System Changes and Surprising Symptoms 

*Opens the video, sees the bow in the hair* Hi Kit. "I'm Kit" Nailed it.

Wow your therapist sounds AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just a comment about the alter that wanted (was it your partner?) to be her dad? We had a really weird thing happen the other week. Our psychiatrist (a man) and our therapist (a woman) have been with us for about 6 years now. And recently, they’ve been the only people we want to hear from. Especially when distressed. The only people we want assurance from. And I don’t know if it was an alter or just a thought from everyone, was “they’re mum and dad”. And it freaked us the hell out. We didn’t say anything about it for like 2 weeks. Then one day, on the phone to our therapist, we were upset and was trying to explain how for some reason her and our doctor meant more right now than ever. And she slowly pressed us to explain more but I couldn’t say it out loud. Then she asked “do you think of us as mum and dad?” And I said yes and cried out of embarrassment and relief and I don’t know. And she said it was completely understandable and at our next face to face session she explained this whole thing (using some toy figurines she has) about how and why her and our doctor feel like that to us and that it’s ok. But man, it freaked us out at first. Coz it felt wrong and stupid. But yeah. Hope that made some sense (sorry I couldn’t go into details and stuff) but yeah.

Poor Jonathan. 😞 What a experience for Wyn and all of you. Litterly mindblowing. And Kit, you are doing great and explaining everything so clear and I love your bow...Take care you guys....

1. Andrew is amazing 2. Your therapist sounds absolutely fantastic 3. We've experienced this a few times. Jade, one of our littles, holds some memories of our most severe trauma. When she is triggered, much like how an extreme emotion like anxiety or fear or anger and echo throughout the system, so can the incredibly intense flashbacks. Even alters like Sara or W that aren't trauma touched at all have dealt with either the sleep paralysis flashbacks or the full blown hallucinations while they are fully conscious and with Jade very much inspace. It's frankly one of the most terrifying things we've dealt with as a system, because the first time that happens, we also had no idea what the fuck was going on. They are still terrifying because they are so disjointed and the way the hallucinations stack on top of reality is incredibly distressing for everyone. We usually light a candle and blast music to ground our senses, but mostly we just have to ride it out.

Jonathan, I remember your video, you are the must loving person I have ever met. Don't let this hurt you, you are pure love 💕 I would love to see you more often, to hear what you have to say, because you are important, many of us are here to support you the same way we do to Wyn and the rest of you.

Y'all (including Saint Andrew) deserve awards for continually exhibiting strength, patience, and empathy throughout this difficult process that is everyday existence. I so admire your commitment to each other and to the betterment of this world by sharing your stories.

I’m so annoyed that when I’m trying to read comments under videos about dissociation, my eyes get blurry coz my brains try to protect me and it’s really frustrating 😖

Aw Andrew is actually the sweetest.

So, I'm undiagnosed but i have experienced vivid hallucinations brought on by my alters when i was repressing. It actually gave me so much turmoil that a new alter named Jarred was formed to comfort me.

I really admire how brave and confident you all are to share such a personal story in the name of education. Keep up the great work, I really love your videos, and I hope everything works out for you guys :)

At like 14 minutes, Kit talks about how even though yes you are all pieces of a whole, you are definitely your own unique and important individuals and I don't think I've thought of it that way but it makes a lot of sense and I'm so happy that Jonathon was validated and given comfort and some peace, im glad Karen was given you and comfort as well as Josh and I'm just very thankful that you are all in safe hands ❤ not knowing about the hallucination situation sounds scary as all hell and I'm glad you guys are all okay👍

Can I just say that Andrew really is a lovely husband to help Karen and Todd like that. I'm not sure how they are lately but from your previous videos they seem very shy and often scared, but overall they seem like nice littles so I'm glad that Andrew could make them feel more comfortable. I hope Jonathan feels better soon, and since you mentioned that he's coming out more often maybe we'll see him sometime soon?

This happens to us too, so youre definitely not alone. Not just with flashbacks but one of our littles has paranoid visual halucinations when he's triggered and whoever is in the body at the time will see like a "watered down" version of it.

