Heya, so I know it's alot to ask for five mins in front of a camera , your own camera , it would just be so beneficial from people that experienced the good the bad and the ugly with and without being aware of my condition. Often portrayed in movies like split, the beast alter climbing walls, and many YouTube creators changing outfits ect for each switch . We would love to show the true authenticity of our Disorder and your recall and input would be more then appreciated.

So I've had a friend reach out to me , not wanting to be named but happy to be known from one of my home towns, Totnes Devon. I'd met him and had been close to him for a couple of years, I then moved back to Australia. On my return to Devon England I had approached this person as a mutual friend of ours had been talking and i introduced myself. I had no memories of who he was and the time I had known him for. He was confused but thought I was pulling his leg. I still hold no memory of our time together but photos before social media show me another story. DID is confusing and embarrassing and so many emotions we cannot express. The fact people know more about me Molly then I do , recall and have memories I don't and can't access is very hard to comprehend. Thankyou friend for sharing

A few of you have responded to us and asked the same question, and it's a really great one!
What will I talk about? So we have decided to give some ideas that might help you out.

Can you remember when we first met? What was the situation like, and where were we?

Did you notice any changes in my behavior or personality or any changes at all, depending on who you were talking to? What stood out to you?

How do you think knowing me and my alters has affected your life? Any particular moments that stick in your memory?

What did you like or dislike about interacting with different parts of me? Any quirks or traits that stood out?

Have there been any challenges in our relationship because of my DID? How did we navigate them?

How has knowing someone with DID changed your views on mental health or understanding others?

Looking back, what lessons do you think you've learned from our journey together?

Invitation to Participate in a documentary on Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder

Dear friends, family and passing ships in the seas.

I hope this message finds you well. As someone who has been a part of my life journey, I am reaching out to you with an opportunity to participate in a deeply meaningful project that aims to shed light on an often misunderstood aspect of mental health – Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

Over the years, I have navigated the complexities of living with DID, and it has been a journey filled with challenges, growth, and resilience. As you may know, DID involves the presence of two or more distinct personality states or identities, each with its own unique way of perceiving and interacting with the world. These identities, or "alters," have coexisted within me, shaping my experiences and perspectives in profound ways. Creating bonds and cherished memories with different people around the world on our travels, simultaneously blocking out others health or not.

I am embarking on a personal documentary project that seeks to share the multifaceted reality of living with DID, and I believe your perspective would greatly enrich this narrative. Your insights, memories, and reflections as someone who has witnessed firsthand the interactions between myself and my alters are invaluable. May they be happy, sad, disappointing, or forever etched in your mind we only want the truth, a great example would be to describe molly's personality of the person you knew and /or met.

Your participation in this documentary would not only honor our shared experiences but also contribute to a greater understanding of DID within our community and beyond. By sharing our stories, we have the power to challenge stigma, foster empathy, and inspire hope for those who may be navigating similar journeys.

I understand that this may be a deeply personal and sensitive topic, and I want to assure you that your comfort and boundaries will be respected throughout the filming process. If you are open to participating, I invite you to create a 5-minute video sharing whatever you feel comfortable talking about – whether it's memories, both good and bad, or how our condition has affected your life. Your honesty and authenticity will be cherished, and your video will play a crucial role in shaping the narrative of this documentary.

If you are open to participating or would like to learn more about the documentary, please feel free to reach out to me at your earliest convenience and dm me your video and we will triple check you are comfortable. Your perspective is invaluable, and we would be honored to have you join us in this endeavor.

By sharing our stories, we have the power to challenge stigma, foster empathy, and inspire hope for those who may be navigating similar journeys.

Warm regards,

Molly and co
