Our Collective Life

Our Collective Life is a non-fiction memoir of a person diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly known as Multiple Identity Disorder or MPD) is a condition in which two or more distinct identities are present in the one body. In our case, we are called the Collective, a group of 19 individuals (at the time of writing) sharing a body and trying to navigate our way through this one life. We each have unique personality traits and characteristics as well as differing thoughts, opinions and often even memories. To an outsider or a layperson, this book may sound like a work of fiction. However as crazy as it may sound, this is our life.