Johnathan sounds a lot like my alter Twilla, she's a wolf. She had the femine role that i couldn't fill, but when my partner helped me with that fear and i got more comfortable, twilla got really mad and left (we think she integrated for a month). But she came back and her role changed to the caregiver who stays in the back and calms everyone. ^_^ I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!!! Thank you

Oh, wow! Poor Jonathan. I can only barely begin to imagine the fear, panic and confusion he must have felt. However, just like a person who is a doctor is not JUST a doctor, none of you guys are JUST any particular thing. You're whole, amazing and wonderful people, each with so much to give to the world! I'd love for us all to get to know Jonathan better, but if he is uncomfortable filming much, it still brings me happiness to know that he'd like to be out more and find his own interests outside, and kind of reorient himself. He has always seemed such an wonderfully compassionate and kind person, and I am so glad his anxieties are fading to rest. My mother only had those alters integrate which wanted to and she agreed with; the others are still with her, though the capacities in which they're needed for support have changed greatly, and now they all mostly relax and get to just pursue their own interests. They're just like the closest of friends and family. I very much wish that Jonathan will be able to find a new meaning and peaceful enjoyment for himself and the system. We all change throughout life and now he is finding a new path and way to support the system while also discovering more for just himself, and that should be an exciting time for him if he can let the anxieties be put to bed, and be assured that he doesn't have to take that journey alone if he doesn't want to. On related note, I am so, so pleased to hear that Josh and Karen are doing so well, it sounds like they are moving towards some healing and happier, healthier place. I can't imagine how disorienting and scary the flashback hallucinations must have been for Wyn. And poor Jonathan, too! I have had many instances of sleep paralysis, and even knowing what's happening, it can be quite panic inducing. Your therapist however sounds really lovely and I'm glad the experience was clarified, if a bit late! Also, Kit, I absolutely love your bow! It is freaking awesome. I'm glad you've been given your proper title and more importantly, recognition for the boots you've filled lately. Phew, this video was just an emotional rollercoaster, but I surely am grateful you chose to share all of this with us. I always love any chance to get to know the system more and very much enjoy both the educational and then fun videos. In my perspective, it's incredibly important and beneficial work that you guys do, and I can't express adequately how much it has positively affected my mother and I to have your videos to look forward to and be able to show other people. So thank you, for everything you all do. 💞

Man, That's wild... And thank you for sharing with us! I'm honestly surprised that something like that hasn't happened to us yet if it ever were to happen! I have a father figure alter, who's cofronting as I type this, and he really resonated with Jonathan's fear/concern of becoming obscure. So much so that he started tearing up... I hadn't even realized that he'd had similar concerns... He does tend to be silent about his troubles...

Hiya Kit! Yes, we have (particularly me as host!) experienced hallucinations when others have been in flashback. So much so way back in therapy 15 years ago we were put on a mild antipsychotic to try to control it. It helped quite a lot (it didn't effect the inside at all) and after the flashbacks lessened we came off it again. It totally freaked me out at first but I was also told it was quite common and nothing to be afraid of (ha!). Love the channel and love you all, we opted to all stay around rather than integrate and we have had 16 years trauma and DID therapy between us all. What we did learn was there is no predicting what would happen next with DID, it's as different for each system as all of us are different people. Love the hair bow! -Lin

Wow! I would've never thought this was possible. Honestly the whole experience sounds terrifying and I'm sorry you had to go through that, my goodness. I also want to say that I personally feel for Jonathon. It must have been quite a tough time for him but I'm glad that he's calmed down and everything has settled a bit. It's always awesome to watch your videos and I can't wait for the next one. I wish you good luck!

Andrew seems like an absolutely amazing person. Congrats to Karen and good luck to Jonathan!

I get sleep paralysis ALL the time & even though I'm now aware that that is what's happening (almost lucid dreaming), it's still really frightening. Once my mom was staying over & she's almost 70 & can't sleep on my couch so I let her sleep next to me. At some point in the night I "saw" her walk around the bed and as she walked by me she lunged her face towards me, then walked through the wall, even though I could still feel her next to me. It was so real that when I could finally, actually wake up I had to stay still & listen for her breathing, because I thought, "what if she had passed away & I had just seen her soul". Other times (this is the most frequent thing that happens), I am having hallucinations of various events...all very bizarre & I'm trying to turn my lamp on, but it won''t turn on. I go through about 4-5 cycles of thinking I'm awake & trying to turn on the lamp before I can actually pull myself out of it.

