    As someone with dissociative identity disorder (formally known as very out dated term multiple personality disorder (which d.i.d. people really hate being called)).

    Usually Never, sense we control one body I would be considered suicidal tendencies.

    Although with d.i.d. everyone has different systems they have, as with just well. All Humans. All of us are different and present our d.i.d. in different ways. So theoretically a alter could, yes, but generally not very often.

    Source = my whole fuckin life.

      Hi! Back in reddit there was a DID community. Is there something equivalent in the fediverse? I’m not a system myself but I know a few and I am doing some research on the topic, so I’d be really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction

        I haven’t found one tbh. Although most of my d.i.d. type stuff for like acceptance and like not feeling alone is through TikTok as people there are less likely to be silenced for existing. If you follow the right people of course.

        Although if you looking for research stuff, try out the ring system on YouTube, there my go too for helping people who don’t have d.i.d. understand it. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCWOIKarfCsMwRJvQfe7915w

        But as always, remember every d.i.d. system is different, just like all humans and experiences.

    I’m not sure, but as a woman “with multiple personalities” I can say it fucking feels like it sometimes

    I think I once saw a (fictional) TV episode exploring that idea. I just can’t remember which series.

      Oddly enough…Rugrats if you can believe it. Chucky goes through a mental psychosis, and becomes skitzophrenic, and finds his dads gun by his bed.

      It’s so weird that I tried to come up with the most absurd thing possible, but I honestly could visualize a preschooler having a mental breakdown and shooting up the school. Welcome to life in America. Everythings made up, and the gun violence doesn’t matter.
