Let's start with names. What do I call my others? What are their characteristics? 

I figured out that my different identities don't always agree with each other, and I figured that out through sex. I'm now learning to negotiate behavior by establishing a democracy within my internal family.

Hi.

This is Plural Self.

This is a podcast about one individual struggling with dissociative identity disorder.

It's been a really difficult journey. I just got diagnosed like two weeks ago. And I just wanted to share my experience with the world, mainly because I know that this disorder can be extremely isolating. And one of my biggest challenges has been just overcoming that horrible fear of being completely alone on the planet. If I put this out there, maybe I'll connect with other people who have this disorder or people who haven't been diagnosed yet and have been wondering what the fuck has been going on with them.

So, tune in. Hopefully you'll hear some interesting things. And bare minimum, I hope I can change your perspective on mental illness so that you can stop treating those of us who are mentally ill like shit. 

Thanks.
