Many Sides of Jane

Jane is an inspiration to me as someone who is living a struggling with mental illness. People do not realize how difficult it is to live this way and then to also have to deal with the stigma. Jane is breaking the silence, going where no one has gone before on TV and helping to take down the stigma behind mental health. Her voice and this show speaks for us all. Thank you so much Jane for your bravery and for being my inspiration!!!!!

I could be wrong, but Jane seems like she's acting. How does she have SO much intimate details about her other "personalities"? I'm not a psychologist but I do read a lot and try to stay abreast on modern science and psychology. DID is a suspicious disorder in itself and not all doctors and psychologists agree that it actually exists. Many believe it's a form of bipolar or schizophrenia. I bring this up because the authenticity of Jane and her "others" actually existing is questionable. The show seems like a drama/reality show ala Real Housewives, survivor, etc.

Again I'm not an expert, but everything about the show is fishy and I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was all scripted.

I myself have DID and am facebook friends with Jane. She did a great job demonstrating the realities of living with DID, the hardships but also the strength and resilience. She is a fantastic mom and her representation being so public is a step forward to de-stigmatizing DID.

It was nice to finally see a much more accurate representation of DID in the media that is working to break through stigma surrounding this disorder. Having been diagnosed with DID in 2003, I have not seen any good representations of DID until this show. I could really relate to what was being portrayed and to Jane and the rest of her system. The show addressed both some of the positives and some of the negatives to having DID, and stressed that it's a trauma disorder and very real (and not the way it's usually portrayed in media). It's really sad that despite all of this, so many people are still so closed minded to not believe DID is real or to say that Jane is faking. With the recent #MeToo movement and the campaign to end mental health stigma, this show is very timely - if only DID survivors were as believed as the rest of abuse survivors and less stigmatized as other mental illnesses. Well, I still loved the show, and am glad to finally have an easy to consume resource that I can share with friends when trying to explain my diagnosis and what it's like to live with. Thank you Jane for being so brave as to share your life and your system with us.

The people who dislike this really seem to have no experience with DID. It has been misrepresented in media so many times, to the point that people think those with DID are evil/posessed/dangerous and they are not. Jane didn't create this to be a spectacle for those who don't get it, Jane did this so that there would be correct and relatable information out there on DID. I believe it is very well done, and Jane is so brave for putting her and her whole system out there when there are so many heartless and cruel people judging them. DID stems from childhood trauma, it is not easy thing to broadcast for the world. Well done!!
