About My Puzzle Pieces: Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
I was never meant to have a family. Then I met the pieces of my trauma and realized the beauty that came from my own brokenness. Join in listening to the lived experience of someone with DID, learn about our inner world, how we function, and how trauma doesn’t have to stop anyone from living a full life.
Take a pill and it will all be better. Unfortunately, some cultures have the message that medications will solve everything. While we don't believe that is true, medications can be helpful. They can also be very complicated. This episode we are discussing our experience with medications and psychiatry as both professionals and people who take medications themselves. We are not prescribing or making medical recommendations but hope this episode can be helpful in learning how to talk about what you need to your supports and to professionals.

I Don't Like What I See
How we view ourselves can be really complicated. Unfortunately, culture and social media can place a lot importance on outer appearance. Along with this can come challenges with body image and our relationship with food. Trauma can make this even more complex. This week we are talking about our struggles with body image and disordered eating and ways we have tried to manage it.

There's More?!
We finally wrap up our conversations about DID and co-occurring disorders. Being diagnosed with DID is in and of itself a lot. It can be even more challenging when you add in other diagnoses or are unsure about other diagnoses. This week we finish up by talking about personality disorders and how they can be experienced with those with DID. We are only sharing our experience so please keep that in mind and reach out with any questions you have!