I think what Jonathan needs to understand is that when he integrates, he's actually more important than ever, because at that point, he will have fused with Wyn and, therefore, forever be an important part of her life. He has self esteem issues and doesn't wanna feel like he's not needed anymore. Almost like he's forgotten that he's a fragment of Wyn's memories, and therefore, always important, no matter the situation. I'm glad your amazing therapist calmed him down. I hope you never lose her, cuz she sounds fantastic.

That sounds like a really terrifying hallucination... I absolutly hate mine, and they're ussually so much smaller... I'm glad you got it all cleared up. Good luck to you guys and Jonathon and everyone and adapting. Great video!

Loving the bow clip and the silvery eyeshadow!!

I have experience with sleep paralysis, for the past couple of years when it happens it’s like a guy (sometimes a real guy I’ve been with and sometimes a made up guy) is spooning me from behind and putting his arms around me. At first I was scared but then I started to feel more comfortable with it and enjoy the snuggling.

We have had lots of hallucination-like things happen to us, for the most of our lives. Which is contributing to our past of a lot of misdiagnosis…

Hey! I have a question How can Kit talk very clearly about what Wyn felt? It's like you both are getting closer ♥️ Any of you are just a piece, you are important. Love you all 💕 thanks for keeping us updated!

Hope everyone feels better! I am the caretaker of the littles in our system and they've said that I'm like an older brother to them. I totally understand (or at least have some understanding) of that fear -kai

I have DID and schizophrenia so I hallucinate too. Losing touch is scary.💔 my heart goes out to you guys.💞

First of all, Andrew is AMAZING. Straight up amazing. I’m sorry that Jonathan was so upset because of that. Don’t let that hurt you. You are still nothing but love. Your role in the system is still so important 💗 YOU are important. Always be who YOU want to be 💗 Sleep paralysis is so terrifying! I’ve experienced it ONCE in my entire life. I couldn’t imagine experiencing it over and over and over again. & Your therapist is so amazing. So smart. So supportive. And I’m glad she got to talk to Jonathan about his fears & he got to calm/settle down and feels more comfortable with himself and in the system. Much love for you all. 💗

When you were describing this it reminded me of my own sleep paralysis. It used to be a radio playing quite often and every time I started to realize it was sleep paralysis it would start over again so that is extremely relatable, to me.

Wow! So happy to hear that Andrew and your therapist are so supportive- that's great! That's how it should be. :)

I just wanted to thank you for this. It is possible that I'm living with DID, and it's been suggested to me that this might to be the case by a therapist. When I started - very very reluctantly just a few days ago - to seriously consider the possibility, there was a massive sense of panic from all the other "parts" of me (Alters?) that have distinct roles and personalities in my life. They were TERRIFIED of being forced to disappear. Just an overwhelming scream of "nooooooooooo" from all directions to the idea of integrating in any way. All of me decided not to seek out therapy because of that. The stress of the idea was too much. When you were talking about your therapist reassuring Johnathan that he wasn't being asked to integrate, all of me got instantly more calm and relaxed. You just helped me out of what was feeling like a crisis. Thank you so much!

Kit! You and i must be "soul" sisters, our personalities are so much alike, in the inner world i even look a lot like you down to wearing a bow in my hair and i'm one of just a couple of alters that wear make up in our system, and i am one of four co-host fronting alters. Regarding the video, we do suffer from flashbacks and have had hallucinations although not as much now as we have had in the past. Our "littles" also call our partner Dad and Daddy, it took a long time for them to realize he wasn't going to be another "bad" daddy though but things all work out with time and patience. Thank you Entropy System for all of your educational videos, they are quite helpful even for us much older systems. ♥ donna ♥

thank you for keeping us updated, it’s so interesting to know about your system, keep going

This brought a lot of peace to my system, thank you. This video made us so emotional. ;O; You guys are wonderful, just subscribed and will be checking out other videos.

Woah this video made me feel a whole bunch of emotions I'm super happy to know that everyone is doing better now, even if you had a hard time! I'll send you all the best of vibes and hope you keep on healing and getting more comfortable with yourselves as individuals 💕 love you, guys!

Great video kit! I feel like you’re maturing so much and becoming such an important part of your system. Amazing!

