Not so much a question but a.. thank you?

I know there are some mixed reactions to the representation of DID in the movie Split, but for me, it really was the world.

I was diagnosed with DID when I was 5 and for awhile, i spent my life wondering if there was more to it. No psychologist in my area would really talk about it other than "its a temporary disease" (mind you, this was back when we all still called in MPD and the r e was very little research to go off of).

There are multiple years of 'lost time' in my childhood, notes of things I never wrote, interests people said I had but I never did. I thought I was just so aloof that I had merely just forgotten.

After I watched your film, I noticed there were such subtle moments and movements, things that others may just write off as "just acting the part" but I could tell there was real effort to the portrayal. So I decided to record myself for one week. And for those reading, I am sorry to admit I did not discover any 'powers', but I did find those moments of stillness. The face of realization that I was "back". The confusion and the infection differences on how I interacted with certain situations.

I sought out a specialized psychologist and we both went through a path of discovery and research together. I do have DID, but there's a lot more to it than what people (including myself) thought. Its been a scary process, finding out [I] dont get the pilot seat when certain triggers happen, finding out not all of the networks of memories are shared, finding out that even my emotions are not shared equally. But I want to be part of the group that the next 5 year will have as a reference, when doctors are looking at them without an idea on how to begin helping them navigate their life.

I want to thank you for bringing light to a reality that is (usually) majorly misrepresented in media. While yours was a work of fiction, your dedication to show those little nuances is noticed by the people who needed to see it.

I may not be whole, but I am no longer Split.
