About this listen

In The Bag System podcast, Melissa C. Water demonstrates that Dissociative Identity Disorder isn’t all a tragedy and that there can be a fondness for Headmates.

This stigmatized condition has been viewed with an air of psychopathy, tragedy, or fascination. While alternate identities may sound like science fiction, perhaps, just like the skin we wear, the vulnerability for the mind to break is merely human and relatable. Though, Melissa prefers to see this, not as the mind breaking, but rather, as bending, with more of us now to help each other mend.

"I'm dissociating into a bag of Skittles; taste the rainbow."

The effort and depth that the bag system must have put into this podcast is immense. Each episode gives a detailed account into life with complex trauma and dissociate disorders. Melissa we can't thank you enough for speaking up for a stigmatized and vulnerable population to spread information that is factual and based in truth. Thank you!
