“Dissociative disorders can be anything from feeling like I'm here, but not here. Is this a dream? Is this real? To switching to a completely different personality,” explains halmondbarr who stars in L.A. Times’ newest short doc, “Nice to Meet You All.”
Mental health is sensationalized and misrepresented in the media. I want to challenge that. Dissociative identity disorder , in particular, has often been depicted as being at the root of evil and dangerous characters, including abusers. This couldn’t be further from the truth. A lot of people with DID have been abused themselves.
I’m tired of stereotypes. I want people with firsthand experience to enter the conversation surrounding mental health, which is finally opening up.I’ve had my own firsthand experience with mental health “conditions.” I’ve learned about them through alternative routes, including community and social media. This is why it’s key for the media to represent these situations truthfully, so the narratives will support better diagnosis.I met the contributor of this film through social media.
There’s a truth in all of them that has hit me deeply and given me an ever bigger strength to push forward for real progress. I am adamant in my determination to create a space for stories of abuse that stand high above the others, truthfully, holistically, with joy and respect and, above all, for the people who have experienced it. As the contributor stated, I want to tell these stories in a non-self-deprecatory way and in a way in which we can all come together through love and support.
