Dissociative Identity Disorder
“For a long time I asked myself whether my life would not have been easier in uncertainty”
Many identities share one body. What sounds like science fiction is reality for some people, including the Bonnies. You suffer from “Dissociative Identity Disorder”. Four of them told us their story.

Who doesn’t know the inner voices that like to speak out, especially before important decisions – and thus represent completely opposing views. We all have different parts of our personality that don’t always pull together. But what if the whole thing doesn’t just happen in our heads, but is so pronounced that we consist of several distinct personalities? Then we speak of a “dissociative Identity disorder“. But what is it actually like to be many?
The Bonnies know this very well, they have “dissociative identity disorder” and speak up Social media about how this shapes their lives. They don’t know how many Bonnies there are – a new character always appears. But the whole thing only really becomes tangible when you get to know a few of them, when you hear them speak and see that really different characters live in one person. Four of the Bonnies took us exclusively into their world of thoughts. We’ll learn in the next few days TessaIsa, Fiona and 46 know something better. This time it’s Isa’s turn.
