Okay so I have seen a lot of explanations over the internet, all of them different from one another. I know what DID is but how does it work/how does one feel with it. Does the person forgets everything once the other personality ‘takes over’? Does the person remember what he did in his other personality once he returns back to normal? Does the person have control over when to change personalities. How does this whole thing work?

Hi, we have DID! It’s something that’s very difficult to explain to someone that doesn’t experience it, because it sounds so alien. Currently, there’s not enough good-faith research into plurality imo. But imagine your body is a car. A singlet (not a system) is the only person in the car and is the only person that drives it. For us, there are multiple people in the car and we take turns driving it. We call each other “headmates”, like roommates but sharing a brain. We have different likes, dislikes, genders, sexualities, voices, etc. just as any other two separate people. We have some amnesia between switching, but it’s not a total blackout, more like it’s really fuzzy. Every system is different, though. I would be more than happy to talk more about our experiences and the experiences of other systems that we’ve met.
