As I discover my parts, I am exploring & sharing what I learn
After watching several DID Systems produce videos from their point of view, we thought it might be interesting to also show the world what a day can feel like in our brain. Here's a three-minute video showing how it feels from our POV on a good day when we went out to the Farmer's Market.... Continue Reading →
Having DID is like: This is the experience of our system, not to be interpreted as anyone else’s.
