BEING THERE TO ME IS THE SENSE OF ONENESS THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED BY LIVING IN THE MOMENT WITHIN MY OWN AWARENESS.
Greetings Dear Readers. My Birth name is Martin and I was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder 31 years ago. I have been Battling over 27 different Personalities all within the One Mind and Body. Starting as a Toddler, I sadly underwent Years of Childhood Abuse & Trauma.
I have endured many Years of Suffering, Secrets and Decades of erratic Memory Loss. It has taken most of these past long years to be able to comprehend the How's and Whys such a Complicated & Bewildering illness has consumed my Life till now.
Private Therapy and hard work have led me up to this point knowing as much as I ever could without any Peer Support. This Hybrid Book (of sorts?) contains Facts, Research, Recovery Processes, Entertainment and hopefully some Rye Humour along the way. But the main reason I am doing this is to be of assistance to others in their Own Way to achieve THEIR Maximum Level of Recovery. God Bless You… Martin.
(This eNotion was created with the co-operation of many Alters, mostly I would Like to thank Maqis - MQ for His Creativity in Design, MardyGrub - MG for his Interconnectivity and Mad Marvin - MM who has brought me thus far after a failed Suicide attempt not long ago in Apr 2023.)

DID - Facts
D.I.D.: Dissociative Identity Disorder
- Definition: DID is characterized by a person’s identity fragmenting into two or more distinct personality states, often due to severe abuse.
- Symptoms: Individuals with DID experience memory loss, multiple identities or alters that control them, and identity transitions triggered by stress. This condition involves complex experiences of identity, memory, and consciousness, and requires careful, specialized treatment to manage
- Treatment: The primary treatment is long-term psychotherapy aimed at integrating the different personalities into one, supplemented by medications for associated psychological symptoms. This condition involves complex experiences of identity, memory, and consciousness, and requires careful, specialized treatment to manage.
The main cause of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is severe and repeated trauma during childhood. This trauma can include chronic severe physical or sexual abuse, wartime situations, or other overwhelming stressors. For those affected, the trauma triggers a disconnection and dissociation from their life, possibly as a protective mechanism to cope. In fact, about 90% of people with DID in the United States, Canada, and Europe have a history of such severe abuse or neglect during childhood. It’s a complex condition that involves experiencing a loss of connection between thoughts, memories, feelings, surroundings, behaviour, and identity.
