Who we are (drawings of alters)

Here are some drawings I've done of some of us. I'm trying to draw us all but it's a long process. Enjoy :)

@thepeoplearecrazy101

We are the same body as the WeAreSurreal account that posted a reply. Different account for personal videos versus these which we see as educational and/or self expression.

In our system (the one represented in the video) we have 16. We did not post the names of all the alters in the video simply because we were not aware of them at the time.

But yeah, to answer your question, our system represented in the video has 16 alters that we know of.

what does it mean to have a "protector"?

[MaxP0wer25]

I got this from a website:

"Think about DID from a childs perspective. The point of having alter parts is to protect the child from being harmed. While the child flees the body through dissociation, she leaves behind a protector part to fight back and provide the child with the illusion of safety."

To put it simply, it's an alter state that protects other alters who are too fearful to protect themselves. Chris is a protector of my child parts. ONLY the child parts. He is very agressive.

I ask because I am very curious about this and always have been. I've heard of eye color changing when a new 'personality' takes over. I've heard they affect electronics as well. As someone that studies spirits I can't help but wonder if they come in to help another soul who is in a situation that one soul alone can't handle. I hope you are having a good day!

Thanks so MUCH for your drawings!  But about 7years ago, I had an alter appear who said she was 16 and wanted to draw some of the alters. (Personally, I had never picked up a pencil to draw anything...and can't!)"Ruth Anne" began drawing alters, many of whom I didn't even know about. (Others, I did.) SHE seems to "know" everyone in the system.

This process is like "getting to know ourselves" better.(But, I never KNEW that anyone else ever drew their own alters, too.)Thanks!

Wow....beautiful. Thank you for posting and sharing. I have a friend with DID...she has an alter named "The Artist", but hasn't wanted to draw any of them. I think I will show her yours and see what she thinks.

Hello! I loved the portraits of you all! I can't wait to see the portraits of the rest of you!

Cheers,
