I am upset that they are making a comedy about DID as I have it and I struggle daily with my life and find nothing humorous about having DID. I was tortured and raped repeatedly as a child into my teens and can't understand how this can be found funny? This isn't a chemical imbalance. This is a coping mechanism we taught ourselves to survive horrific abuse. My kids have suffered, my husband has had a hard time of it and since I was diagnosed in 1991 my life has been a rollercoaster ride. It is traumatic and I have been in and out of hospitals many times. How is that funny? I just don't understand the cruelty behind all of this? The mental health community has a hard enough time dealing with our diagnosis let alone society now this is going to make it even harder on us to be taken seriously. It hurts us to think that people could be so unkind and thoughtless.
