From LADbible Stories.
In this episode of Honesty Box, Bo Hopper opens up about living with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder.
Bo answers questions about switching identities, memory loss, trauma, relationships, and what life is really like living with 25-30 alters. From losing time and discovering things they don’t remember doing, to how different alters protect them from trauma, this is a deeply personal and emotional conversation about one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions.
Bo also discusses diagnosis, misconceptions around DID online, the reality of living with PTSD, and the journey toward healing and recovery.
Viewer discretion is advised. This episode contains discussions around trauma, self-harm, suicide, and mental health.
If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available through organisations such as Mind and Samaritans.
Thanks to Bo for taking part!
