Story Funny Thought About Having (Complex) Dissociative Identity Disorder

[CTBookOfLife]

Finding new alters in "batches" (multiple in the span of a week or so) is funny because you will get situations like this:

Finding three alters, one named Friend, another named Monster, and another named Cannibal...

...and having Friend be the most intimidating and Cannibal the LEAST.

Just system things, huh?

Hello,

Finding three alters, one named Friend, another named Monster, and another named Cannibal...

...and having Friend be the most intimidating and Cannibal the LEAST.

Just system things, huh?

I don't have DID, but in my journal and for some people, my name is Pat (Patricia).
It means "noble," but I think my life is total disgrace.

How often do you name alters? The more you name them, the more likely that your system have alters with self-contradictory names, I guess.

One named Friend, another named Monster

Are your alters inspired by Naoki Urasawa ? :)
If you don't get the references I will feel bad ahah

Hello,


I don't have DID, but in my journal and for some people, my name is Pat (Patricia).

Most of my alters either named themselves (often with my help), or are based off of fictional/factional sources and use their name from said source.

There are some that have names I have no explanation for, though.

Friend named itself (I'm not sure where they got the name from), Monster is named from a song lyric, and Cannibal is named from a song title.

Unfortunately, I don't get the reference, LOL, sorry!!! Two of these alters are based off of songs and one is fully "brain-made" with no "source!"

Also, something to add about these alters.

Monster formed with many narcissistic traits to deal with my self-hatred, a sort of "balancer."

On the flip side, Cannibal formed to "balance" Monster! He is very humble, you could say.

The first Image is a character names "Friend" from the manga series "20th Century Boy"


"Monster" is a manga series from the same manga artist, Naoki Urasawa.
They are both incredible stories so I totally recommend you them.

I thought your alters were related but sadly not !

lol after the passing of our true love, none of the local alters could function & we need to generate a new bach of residents (or at least re-skin them) in order to be functional again, so weve been basically running on fumes for a few months but i can tell you that the kid weve been calling "Roadkill Hero" perked up a TON at the name Cannibal

(as an organizational/structural alter, whos had to go through this cycle before, it gets a lot easier to integrate new sections into the whole functional social system once they chose a name, its like their first step to an identity- Algood)

LEGIT, the name is always the first step for us when finding a new fragment. And I know a therapist would probably frown on us purposely allowing fragments to develop when we already have around a thousand alters but..
