...the birth of an alter....+1 ....the rapid switching doesn't happen to me, but considering the time constraints of a short film it's understandable.
@HappyDad98036 I'm not sure they're intimating rapid switching -- I think it's the dissociation going on inside the head, hence the title...If I switch like that it's a headache for sure!
all I can say is wow. sometimes it is like that. but i have a woderful support person who helps everyday. i never want to be "one", i would be lost. but order in the "house" is very nice.
Oh my God. I feel so sorry for people with D.I.D... Almost any kind of mental disorder really.... Its like they're falling through different layers of dreams or something, drowning in unreality...
@cosmoline626 Well, that is how it COULD be. I like this depiction of it, it's quite interesting. Certainly feels like that when we're particularly manic, but we can't do the rapid-switching thing like they showed -- switching between people like that would give me a serious splitting headache. Other than that, it's not bad. The stuff going on "behind" Daniel would be going on IN my head, not behind me -- but it's not bad.
@eclectictllc what i really liked is that when no one was touching his shoulder he was in front but you can tell he could still hear what was going on behind him. So true to life for me. sometimes i get a snippet of something and it is like WTF?! if the writer/director isn't a multiple he studied a lot and/or is close to someone who is. i think anyway. of course, jeremey sisto is brilliant in it.
Kudos to the filmmaker for tackling the subject of DID, but as someone who has the disorder I have to say that that is certainly not what it's actually like.
@leighannenoelle i gotta tell you, before learning to communicate it was a lot more like that internally. not always with insiders coming out like that but that amount of raucous noise and contempt for one another? we can certainly relate.
The cinematography in this was excellent, truly. And I'm amazed at how in sync two people were at talking. Even their tones and inflections were spot on! :) Excellent work.
@TheRisingAction When someone takes front and speaks it's not really like that, it's far far more invisible from the inside. But I was also impressed with the use of tone/inflection/mimicry to depict people taking front. VERY well done.
@lir0vid Then you missed the people inside his head arguing. That can happen -- but actually more often they CAN'T know what each other is doing and CAN'T have internal discussions or arguments :( That's the worst cases -- so you simply pass out of awareness and someone else slips in and does STUFF. When you slip back into awareness, you have no idea you even left -- it might be like waking from a dream. But things are off. "Wow, is it really 2?" or "Tuesday?" already?
@mjoek Thanks :) I felt quite blessed already ;) but hey, more blessings can't hurt. I'm never alone. I absolutely LOVE the people I live with. We help others who are "more disordered" than we are, and I like being a symbol of authentic living because I'm out of the closet as a multiple. Some people have far more trouble with it than we do. We're truly blessed.
@mjoek Thank you. It is. :) We're the lucky ones: from the moment we realized something was "up" those "in charge" took a very proactive stance and welcomed getting to know each other. There's such a wide variety of beliefs & personalities, but the overall culture is one of acceptance and curiosity about each other, and of shared responsibility. We clamp down on outright misbehavior, but not on self-expression, of our more resistant or "difficult" residents. It's an intentional community.
@ngfxoxo nope. :) It can be, but it doesn't have to be. This is just one way it CAN be. For me/us, some of what they depict rings true. But people in my head converse, console each other, give love & support. We don't switch that rapidly. That's painful. We live together much like a loving family would, with support and collaboration -- with the caveat that we share our body like a family of adults might have to share a car: We make do. Cramming us into 1 "person" wouldn't help us.
I am verry happy for you that you are able to say that ,it is verry real but not having it thus ridiculing it(in your case) seems to mean that life is happy and you haven't been/are living in hell
soo congratulations on that.
BTW do you base that opinion solery on this video ? thats a bit naive wouldn't you say?
Plz try not to ridicule people with D.I.D. you obviously don't have a clue
No, my life is very miserable actually. I will ridicule people all I want who are faking ridiculous made up "disorders". Obviously I have more of a clue than you because it seems as if you are fooled by this crap.
Also, here is a fun fact for you.
"In 1974, the highly influential book Sybil was published. As media coverage spiked, diagnoses climbed. There were 200 reported cases of MPD from 1880 to 1979, and 20,000 from 1980 to 1990."
it is true that there are a lot of fakes, or those that really want to escape reality. but there are real cases that patients have blanked out, and have no real memory. like sleep walking.
@jluvisions ..."those that really want to escape reality"....indeed! That is where DID comes from--from children who have been sexually abused, emotionally neglected, or hurt in a 100 other ways, beyond what most adults could tolerate...they want to escape reality, so to save themselves by dissociating, becoming "another" self. Over time, as their reality gets worse--or doesn't get better, the selves start to pile up and can create problems.
@HappyDad98036 My take: "want" is probably not the right term. It seems children who have inherited the ability to dissociate (there's some evidence of genetic influence), when pressed into circumstances where they FEEL their life is in danger, do what they can to survive. You may only dissociate this strongly when you've experienced something worth dying over: routine betrayal by caregivers, constant torment, extreme uncertainty or outright neglect -- or a combo that pushes you over the edge.
ArchNME, you are an idiot. Are you so small minded that you are only able to conceive of one single reason as to WHY this climb in diagnoses has happened? The reason why it has climbed it because it became more known, psychiatrists were more aware of it so when they had patients come to tell them they had these symptoms they diagnosed them with DID rather than not diagnosing them with anything at all and tell them they are crazy liars.
@ArchNME You're missing a fact. Correlate your cases of MPD/DID with cases of documented child abuse & neglect, and GUESS WHAT? You'll find a sharp spike at the same time. In the early 1970's, when I was being abused, child abuse was overlooked except in the most obvious and horrifying cases. Come the 70's and suddenly people realized children were being hurt and it wasn't always broken bones, burns, and concussions.
Interested - very well written. I've always been drawn to such mystery's as people that different personality's. I'm a writer, it's a subject I'm exploring in my writing. This short film is really well written, well acted and also the camera work & design really give that clinic a real sense.
my favourite bit of this (i've lost cocunt of how often i've watched it) is when ALL the voices are clamouring for attention and Jeremy's just tryin SO hard to say his name. its SUCH a brilliant moment of acting from Jeremy. This is just such a good small film, i agree it could be a feature release but i wouldnt want to risk it being...corrupted...didnt see the twist coming at ALL though. More shouty Jeremy, yum.
I LOVE IT
