Jamie (an alter) talks about our experience of functioning with flashbacks. We live our life with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and PTSD is part-in-parcel. However, we want to show that we can still function (and do!) despite our diagnosis and the effects it can give us. This is our story, and the effects of PTSD and/or DID may affect sufferers in different ways.

I carry a lot of trauma, and my boyfriend would always tell me to get over it. That life is life and I should just let it go. He once got so angry with me for having a panic attack because he was embarrassed. He left me a few days ago and it was crushing, because I do love him. But hearing Gaz try to calm you instead of shutting you out is a good reminder that I deserve more. And that there are partners out there who won't abandon you because of mental illness.

I hope you stick to this!!! I’ve had a man tell me to get over it and stop crying and get angry at me for it which only made it a worse while having a panic attack and hyperventilating and I’ve also had a man who sat there saying what can I do? And as soon as I was able to get out the word “cat” and he ran to get my cat & it calmed me down so much faster. (I’ve had my cat for 18 years and he knows when I’m having a panic attack and will put himself on me and lick my face and it grounds me) It makes a massive difference having someone supportive there in those moments. You are better off alone than with someone who makes it worse. Good luck with this new chapter in your life ♥️ you can do it!

I was aware that you guys have trauma and that it's the cause of your DID but actually hearing a panic attack really made me understand that fact. It was a really upsetting recording but what made me really upset and start crying was the idea that you guys had to go through something so bad and that someone did something so horrible to a child that this is the result. It took a lot of bravery to post that, but I feel like I've learned more about the PTSD side of DID just like everyone else who sees this video. Wish you guys the best, especially now with all of this uncertainty in the world!

Couldn't have put it in better words. My immediate feeling was one of needing to comfort and protect. I don't know them personally but a part of me wishes i could take some of the pain even if it would only give them a little relief. I cant imagine the terror of having to relive something like that. It takes so much courage to put up a video like this and with everything going on in the DID community, this is such an important message. Thank goodness they have Gaz. ❤

My partner has CPTSD and her panic attacks with/triggered by flashbacks sound so so similar to this. As a S/O, it is one of the most harrowing and horrific things to watch the person you love experience pain like this and to feel so useless. Listening to Gaz repeat the same things I say, the same way that I say them, is strange comfort to me. I do what I can, but most of the time, I am only her reminder to breathe. I admire the bravery it takes to show such vulnerability and honesty, especially with the nature of trauma-responses in DID and the openness of a platform like YT. Every day that I get to learn and listen to Jess and the boys is a privilege, and a step towards being a gentler and more understanding person overall. I am a better partner, daughter, and friend because of this channel. I approach the traumas of my loved ones, and my own trauma, with much more care and consideration. Thank you for sharing this with us, thank you for trusting us with this, and thank you for being a source of such light and compassion in a time of chaos like right now. ❤️

To be fair, some people who say they wish that they had DID have experienced intense childhood trauma and developed different coping mechanisms. Some of these people are alive, but living in a Hell mentally that they believe that having DID would give them a brief reprieve from. It's still wrong to look at someome with DID who was able to get educated and work despite PTSD and to see DID as something that could have made dealing with their trauma easier because it invalidates all the hard work the person with DID had to put in to get to that level of functioning, but I can understand why something struggling to cope with their own mental illness and still do basic necessary self care things like bathe because they're too triggered by something would see DID as having some part of you that cares enough about you to take care of you during rough patches when you're not able to take care of yourself, and it likely says a lot about the failings of the current systems we have in place to take care of the mentally ill that some people are too low functioning to take care of themselves, but see no way that they could find outside support, so instead they envy those who have protectors. What these people don't seem to understand is the survivor's bias fallacy. A lot of the people with DID that you see on youtube are educated and capable of working and self care, but those incapable of such things wouldn't usually be making youtube videos. You're seeing the "success stories" of people who have managed to get to this point of functionality, odds are there are plenty of people with DID coping just as poorly as those with PTSD and other mental health conditions.

