I'm not sorry for who I am
And neither should you, we're all original and unique in our own ways.
We all have our talents . Our likes and dislikes.
Love yourself for yourself.
If someone teases you or makes fun of you because of how you act or who you are keep your head held high and stand up for yourself.
We're all different and shouldn't be forced to be the same....
Be yourself, be you, be original....
it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, its what you think..
If you don't think you are yourself you are. The true potential of you is deep inside you just have to find it. (I hope that made sense)
Multiple personality disorder
What is Multiple Personality Disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder? Multiple Personality disorder is brought on by severe trauma during early childhood.
This disorder is a severe form of dissociation ( dissociation is like when we're daydreaming or something during a project)
Read the below to get a more detailed explanation into this,
Most of us have experienced mild dissociation, which is like daydreaming or getting lost in the moment while working on a project. However, dissociative identity disorder is a severe form of dissociation, a mental process, which produces a lack of connection in a person's thoughts, memories, feelings, actions, or sense of identity. Dissociative identity disorder is thought to stem from trauma experienced by the person with the disorder. The dissociative aspect is thought to be a coping mechanism -- the person literally dissociates himself from a situation or experience that's too violent, traumatic, or painful to assimilate with his conscious self.-

thus creating another persona, personality. Another self, this is actually true.
Now the disorder itself is very complex and hard to understand.
You may be thinking that it is not real, but it is.
It is the most severe and chronic manifestation of the dissociative disorders that cause multiple personalities.
The disorder itself does have symptoms if i may say,
please read the below for information on this.
Dissociative identity disorder is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct or split identities or personality states that continually have power over the person's behavior. With dissociative identity disorder, there's also an inability to recall key personal information that is too far-reaching to be explained as mere forgetfulness. With dissociative identity disorder, there are also highly distinct memory variations, which fluctuate with the person's split personality.
The "alters" or different identities have their own age, sex, or race. Each has his or her own postures, gestures, and distinct way of talking. Sometimes the alters are imaginary people; sometimes they are animals. As each personality reveals itself and controls the individuals' behavior and thoughts, it's called "switching." Switching can take seconds to minutes to days. When under hypnosis, the person's different "alters" or identities may be very responsive to the therapist's requests.
Along with the dissociation and multiple or split personalities, people with dissociative disorders may experience any of the following symptoms:
Depression
Mood swings
Suicidal tendencies
Sleep disorders (insomnia, night terrors, and sleep walking)
Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias (flashbacks, reactions to stimuli or "triggers")
Alcohol and drug abuse
Compulsions and rituals
Psychotic-like symptoms (including auditory and visual hallucinations)
Eating disorders
Other symptoms of dissociative identity disorder may include headache, amnesia, time loss, trances, and "out of body experiences." Some people with dissociative disorders have a tendency toward self-persecution, self-sabotage, and even violence (both self-inflicted and outwardly directed). As an example, someone with dissociative identity disorder may find themselves doing things they wouldn't normally do such as speeding, reckless driving, or stealing money from their employer or friend, yet they feel they are being compelled to do it. Some describe this feeling as being a passenger in their body rather than the driver. In other words, they truly believe they have no choice.
