A Comic about DID - Part 9 [OC]

If you want to help playtest this mod, join our Discord! It features the creation of different "profiles" on one account which each have their individual skin, location, inventory, and their own keep inventory toggle.

You can download this without joining the Discord here, but keep in mind it's still in early beta so there will probably be bugs. The keybind for the alter menu is 'K' by default.

It's from a missed development milestone. Children are scrambled all over the place. At a certain age, their brain gathers all their memories and builds one coherent timeline and sense of self out of it. Because we had profound childhood yikes and certain coping mechanisms, our brains built partitions to hide the memories from ourself, so the memories aren't available to make a coherent whole, and we end up with a fragmented jumble of partitions.

This might be too personal, so feel free to not answer, but how did you find out you had this condition? Was it a surprise to you, did you know all along, or maybe some combination of both?

For us, we noticed that our internal sense of gender kept changing, and it continued doing this for years of us actively keeping track of it. Trends and clear patterns started emerging and we brought it to a therapist and asked “is this DID?” … and it turned out someone else in our body had already had already discussed it with him a previous week.

This is so funny to me. There really is an untapped comedic potential with DID.

That reminds me of the time we stopped watching Moon Knight because we wanted to watch all of it with our ex, spouse at the time, only to end up arguing with them that no, we hadn't finished watching it, we were waiting to watch it with them.

Then the culprit woke up and informed us that she had watched the whole thing.