FrickenDweeb Yeah, I know what you mean. I find those people often forget that DID isn’t that convenient. Sometimes a traumatized alter ends up being front stuck for long periods of time. Sometimes the only alter who is capable of, for example, taking a shower, is nowhere to be found. Sometimes an alter goes unexpectedly dormant and throws your entire life off balance. Sometimes time loss can be really scary and cause you to lose chunks of your life. It’s very much not just taking a break whenever you want. It’s being forced to take a break when you don’t want to, and then getting front stuck when the last thing you want is to be fronting. DID isn’t inherently “better” or “worse” than PTSD. They’re different disorders and each has its own challenges.

kaiyodei Was that seriously your first thought? Have some respect, dude 🙄 This isn’t the video to be making that type of comment on. M&M doesn’t have any fictives or inner world trauma as far as I know. And Jess has no access to their inner world anyway. Fictives with trauma from their source are, from what I’ve encountered, usually trauma holders who hold actual trauma from the system’s life, but with the safer distancing of being a fictional character. So while the memory itself is a false memory, the trauma is real. Does that make sense?

It's really hard to understand how badly they suck if you've never gone through them, but I believe your clip shows it really well. A part of my trauma was not expressing what was going on. I felt like I had to pretend to be okay to protect my family from all the ridicule I got from school. My panic attacks and flashbacks reflect that, they're quiet even when they're internally extremely violent, I just collapse, throw up, squeeze my own hand or leg, curl up in a ball and cry silently. I couldn't scream if I wanted to. It's interesting (as much as I had to take breaks in between) to see a loud version of that. The pain is real either way. I wish you all the best in your recovery.

i feel you. similarly to what you describe hiding my vulnerability was part of my trauma, and it still shows in my flashbacks/ resurfacing of trauma. especially when people are around it stays kind of under the surface, and i move into a dissociation when i´m triggered, but a kind of very automated fawning dissociation like i switch into a persona that is totally fine to hide that i´m breaking down, internally (and later then also outwardly, as soon as its safe) but throught the course of my trauam recovery i have learned to become louder and more expressive (when safe to do so) when i´m triggered, crying, sobbing screaming, and also physically going into positions that actually help my body to realese the trauma have proven useful to me.

At age 13 when you thought till that moment “I don’t have trauma and events that could cause trauma never happened to me” and were told “you went through traumatic events that you don’t remember” it must have been so difficult to process. It really must have caused a lot of pain for you when you started having panic attacks and other crises. I’m sorry that you had to deal with that

Phenomenal courage and bravery, sharing something here, that for us, at least, is accompanied by massive shame and self recrimination for just not knowing what is happening or has happened, despite it having been so real at the time. It has been a while since we had flashbacks so devastating as the audio you shared, but we do get the body and emotional memories often. This disorder is so very clever, this was not a conscious "thing" to not remember, but not remembering has allowed us, me, to have some level of normalcy in some small way. What you have shared here is so powerful, it was impossible to not be affected by it. I listened with gritted teeth and tight jaw and a fuzzy head, remembering the last time we can actually recall this happening to us, but no matter what, not remembering what we were remembering!! Jamie, you explained this for people so well, so clearly, people who may be experiencing these types of fbs and bms etc and not being able to understand the logic behind their seemingly illogical experiences! It's frustrating to us that we have a lot of insight into the theories and current understandings of dissociation and fbs and dysregulation etc but as yet, no clue how to pivot that insight in the direction of our own experiences in order to help ourself. In short, it's hard to have good insight when you cant remember much about much! Though at least with good info, with explanations with the clarity and simplicity that you employ to share them with us, Jamie, at least we are able to apply them in the wake of confusion, even if we cant at the time, which is a vast improvement on before when we were just in a full time muddle! Somehow hearing these things from you-as a system with whom we relate strongly, though our presentation is far less florid- those insights carry much more weight and meaning than when we have read them written by well intentioned therapists who admit to never having experienced these things. Again, we are going to say-you are so brave, courageous and powerful to override the instinct to file this stuff away, manually compartmentalise the mess and keep the fact of your success and "okness" at the front of peoples' minds. In fact, to me, seeing and hearing the truth of your vulnerability, I believe that you are so much MORE successful, MORE ok and do even better than I knew you did anyway! Because you are not successful "in spite" of these painful experiences, you are successful and manage so well in addition to these being a part of your life. The biggest thing that I will take away from watching this is: being vulnerable does not make a person weak. Allowing your fear and vulnerability to be visible and to be afraid but do it anyway, that makes you so incredibly powerful, so full of courage. And this is why you survived, all of you. Because you were able to use your strengths to weather the most fearful and terrifying and dangerous storms, and find creative ways to survive and thrive. What others see as that Hollywood "monster" to us, seeing you now.... you are no monster, you are a warrior. You are the writer of your story. Thank you 💜

