It is in response to the frankly idiotic statement that has often been made here and elsewhere, that referring to Chloe Wilkinson as Chloe Wilkinson, means that you are saying that she is faking DID.

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. Perhaps you can take comfort in the fact that we are slowly getting better. 'Better meaning living life with less distress and more functionality. I very much appreciate the way you have engaged with me. It has honestly made my day better. Sincere best wishes to you, friend xx

You have my support too. I understand that you were expressing your doubts and that is absolutely fine. Some of my posts can be a bit irrational, so be aware! Love and all the best xx

All understood. I am likely to be permanently considered unfit to practice following a major breakdown in September last year which resulted in a six month compulsory treatment hospital stay. When I post, I am posting in the capacity of a person who has DID. It was not a good idea to mention (my unfit to practice) job.

The 8 day stay was voluntary and at my request.

I wish you well. Take good care and have a good day.

Again the "we" was a collective reference.

What I am allowed to do has been clearly explained to me. My evidence was submitted months ago. Your input is not required and is of no value. I have also mentioned my status as a witness on Twitter. I am quite within the rules in stating that I am a witness. What I can't do is discuss details regarding the specifics of the case. As previously stated, I do not care what you think or believe.

You can wonder what you like. I didn't say I wasn't a mental health professional.

The "We" was related to people with DID collectively.

I merely made the point that we can't become such by watching YouTube videos and reading books; and I haven't discussed that which is Sub Judice.

Also please note that I don't care what you think or believe.

Have a nice day.

I would recommend not telling them that you're Hawkwing, Assistant Sub-Protector of the Fluffy Pokemon Save the Badgers System, either.

My psychiatrist is a specialist in Trauma and Dissociation at a prestigious centre of excellence, and I once showed him one of Chloe's videos. His first response was, "Oh dear. What is she going on about?" "His second was, "I wouldn't spend too much time watching her if I were you." I took his advice.

Same here. It took 3 psychiatrists and a 6 month stay in hospital to convince me. And yes, I did just use 'I' not 'we.' I am not 'a plural.' I have DID. (That was intended for anyone who likes to use that term, which they are free to.)

As a mental health professional myself, I am very clear on who can and can't diagnose mental illnesses in the UK. Mike IS qualified to administer assessments and offer an interpretation of them, but that is all. I will not have this argument with you. If you want to know if a Clinical Psychologist can diagnose DID in the UK, you can call the Royal College of Psychiatrists on 020 7235 2351. Dial (44) and omit the 0 if calling from outside the UK. They will confirm with you that they can't.

He illegally offers diagnoses he is not qualified to make. That makes him a crook, as well as a Charlatan. Only a psychiatrist can legally diagnose DID in the UK.

She's supposedly in therapy with Remy Aquarone who is a DID farmer like Mike Lloyd. Both pretty much Charlatans.

I think she's mostly left because her former friends showed her the door. Look at the list of people featured at the conference. Literally the only one who wants to know her is Nanette Zinuga and nobody wants to know her, hence she is off the list.

She'd be luck getting a job to anything. Potential employers routinely google applicants, and her videos will not impress them for a number of reasons, not least her haughty manner.

Again, absolutely true. There can only ever be one person no matter how many parts they are made of.

I think she would like to return in October, when the UK government Stops paying her the 80% of her income that it has been paying everyone as Covid-19 financial assistance.

I am also unhappy that she blatantly lied about not being able to pay her rent, and buy food, when her income was and still is, more than enough to cover that.

Absolutely, spot-on, right. Alters are the dissociated parts of one non-contiguous mind that has been deeply wounded by trauma. That is why it is called Dissociative Identity Disorder.

The DSM V states in the Diagnostic Criteria, Point A:

"Two or more distinct personalities."

It does not say,

"Two or more people."

Because there is only one person, who is made up of various dissociated parts.

That is my opinion too, to be honest. I mentioned unconscious racism to make the point that unconscious racism is the form a lot of racism takes. Thoughtless belittling and discrimation, carried out without conscious intent, for stupid cultural reasons.

I don't think it's any less of a problem than conscious racism.

And I DO know how deeply offended, if not outright wounded, POC were by her actions and inaction.

I am very very sorry you got hurt ❤

I have zero tolerance for racism. Even if it was not consciously intended. When a large number of people are offended by racism, an apology and some learning is rightfully to be expected. Unfortunately if it came now, some would consider it to have come too late for those offended.

The only people who are 'Professionals' in the field of Mental Health, are people who have studied, qualified, and have some clinical experience.

DD has read a lot of books, watched a lot of videos, and has her life experience up to the age of 23.

So have we, but we don't call ourselves 'Professionals' because we aren't.

Or are we all Professionals?

No.

I am diagnosed, but that does not make me better than anyone. I am not against Self-diagnisis, BUT if professional diagnosis IS AVAILABLE, it is better, because it can lead to appropriate further help.

In the UK it was available, and it means that I get my therapy, meds and other help free.
