I have been falling into the rabbit hole of Dissociative Personality Disorder. Someone I know told me they have it, which prompted me to start doing a lot of research on the topic. It turns out the DSM-5 doesn't recognize it as a condition on its own (meaning, it can be explained by other existing pathologies) but from what I've been reading, it clearly is a phenomenon with very unique characteristics, as well as a lot of co-morbid symptoms shared with other dissociative disorders.

I was just curious if anyone here has had any experience, personal, vicarious or through scientific research, with #DID or dissociation in general. I am curious and would love to hear your stories about this.
