Sapphire explains candidly about the reasons behind DIDebunk’s hiatus in most of 2024-2025 and the future direction for the passion project. No edits are made for authenticity. To reach out, please refer to the links in the podcast description for details. Happy 2026!

Cadence returns to share some information about her very first self-produced documentary about us as a physically able individual with invisible illnesses. She also outlines the structure of the podcast and the aim that it is trying to achieve. The link of the documentary is here.Apologies for the sound quality issue, as we no longer have our previous podcasting platform and we were using our old mobile phone. We mainly want to direct our podcast audience into the documentary that Cadence produced in May 2024. We admit that’s neglectful of us and we feel sorry for you guys, but this is unfortunately a part of dissociative amnesia. 😓Thank you for your patience while we have our hiatus. We have been rearranging the DIDebunk and we were pulled in various directions in life, but we are now coming back to focus on the podcast once again. The next episode [Series 1 Episode 25: Partial DID] will be published in August 2025. We can’t wait to interact with our audience and get to know all of you! If you would like to stay in touch with us, please contact us anytime! We will answer your messages as soon as possible! Note: We are not mental health professionals. We are only sharing our own personal experiences in the 5 bonuses. Please take care of yourself while listening.

It is an honour for me, Onnida, to be featured in Megan Hall’s @inspiredwomenpodcast today, where I share about my health anxiety journey to the public. It’s not a story that I normally share to others, but my wellbeing has improved ever since I mustered the courage to speak up about it. If you want to know me better, this podcast is the perfect place to start. Megan and I had a meaningful conversation together that you will benefit from, especially if you struggle with health anxiety yourself.

After a few months, I am finally featured in Brandon’s Tinfoil Tales podcast, searchable on Instagram with the exact same username. Even though I was feeling dissociated most of the time, I wanted to continue sharing about all my encounters with the supernatural in the hour-long episode. I have listened to other episodes in the podcast as a fan of real paranormal stories, and i recommend you to check some out. You can listen to it on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other platforms.

Additional Resources Masking and Unmasking by DissociaDID Masking in Dissociative Identity Disorder with P1nk by The Law System System Responsibility in Dissociative Identity Disorder by MultiplicityAndMe System Responsibility | Dissociative Identity Disorder by Evie's Small World Definitions by Black in Dissociative Galaxy Discord server: Singlet: A Singlet is a person with only one and unique identity. A singlet is the opposite of someone plural. Singlets can also have extreme mood swings due to other disorders, but it isn't being plural: even if controlled by the emotion, per se, they are still in the control of their body. They can also be affected by dissociative disorders. Singlets can also experience different parts of self. But that doesn't inherently mean that they have DID. Parts of self are utilized for example in IFS therapy. Not everyone with parts has DID/OSDD-1. There is big difference between parts in Internal Family Systems and alters in DID! So, if you're a questioning system, keep this in mind. Only a professional can give you a final answer. Outer World: For the alters who live inside the body, the "real" world is what they may call the Outside world. Some systems will also use the word "being out" instead of the word fronting. Definition of Singletsona by Clayre Sessoms: Singletsona refers to a Singular Persona in a Plural System. A ‘singletsona’ is an intriguing concept within the realm of plurality. It denotes a persona that a plural system may adopt when interacting with the world as a single entity. However, it’s critical to understand that a singletsona is a façade or role undertaken by a plural system and doesn’t diminish or erase their plural identity. Happy Lunar New Year everybody!