I'm glad you guys are doing better! Lots of love from Mexico :)

Thank you so much for sharing! It's really helpful to learn about something like this could happen so we aren't that overwhelmed IF it ever happens. Hope that makes any sense. Hope you have a good week xx

I know it's been months since you posted this video, but this is really helpful for us. I think similar changes are happening for us at the moment - it's comforting to watch your video and see how this happens to other systems as well.

kit i enjoy your videos so thoroughly! you’re so articulate and insightful its amazing. hope you all are doing well❤️

Can someone give Jonathan a hug for me? Probably won't mean much, but my heart goes out to everyone in the system. Thanks for letting people like me (people watching youtube) be part of this journey.

I’ve had sleep paralysis multiple times and it’s terrifying. I’ve had sleep paralysis incidents where something is holding my ankles or screaming in my ear. It’s so awful. I would never wish it on anyone. Especially you! I’m super glad I found your channel. It’s great. Wishing you well. 💕

Kit! I love the fashion changes! You've said before fashion interests you, so it makes sense you'd wanna wear more than just one thing! Mixing it up is everything.

Thank you thank you thank you! These videos have been amazing! We only recently figured out we're multiples, and its been a difficult journey. We've been watching y'alls videos over the last few days, and it has really helped us figure out more about what has been going on with us. Things are finally making sense!

Andrew is AMAZING!!! What an incredible awesome man! Also, I'm so glad you were able to figure this out - it sounds like the kind of thing that would continue to be really freaky if it ever happened again, but knowing what's going on makes a huge difference. Thank you for posting this so others with DID can learn and be prepared if this ever happens to them.

Thanks for talking about this, Kit. And thanks to Wyn and Jonathan for agreeing to let it be shared. It's an important aspect of DID that I haven't seen mentioned much. And it will help others experiencing/experienced it to know they are not alone in having had hallucinations.

this is so great to learn about. i don’t have DID, nor do i know anyone who has it. thank you for being so informative. :))

Wow. So glad you are all ok. I hope you get more answers the more you look. ❤️

Super interesting watching these uploads. I think your system is so intelligent!

Wow what an experience! Thank you for sharing! I’m super glad your therapist is so awesome! ❤️

We have those sleep issues as well. They are terrifying! We also see things that aren't there. Which is terrifying. But never second hand flashbacks that bad. We feel the anxiety and fear.

this fits something my partner experienced and having it put so clearly into words helps so much I love this channel so much

utterly amazing!! i studied psych in college (major) specialized in, then known as, MPD, but have never heard of this. that must have been so scary for you all!! glad you are all feeling better about it though. and your therapist sounds amazing!!

I've been looking at DID videos and I can relate to a lot of your experiences. It's a little confusing because i don't think I'm fully dissociative but i probably wouldn't know without proper diagnosis but your videos are very helpful and make me feel "normal" so thank you!

Can completely relate to this. It’s absolutely horrendous when an Alter who isn’t or doesn’t front gets massively triggered. Sometimes it can be multiple Alters all going off at the same time...though don’t know if this only happens in polyfragmented systems. For us personally the worst is when a whole group of Littles completely loses it because it throws the whole system out.

We’re not sure what kind of system we are, but we are trying to research as much as we can. We get really worried about the way our system functions because we have lots of fictives and some of them are from recent media. Yes, we know new fictives can form due to recent trauma and we have definitely been having a hard time. But we still worry, y’know? System denial is a hell of a drug. Videos like this help us understand that every system functions differently but we’re all valid

Me and my alter Psycho are the only ones who hallucinate and hear voices in our entire system.

I am usually a silent watcher, but I just love How supportive everyone is and I am so happy for you, for all the Support and love your getting. It makes be believe we achieve more awarness and Support for people with did and other mental ilness'

Hi Entropy System! I feel like I read something about hallucinations and DID in a book by Oliver Sacks called Hallucinations. Also just wanted to say that some of your videos are so well made and educational i've actually shown them in a college level course that I T.A for at my University!

similarly ... if someone is sleeping and I am awake, I experience their dream states ... took me a while to figure that freaky situation out :) I also get everyone's flashbacks as visual layering over my own present visual reality (feels a bit like hallucinations) - we are really co-conscious so in such situations I get to see everyone's trauma and can therefore assist in the moment with working through trauma and helping with the healing process. Glad you guys are doing so great! So happy for happy littles. x

