Thanks for posting.I watched part of it and decided to take a break before watching more.Its definitely triggering, not just for those with DID but anyone really.

I'm still shocked about the number of alters.

Nice work on the self-care there.

It really is super intense. But so inspirational!

I imagine a great many of those were "fragments" rather than fully developed selves. One of the alters in the video says that some parts were just created to deal with maybe ten minutes of one incident, and others were fully developed selves. It sounds like the abuse was

Possible trigger:

so extreme that there were times that no alter could take the abuse for long. The abuse caused such extensive injuries over time that she needed to have multiple surgeries to correct the damage.

She had to fortify herself for survival every single day of her childhood. I imagine that's why she needed her "army".
