I was going through a drawer,looking for something and stumbled across the dvd that I had forgotten about and decided to watch it.I wasn't searching for or looking for a movie or book thats a true representation of DID or anything.
And when I said true representation I didn't mean it literally,I just meant one that isn't so ridiculous and exaggerated for ratings.One that tells a more believable story that's not all Hollywood-ized.Of course one could never be 100 percent accurate and not every single detail could be or would be included.But a good movie that leaves a person feeling good afterwards and makes them see what a person struggles with,along woth a good ending would be nice.One that makes those with DID seem human but struggling instead of ones like Sybil or Split would be nice.
I think everyone knows that DID is different for each person that has it but I think people like to read books or watch movies that are about what they live too.I like to watch movies about marriage since I'm married.I like to watch parenting ones,etc.It's no different with DID,people like to read and watch things about it to be able to relate to it.
You and I are both fully integrated and even though our experiences are 100 percent different and how we got to that point,our challenges now,our perceptions on it,etc are totally different I still like reading about inttegeation.It doesn't mean I'm trying to see if I measure up to others that have integrated.It doesnt mean I'm searching for something or not being myself.I think it's human nature to want to find things and others we can relate to.If there was a movie about integrarion heck yeah I would watch it just to see someone else's experience.It wouldnt mean it's the 'right' way,the 'only' way or a guidemap or anything,it would just be one persons experience and I would watch it out of curiosity and to try to relate to it.Because I'm human.
