  Being free from PTSD sounds like a dream! Knowing it is possible gives me so much hope!

  Followed Multiplicity for a few years. I haven't been this genuinely, and profoundly happy for a complete stranger in a long time.

  It's so wild to me that you can hear everyone's voices in one voice; aka 'your' voice. Jess's voice sounded different when each alter was still their own voice/person and now that everyone is fused, you can really hear pieces of everyone's accent, dialect and tone in this final voice  :)

  I really relate to having to accept that you need to "save" yourself. When my BPD was at it's worst (the WORST emotional pain I've ever felt), I wanted MH services to save me, but they couldn't. Even when I threatened sui, they didn't really do much. I had to choose saving myself and i had to choose recovery. For a long time, I didn't want to choose recovery (I think because I was fearful of what that would look like/feel like), but when I did finally accept it and choose my recovery, through DBT, I found that most of my BPD symptoms disappeared or lessened in severity. It was SO scary, and even tho I've still had a few hiccups here and there, it's been almost 6 months in what I would consider remission!

  Although I believe this is what you actually meant- If something traumatic ever happened, don't wait until symptoms appear, get back to the clinic straight away to address the trauma and to hopefully prevent any symptoms from ever coming up. Even without DID symptoms, we all benefit from therapy after any trauma. I'm really happy for you and proud of how far you've come!

  Watching your post-DID videos gives us a lot of hope. We&apos;re incredibly lucky in the amount of time and flexibility we have in which to focus on healing and yet it feels like it&apos;s taking forever and there&apos;s always more stuff we didn&apos;t know about that floats to the top. I think that imagining having a life not constantly dictated by trauma is a relatively new idea for us. &nbsp;Also your return to working in therapy gives us hope because it&apos;s been a dream of ours to be a therapist and we&apos;ve had lots of people (mental health professionals included) tell us we&apos;d be great at it. But of course, there is so much healing that we need to do before we could even attempt it. <br><br>One of the helpful tools our (DID specialist) therapist has been using with us is, when a big emotion comes up, stop asking &quot;What&apos;s wrong?&quot; and start asking, &quot;Who is feeling it?&quot; This encourages the collaboration and connection to other parts instead of trying to fix and get rid of the feeling. We&apos;ve also had a lot of success in holding system meetings as smaller teams instead of all 36 of us at the same time. The teams format has made it much easier for two or three folks to decide to collaborate on something together and more and more, we&apos;re trying to ensure that everyone has someone to connect with and spend time with rather than defaulting to being alone in the inner world.

  I and we are so happy that you&apos;re thriving after final fusion! Hearing that you no longer experience PTSD symptoms gives us hope that we can heal from our past. We hope you continue making videos, Jess! 🥰🤟💜

  Jess, I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, and you’ve helped teach me things about my own mental health - even if I’m someone without DID. I just want to thank you, and tell you that I’m really proud of you and your journey. Cheers.