Thank you Kit for explaining this! You did a great job. How Jonathan feels is kinda how I feel. I'm not a system, but I am the second oldest of 8 close-knit cousins. I'm second by a few months and the oldest girl, so I have had to be the leader a big sister to all of them, and a second big sister to the two youngest who have the two other girls in the family as their sister. As we are getting older, I'm needed in a friend role and not as much a parent role (though I do have to correct the older kids on occasion) instead of herding a bunch of cats who all want and need my attention right then and there. It's hard to accept that your role has changed, but accepting and moving into that role at your own pace helps. It is easier for me to hang out with the girls and talk about stuff now that both girls are older and we can all have big girl chats, and it's way easier to 'parent' just one crazy boy than to try herding 3 boys including a young toddler and 2 girls. I'm glad all 8 of us are growing, but it's hard to accept that you need to be a friend more than a parent figure. I hope this helps❤️

Oh my gosh I can’t imagine what you all are going through. I mean beyond usual haha. That’s a so many changes to have in a short period though. I’m impressed at how well you all are doing though 💙 I’m also glad that Jonathan is doing better. It’s different, totally, but I’ve had times where in my friend groups my role in them changed as the group changed and it’s scary. You start to wonder why you’re in the group, what your purpose is. But at the end of the day, roles are not definitions of self. I’m glad he’s starting to figure that out. 😊 As for sleep paralysis turned hallucinations, omfg that sounds terrifying. I’m glad Wyn was able to bring herself out of the hallucinations with the basically sensory overload. Personally I’ve never had full blown hallucinations but I’ve experienced waking dreams/waking nightmares which is a form of intense sleep paralysis basically. It’s basically like I’m having a dream (or nightmare) set in the space where I am but my eyes are open and I’m aware that what’s happening around me should not be (example my bf being on his side next to me and rubbing my arm while I’m freaking out cause I didn’t want him judging my messy room lol) but I can’t move or speak or change anything. In general waking dreams are neutral dreams for me, not particularly good or bad. Or there’ll be a good thing happening but my anxiety is going off about something making it neutral overall. As for waking nightmares, its like it sounds. I have felt the both hot and cold breath of a shadow demon leering over me and I couldn’t move. But yeah those are my thoughts on the video. I love all of you guys so much! Byyyeee

Hi! For one, I love your guys videos. Although I'm ashamed to admit it, I believed a lot of those stereotypes about DID for the longest time but now I'm so interested in it and you guys helped me understand it so well! I know that I don't have as much information as I should, but coming from someone who is apart of the mental health community and wants to possibly go into psychology or be children's therapist, This 1. Helps me a lot to try and help others who may be going through the same thing, and 2. Warms my heart to see that stereotypes around DID and mental health in general are changing. You guys helped make a place were I can feel ok to talk about what is actually going on, and I thank you so much for that.

I'm coming back to you guys' videos after a year or two and it is refreshing to feel like life is starting to make sense again. I've finally decided I'm going to therapy for the first time, and I eventually want to get a diagnosis but I'm so terrified that I will get someone that doesn't know much about DID or pushes stigma about it. Watching all of your videos and hearing the experiences you all have with your therapist makes me feel a little more confident about trying to find someone that is good for me :) Thank you all and stay blessed!

This actually confirms something I've been experiencing since before I even knew I had a System that was more than just myself. I tend to refer to them as 'memory echoes'. Like they feel like a memory, but they are also the multiple forms of hallucinations you describe. Sometimes they would be identical ones repeating, sometimes other ones in random order, then it would seem more like lucid dreaming and/or brand new. I couldn't work out what they were, whether they were a memory of a memory of a memory etc, something I made up, a bunch of hallucinations. They'd tend to start when I was asleep and I'd wake up to it happening. The main point in connection to them was 'how could I make this up? I didn't even know those things could occur until they'd occur'. Also, the age I remember them starting at was so so young, I thought that it was normal for everyone. When I found it wasn't, I became more and more embarrassed the more they happened and the older the body became.

omg, now i understand why got jonathan so upset on tumblr that day. thank you to kit for explaining it so beautifully and thanks to all of you in the system for sharing this part of your journey with us. and kit! it's cool that you've taken on co-hosting, i'm looking forward to hearing for from you! :)

Thank you for being brave enough to share such a personal/vulnerable experience in order to educate. You guys are so amazing. I've never heard of this before, I'm sad there's apparently no other websites or books discussing it but I will attempt to research it because of how fascinating it is. x

