## What is OSDD1?

**Causes**

OSDD1 stems from repeated and long-term childhood trauma. Later-occurring trauma can lead to more alters coming forward or forming. It is also connected to depression and PTSD (which we have).

**Amnesia**

About 50% of the time we experience amnesia when switching. We experience a lot of continuous amnesia, regaining and losing memories, and we overal have a complex relationship with memory.

**Alters**

Our alters are able to speak to each other in our head, although it's not often. A lot of times our head is filled with voices, and it can get confusing and overwhelming.
