Observable challenges in daily functioning due to the unpredictable nature of personality shifts. Individuals may struggle to maintain stable relationships, employment, or other aspects of life across different temporal states.
Temporal Anchors:
Certain temporal anchors or events that serve as stabilizing points for the individual. These anchors may provide a semblance of continuity across temporal shifts and help ground the individual in a coherent reality.
Temporal Introspection Challenges:
Difficulties in reflecting on and understanding one's own experiences across different temporal states. Individuals may find it challenging to integrate their diverse temporal selves into a cohesive narrative.
Distress and Temporal Identity Crisis:
Elevated levels of distress and an ongoing identity crisis related to the unpredictable and fragmented nature of temporal identity. The individual may grapple with questions of authenticity and continuity across time.
While both TDD and DID involve a form of dissociation and identity alteration, TDD is characterized by temporal shifts in personality across time, with a focus on the influence of past, present, and future events. On the other hand, DID involves the presence of distinct, stable alters, often developed as a response to severe trauma during childhood.

Disintegrated Fragmented Identity-Flux Disorder (DFIFD)

Description: Disintegrated Fragmented Identity-Flux Disorder (DFIFD) is a coined disorder characterized by profound challenges in the formation and maintenance of a cohesive and stable sense of self.
