds safely!!!
MultiplicityAndMe omg i want to be friends with people with this! it'd be so interesting and cool. it isn't a genetic thing right, like if something bad enough happened to me, I could develop this?
TheBronzeGamer14
First off: why would you want this?!
Second: it's mostly common to appear in your early childhood
Third: it's still a disease. Nothing you should want to achieve