I don’t have DID, but I have PTSD and all the memories of my traumatic childhood. I envy the amnesia part of DID, because I remember everything and with so much detail it’s unbearable. Not only that, my trauma made me a person with better than average memory, and that includes the trauma memories. Watching video’s about DID started as a curiosity thing for me, and I had no idea trauma is the thing that triggers DID to develop in the first place. After years of watching educational videos about DID, I’m now in the fase of processing the trauma memories and trying to heal from the traumas. Probably a lot of people watching your videos started watching because of curiosity, but some suffered traumatic situations too, like me, and are getting help from these videos, like me.

I'm so sorry about your struggles, I really relate. Unfortunately you'll have to come to a point where you can thank your lucky stars. I remember being eighteen and wishing I could just forget all my trauma memories - suddenly develop amnesia and be done with it. Little did I know that I did have amnesia. Four years later I met my alters who had hidden TONS of additional trauma from me that was so much more severe than anything I remembered. I think about that amnesia wish often, and I just have to tell you to be careful what you wish for. If you don't have amnesia, it's because your brain determined that it's possible to heal from this one day. The trauma I hold looks so manageable now - if I held what even one of them held, I would be dead. I am so grateful to hold what I do. Perspective is a funny, bittersweet thing. Take care 💜

The body memories are absolutely horrendous for us, we get them so long and so harsh that it can send us into a suicidal spiral if it doesn't end within a few days. This happens every month for around 5 days of increasingly long symptoms that then taper off after an apex of intensity. The flashbacks are are almost entirely tactile, with audio features, and with extreme insomnia, full body ratcheting up tension, and hyperarousal in every way. We have found nothing effective for this, grounding has made it worse, no medication has been approved for this shit... So now we self-medicate ourselves into a "coma" to get through. You guys are incredibly brave for showing this, we are terrified of being seen that way but it is so so helpful for us to see that we're not making this up. Thank you 🖤

Oh my heart. My heart for you all. I don’t know how to convey how strong, intelligent and wonderful you all are. I can’t believe how long I’ve been following you all - I’ve been so happy to see you get married, have a baby girl, Ollie growing and maturing, and you continually reaching out to help others at the same time and braving your own trauma. Thank you.

I respect Jamie and all of the rest of you so much for sharing so many personal things about yourself in the interest of educating others like myself who don't have DID or PTSD. It can't be an easy decision to put things like this out there - thank you so much for being so raw with us

It was SO brave for you to even post the audio of your attack up. The last time I heard someone crying like that they had dislocated their ankle during a rugby game. And just like then, hearing you cry out broke my heart. I cannot even fathom how terrifying it would be for your body to react to something you cant mentally remember happening. You are all so so so amazing. You are so tough and amazing warriors.

You are so brave for posting this, I feel like I’ve been following along for so long but it has NEVER hit like this. This is so important for people to know. This is raw and real.

when Jaimie said "one by one" ... that thought of someone having to go through all this trauma processing ... I literally had goosebumps. I'm really happy I don't have trauma right now. Thanks.

So, getting diagnosed and having a name to everything is very important to me but my psychiatrist barely agreed to even try diagnosing me and doesn't help think about potential diagnosiss i can get at all so im completely alone with this. Because i dont get any info from any professionals and because alot of the information online is either misleading or very confusing im having a really hard time to find any names that i can relate to. But, now that i heard that audio clip it just made sense to me. I think that it's gonna really help me identify my own problems. So i just wanted to say thank you for putting this out there, i cant imagine how hard it was but it means so much! Edit: they liked it Holy shit

Thank you so much for being vulnerable enough to show us what living with DID and trauma is like. So helpful for those of us dealing with CPTSD to see we aren’t alone and can still live normal lives.

I feel honored to be able to hear something that's so hard for you to go through. Every time I watch a video on DID/OSDD-1B (hope I got that right), and other hardships people have to go through I am struck by a few things: 1. How blessed we are to have people strong enough to talk about it 2. How incredibly wrong it is that these things are still stigmatized 3. How much we as the internet often demand answers or proof or footage, when really we don't need any of it - I am in awe of what I see, and would support your system, every system, and every one struggling...
