Resources

Here are some resources we’ve compiled about DID! Not everyone experiences DID the same way, so you’ll notice some discrepancies in language, symptoms, and so forth. We can only speak to our own experiences; here you can explore other people describing their own, as well as research studies that have been conducted on DID.

Trigger warnings: child abuse, sexual abuse, suicidal ideation, eating disorders
