If you have never seen it, I ruin the movie so don't read on if you want to see it...
So my mom likes strange movies. We watched (by we I mean my boyfriend and myself) a couple of my moms movies. Last night we watched the Ward. It was a movie about a girl who gets locked in a mental institution in the 60s. Basically the whole plot of the movie is that she has DID and she is everyone in the mental hospital.
This movie... The movie Identity, there's another movie where the male actor who is the father plays a man with DID (who supposedly gets it when he's an adult) and one more movie I can't recall at the moment. All horror movies... 4 horror movies portraying a person with DID. Is it not obvious why we are having such a difficult time accepting and admitting to DID? It scared the heck out of me.
The movie The Ward... I watched it last night and it made me question just about everything. If my boyfriend was someone within, if my job was internal. If nothing was real and I was living in my head... The last time I felt this was I was "dilusional" and my t wanted me to admit myself. Is it a wonder we have all these thoughts and questions and such a difficult time with this?
Sorry I guess I'm ranting but I really don't like the way the media is making DID out to be. And than tyou have the women who are suing their t for planting false memories and making them believe they have DID when they don't... What's next? Will there ever be a day where doubt or fear does not co exist with DID? eerrrr!!!
