Functioning with FLASHBACKS (+footage!): Our experience | Dissociative Identity Disorder & PTSD

Jamie (an alter) talks about our experience of functioning with flashbacks. We live our life with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and PTSD is part-in-parcel. However, we want to show that we can still function (and do!) despite our diagnosis and the effects it can give us. This is our story, and the effects of PTSD and/or DID may affect sufferers in different ways.

===Whilst we may give self-help tips and advice, we are not a replacement for any mental health professional===