This was so lovely !! I’m going thru watching a lot of ur videos today as I organize my sacred space / workshop space and it’s just such good information and I feel so “seen” even tho u don’t know me lol

This is just absolutely blowing my mind. What an experience...! This is all beyond interesting. I love your videos, love getting to know all the headmates and learning more about DID and you as a multiple. I am so glad I discovered this channel! I hope Jonathan is feeling better now. And Wyn as well...! The experience must have been terrifying. I'm sending loads of love in your direction! Thank you so much for all your videos...!! Cheers! Also, send my love to Andrew please, he seems like the most amazing person ever. What a blessing.

Thanks so much for this informative video! It makes so much sense, what your T told you about the connection between hallucinations and other alter's experiences! I'm glad your therapist was able to help provide you with good information about the link between DID and hallucinations--like, really, this was awesome to discover for me. I have DID (tho my system functions more like OSDD) and have experienced hallucinations and psychosis since early childhood. While I was sometimes able to tell that my hallucinations were related to other alter's experiences, I wasn't sure about this, and have never heard the correlation stated so clearly from a professional source, so thank you so much for sharing! I have always had the intuition that they were related to my being part of a system, and never found meds helpful in decreasing the symptoms so now I manage without. (Btw, I thought you did a great job describing your hallucinatory experience, I find them so surreal and hard to put to words!) Also, if you're feeling worried at all about hallucinating feel free to reach out to talk. My T (who isn't a DID specialist but is a trauma specialist and really great) explained to me that I don't have to be scared of the fact that I experience hallucinations. Like emotions, hallucinations are neither good nor bad, they just are; It doesn't mean I'm "crazy" and I don't need to internalize a sense of stigma or shame. Now, instead of being scared of hallucinating, I see them simply as my subconscious sharing information with me (like a window into another alter's experience). Now I've learned to approach my experiences of psychosis with mindfulness, curiosity, and acceptance--in the same way that I've learned to accept other aspects of my psychological experience like my thoughts and emotions--and I find approaching hallucinations this way to be helpful. Also, Kit, congrats on co-host! (or at least the co-host title, since you already were, lol!) That's exciting you want to connect to the outside world and I'm glad you get the opportunity! And that's really sweet about the younger parts, that's so nice to hear you have a partner who is understanding and I'm glad the younger parts feel safe with him! :) Take care e'eryone!

That´s fascinating that an alter can become a co-host. Kit looks really very sweet, sociable and managing great in daily life. For me it means that we are not helpless but can really manage the system, at least to a certain extent - to make the positive and healthy alters more involved in daily life and to push inside those who are not healthy or do not manage the daily life. Because the "not-managing" one can damage very quickly work or a relationship built by the healthy alter/host for a long time (speaking from my own experience, not in relation to your system).

(Going back through old vids, this is relevant here atm) Found this one quite fascinating as a single-mind partner to a system myself. Can't confirm anything online but I kinda get how easy it was for Andrew to be cool with that for the littles. Fist bump dude. ;)

We are just catching up on your videos. We are in tears for Jonathon, what an experience. I hope he is doing okay. And even if he decides to one day integrate, he will always be with Wyn. We know that is always his priority. You are doing a great job, hun.

Kit we can tell it’s you the second you say hi you don’t even need a bow! You’re cheery voice is great giveaway

Thank you for the update!

I hope he feels better soon... Two years ago i had hallucinations, it was apparently a very stressful time of my life, i sae long slender shadowfigures and floating heads all around me in this tiny room i was living in, it felt like it was so tight of space when the room was full of creatures and a dark humming sounds.. i dont have did oranything that should cause hallucinations but i do have other stuff that makes life difficult. Ive also had sound hallucinations that i didnt know where hallucinations, ive onlybeen told afterwards that nobody else heard the things i was hearing.. it was super scary, it was sounds of banging and knocking on the walls and doors, from a trauma witg a person i lived right next to in the same kind of "home" shes been really violent with me almost clawing my eyes ot leaving my face bloody, harassing me for hours sending threats and throwing stuff and banging on walls and my doors... I dont live there anymore and i dont THINK i have hallucinations anymore but maybe i do since i didnt realize some of them..

Your therapist is amazing! ❤

Thatnks for telling us this. It was super interesting to listen to.

