Cadence returns to share some information about her very first self-produced documentary about us as a physically able individual with invisible illnesses. She also outlines the structure of the podcast and the aim that it is trying to achieve. The link of the documentary is here.

Apologies for the sound quality issue, as we no longer have our previous podcasting platform and we were using our old mobile phone. We mainly want to direct our podcast audience into the documentary that Cadence produced in May 2024. We admit that’s neglectful of us and we feel sorry for you guys, but this is unfortunately a part of dissociative amnesia. 😓

Thank you for your patience while we have our hiatus. We have been rearranging the DIDebunk and we were pulled in various directions in life, but we are now coming back to focus on the podcast once again. The next episode [Series 1 Episode 25: Partial DID] will be published in August 2025.

We can’t wait to interact with our audience and get to know all of you! If you would like to stay in touch with us, please contact us anytime! We will answer your messages as soon as possible!

Note: We are not mental health professionals. We are only sharing our own personal experiences in the 5 bonuses. Please take care of yourself while listening.

Definitions by Black in Dissociative Galaxy Discord server:

Singlet: A Singlet is a person with only one and unique identity. A singlet is the opposite of someone plural. Singlets can also have extreme mood swings due to other disorders, but it isn't being plural: even if controlled by the emotion, per se, they are still in the control of their body. They can also be affected by dissociative disorders.

Outer World: For the alters who live inside the body, the "real" world is what they may call the Outside world. Some systems will also use the word "being out" instead of the word fronting.

Laeticia returns to DIDebunk to explain about blurring and blending: two common states in systems, as well as the indicators that DID and OSDD-1 members use to show that.

When Alters Blend by The Entropy System

Quoted definitions from Dissociative Galaxy Discord server, written by Black:

Blurring is usually a general identity confusion between the various alters who may be close to the front. It might also happen if the system is more dissociated due to triggers or too many alters are in front.
