When I was 28, 19 years before I was dx with DID I tried to watch Sybil and literally turned the tv off 20+ times. It scared the hell out of me and I had no understanding of why.

As others have said I put so much effort in "passing for normal" that I fought my Ts dx for years. Passing for normal was something bred deeply within because those who abused me told me how slowly and painfully i would die if I EVER told on them.

It has been a hard to find well-balanced materials on the topic of DID and that is why people are somewhat "reactive" to your well-intentioned suggestion to watch the moview Sybil.

There are some very good books - written in english, that do give insight into DID or that teach about DID. I found them on Amazon.com. There are other autobiographies and non-fiction books written by therapists or psychiatrists. I must encourage you to be careful about the books you buy - some are more graphic and triggering than others.

I am so sorry there is little help in Sweden, you need help just like us. I can only hope that things will get better over time where you are as people get more educated and tolerant (i hope!!!)

As others have said, I know you intentions were kind and I hope you will not stop writing here because things got a bit tense. That movie Sybil scared me so badly that I have never watched it again. It upset many of my alts who were subject to much intentional cruelty.

I hope to see you around.
