An extremely misunderstood mental disorder where one believes they have other personalties (or alters) living inside their soul. This person will not have control of what these alters do and usually black out whenever their alters take control. These alters can be different ages, have different dominant sides, different posture, voices, etc.
People will develop this order from not knowing how to deal with abuse or suppressing too much emotion, usually, as a child.
**NOTE: What these people believe is happening in their head is what is happening in their head. They can't control what's happening and most people would get rid of the disorder if they more easily could.
AKA D.I.D.
Alters FUCK EVERYTHING UP FOR THOSE THAT HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS DISORDER. My ex has D.I.D. The beastly version of his own personality (not a legit alter) blocked his memory of me. He did this because I wouldn't have sex with him..well them..so yeah..pretty fucked up.
THIS DISORDER GENUINELY, TRULY SUCKS.

Unlike Truman Show Delusion sufferers who see themselves as being the unwitting main character in a reality TV show, Telefantastic Dissociative Delusional Disorder sufferers see their life as being full-blown scripted, expensive serialised drama TV Series. They frame each year of their life as being a 'season', each week roughly equating to a single 'episode' of their show.
The sufferer twists known facts and does mental gymnastics to shoehorn their mundane lives into some form of 'season arc' for their character.
They know full well that they aren't really in a TV show. - they just desperately want to be.
Ultimately, Telefantastic Dissociative Delusional Disorder is just a tactic employed by the miserable to deny reality - those who know deep down that the only way their life can have meaning is not through art or expression, giving and charity, a relationship with God but instead by forcibly contextualising everything as being a carefully scripted, story-boarded and rehearsed piece of fiction to be consumed by only the sufferer themselves.
The sufferer inevitably commits suicide or dies in their 'series finale' - Whether their TV Series achieved excellence and a satisfactory conclusion (Breaking Bad), was cancelled before its time and fondly remembered (Party Down), went seasons too long and became a shadow of itself (The Simpsons), (Dexter) can only be determined by the dead sufferer's friends and family at the funeral.

Q; "What's wrong with Caleb? He said he hadn't seen me since 'Season 2', and that he thought I'd been written out, whatever that means?
A: "Dude yeah he's got Telefantastic Dissociative Delusional Disorder' - just nod and smile. He'll kill himself if he thinks his show might be getting cancelled or resorting to cheap plot twists"

A common disorder where a person displays multiple personalities: One in person, and one on Facebook.
Kevin: "Damn, have you met that girl I work with L'fondra?"
George: "Yeah, shes a weirdo in person, but she acts all cool on Facebook. She must have Dissociative Facebook Identity Disorder."

Also known as DTRD, Dissociative Temple Run Disorder occurs when you've been playing the game Temple Run for so long that you misjudge how long you've been running during that round.
Dan: "What?! I thought I was so far down the course but I've only run 2,000!"
Margaret: "Whoa, take a chill. It looks like you've got yourself some Dissociative Temple Run Disorder. You may need to take a break, you've been playing for two hours straight."

A diagnosis that a psychiatrist or therapist gives to a patient. It basically states that the personality is fractured into several distinct parts that behave differently from the original personality. It was once known as multiple personality disorder but psychiatrists changed the term to dissociative identity disorder because they realized they had no clue what they were doing and had to come up with something new and exciting since they were getting paid. Mental health professionals give this diagnosis so they can feel important and special since this disorder is glamorized in the movies. The patient unconsciously wants to please the therapist and read up on the symptoms to present to them. Both therapist and patient feed off each other. Often the patient will get the blame as attention seeking when really it's the therapist that's at fault but gets off the hook because they are the professionals. You will find all patients that enter therapy never had a clue they had the disorder until the therapist told them. It is a therapy induced disorder and will disappear once the patient leaves therapy. But it will reemerge once the patient returns. Plain and simple. From that point forward patients will be confused when something bad happens to them because they will think one of their personalities did it. They will lose all sense of who they are.
Since Julie was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder her life has been in ruins because she has lost her sense of identity.
