DID Awareness Day
March 5th
Are you tired of people having the wrong perception of Dissociative Identity Disorder?
Are you frustrated or irritated, as a person with Dissociative Identities, for being poorly or falsely misrepresented in the media?
Do you think the general population understands what it means to be dissociative?
I’m pretty sure most folks don’t know!
We can do something about that. What are you gonna do?
DID Awareness Day 2025
What’s the most important thing for the world to know about DID?
This is your challenge!
We don’t have to be silent about the truth of DID.
What are you going to do today, or this month, or this year to improve DID Awareness out there, in your corner of the world?
What are you going to teach?
What are you going to explain?
(hmmmmm. What am I going to do?)
Here are some of my 2025 goals for increasing awareness about DID:
1. I’ve already pre-recorded a podcast conversation that’s going to be available soon! I’m looking forward to sharing that with you. Contact me for more information.
2. I’m going to do some Instagram Lives this year. Yep, gonna learn how to do that!
3. I’m gonna do my best to write the official 500th article here on Discussing Dissociation.
4. Of course, the P4 DID Retreat is going to happen! October 5-15, 2025. Our venue is booked. Wanna join us? Contact me for more info.
5. The first Small Group Intensive is scheduled for May 2025, for DDCF forum members.
6. I’m considering a Small Group Intensive for dissociative Mental Health Professionals in August or September. Yes, specifically for MPH’s with DID. Interested in that? Please let me know!
7. Of course, more posts and interactions in the DD Forums. DDCF — the Community Forum. And DDEF — the Educational Forum.
8. Plus we’ve added a new forum now! Kaulana and Joane are helping with spiritual-related conversations in our new Spirit and Soul Forum. How confusing are spiritual issues when you’ve had serious trauma, and you’re split even in your spiritual beliefs? We talk about that here. Lots of interesting, helpful conversations are going to happen here!
What’s the most important thing for the world to know about DID?
What’s the most important thing for the world to know about DID?
That being dissociative is a normal, intelligent, creative way to handle extremely painful, inappropriate, horrible and excessive traumas.
That the dissociative population is full of wonderful people, who are caring, kind, creative, lovely — all the good things.
That having a dissociative world means you probably use more of your brain than the average person and you can have a whole lot of different talents and abilities at the same time.
That dissociative people are really not scary. The people who are scary are the predators, the abusers. They are scary yes. Not those who have survived the abuse!
That the dissociative system is NOT the trauma or the abuse or the “bad guy”.
That dissociative systems are truly unique to themselves, full of amazing abilities, layered in complexities, but pretty darn awesome!
That being dissociative has its challenges for sure, but dissociative people are fully capable of doing and being whoever they choose to be.
That yes, dissociative people can have highly successful careers, incredible talents, gentle souls, good friendships, and great humor.
What do you want the world to know?

I encourage you to speak up!
I support you in writing a blog article!
I’d love to hear another great song!
How about that amazing art that you create?
Are you a poet? Can you write it out?
You know, it might feel daunting, or even a little frightening to speak or talk about dissociative truths, but I really do encourage you to do so.
The myths and the mixups and the misinformation will stay out there until we fight against that.
It really is okay to say what you know and to teach the correct information.
Silence here, on this topic, is not our friend!