D- I get attacks at 4am most nights in innerworld I go to areas where horrific things happen and the body keeps sitting up in bed and writhing around. The fact you explained this was so helpful because I've felt so alone with these nightly horrors and I felt like I hallucinate and it damages the body this was the best video on close to what I experienced

I love you guys all so much I hope your system is doing well!!

Such a sweet therapist!

I know I'm literally a couple years late to these videos (me being a total dork and missing that Kim Kim's video was a VERY long time ago) but I am absolutely sobbing at Andrew taking the role of their Dad and Karen LAUGHING AND SMILING??? My HEART!

We’ve had a very similar experience with flashbacks before it is terrifying and your therapist is amazing- Leo

Aww! Literally teared up when you said Andrew told Josh he could call him dad too. 💕

I don't have DID but I do have a neurological disorder that includes sleep paralysis and it can be absolutely terrifying. Sleep paralysis also comes with hallucinations (I'm lucky in that I don't have that part of it often and when I do it's mild)... so I'm not surprised to hear that happened to your system, especially with Johnathan being an alter who can communicate through dreams. Every time you mention your therapist she seems so skilled, it appears as though she really understands your system.Not to make this comment all about me, but I'm a therapist too (in the UK) and it's inspiring to hear about how she helps you guys, as I'm fairly early in my career. It sounds like a really intense experience for you all from start to finish, so I'm glad you've all been able to find some clarity about this and use it to keep learning about yourselves as a system. x

It always surprises and fascinates me how alive and human everyone in the system is. It's just sad that you have to go through the shitty stuff.

Hey Kit and the rest of the system. I have a suggestion for a show about DID. It is a k-drama (Korean drama) and you can find it on the app/website Dramafever. I would really like it if you reviewed to show in the same fashion you did the video about the movies about DID. Thank you.

Thanks Kit for sharing and wanting to share new symptoms and what system changes are like. I've had sleep paralysis once, (possibly twice) and that was awful. I can only imagine experiencing sleep paralysis 3 times in a row! As for Jonathan, that must be really hard. I hope he feels much better about the sweet moment between the littles and Andrew. As for a flashback, thats probably the most visual descriptive way of someone whose never had a flashback know what one feels like. I have a non-related question. With regards to whats recently happened (at least when this video was happening or uploaded) and the symptoms, and the headspace island, and how you experience fronting, if that gives new layout to how the brain functions???

Our little calls our host's fiance "big brother", because she sees the host as a big sister, so she put two and two together, and decided he's her brother. He's been really cool about it, thankfully, and proves he'll be a good dad by how he interacts with her when she is fronting.

lol sleep paralysis though D: too real. too. real. I've had it happen regularly since I was 9yrs old and even though I have a recurring "hallucination" and am aware that it's not real on one level, there's a level that's always terrified until I can force myself awake. Alas, ha. I hear you on not wanting to go back to sleep; super annoying.

wow! intense + complicated ! great therapist* :) I'm not DID, but what u said seems to apply to my life right now~ i no longer can 'box myself in' to an IDENTITY...So like u said, i can adjust & move on & grow & stuff. Thank You heart heart heart heart heart

I have Did and I've experienced visual and audio hallucinations while I was in crisis before. I thought I was the only one but it's good to know that it's a thing that can happen.

Kit your makeup looks so nice 💘

Interesting!! Like any normal healthy family, roles change and we are always having to grow and adapt. It makes sense that any alters would go through these changes and have to learn to adapt too. It shows that you are not stuck in one place, which is great!

I have had similar experiences! I’ve had many of those repeat and paralysis dreams that I keep getting sucked into, and extremely hard to wake from. It used to be way more terrifying when I was younger. My parent told me I’d sleepwalk to strange locations to just stand there and shriek and shriek like a banshee. Once, when a young adult, I woke and was in a dream state, with everything in my atmosphere black and white and grey, (whatever objects were around, depending on the density of the object, it would be more or less see-through, and if it was less see-through, it’d be a darker grey, all the way to solid objects, which were all black.) Yeah, there’s actually way more included in that particular story/experience, but I just wanted to let you know I can kind of relate to what you’re talking about.

This made me cry. Poor Jonathan!

Very interesting and enjoyable video 👍🏻😘

Really glad everyone's okay ❤
