Feelin Weird

44. Dissociative Identity Disorder (aka Multiplicity)


Listen Later

Cher shares his experience with D.I.D.*; being trans; having an abusive step-father; being bullied; and his various alters ("alternate personalities").

CW: suicide, emotional & physical abuse, homophobia, transphobia, bullying.

D.I.D. is often portrayed through a negative lens in the media, but now we have a chance to hear first hand what it's like to live with.

Cher also talks about:
his transphobic father and mother (a doctor) who doesn't believe in meds or mental illness; coping with trauma and PTSD; shame spirals; suicide attempts; anxiety and depression; medication; therapy; being misgendered as a child; and SO much more.

(*the media has labeled D.I.D. "Multiple Personality Disorder" though it is not a personality disorder--it's also referred to as split personalities or multiplicity).
