how to write a character with DID, a thread!! (may be updated a lot)
DO NOT GIVE THEM A MURDER ALTER THAT IS LITERALLY SO STEREOTYPICAL AND HARMFUL THIS ALSO GOES WITH DON& #39;T MAKE THEM VIOLENT
Multiple Personality Disorder is an outdated term, if your character with DID says they& #39;re a system do not use the term Multiple Personality Disorder, use Dissociative Identity Disorder and this goes along with don& #39;t call headmates or alters "personalities"
Don& #39;t base headmates / alters off of emotions.
Your character must be distressed by the disorder or have trouble functioning in one or more major life areas because of the disorder.
DID isn& #39;t just alters, there& #39;s way more to it by the way. EX: childhood trauma, switches, amnesia, and etc.
Don& #39;t do unrealistic switching like what Toko and Syo do.
Learning alter roles is really important and don& #39;t glamorize DID plea
even tho im a system im not a expert i dont know everything so please odnt expect me to answer every single question you have
muting this thread now anyways
