So there seems to be a new fad in DID where adults (who have DID) can create new ones to add to the ones they were diagnosed with. They call them "source collectors". I call it bullshit, and here is why:
DID is formed when a small child is horrifically abused and the only avenue of escape the child has is their mind. The child has absolutely no one to turn to for comfort or help, so the child turns to their own brain for help...the brain splits so the child can "go away" during the abuse....
An adult, today, has many avenues for escape and help, and to say they are forming new alters rings bullshit to me. Adults with DID can develop new alters if they are experiencing extreme abuse again and are all alone, but that is extremely rare as I said before, nowadays there are avenues for adults to seek help and support. I believe that these people saying they are forming new alters as adults are just seeking more attention and want their 15 minutes of fame.
It amazes me how many fakers there are out there...DID is not a fun or glamorous condition...it is frustrating, confusing and the amnesia is frightening at times...I would not want anyone to have this, as it means they have been horrifically abused as a child, but to say you have it and were not abused, is so wrong....fakers are making it doubly hard for real DID people to be accepted and understood...
Please do not believe everything you see or read about DID...go to the professionals, like the CTAD clinic for the facts about DID...
The reason I will not ever let my alters be on our Youtube channel, is because DID is not entertainment, and I will not entertain the looky loos with my alters, period,
