maybe a shot in the dark, but does anyone have recommendations for fiction books about Dissociative Identity Disorder?
I’m looking more specifically for actual clinical DID—so not “there are magical spirits taking host in my body in this fantasy world”—and of course nothing that deals with ‘murderer’ alters or Dr Jekyll & Mr. Hyde themes.
The pickings are SO slim that I don’t even mind if you didn’t like the book.
As of right now I’ve only found Pretty Girl-13.

So yall. I'm looking for book recommendations. I have a preference toward young adult fiction, dystopia books (like the Hunger Games), mental health books, and crime/mystery books (like Sherlock Holmes). What books do yall recommend?

I know that sometimes it might feel easier to just give up with mental health concerns, but don’t do it. I know what it’s like to be tempted to settle for daily stress and suffering as a way of life, but DON’T do it! God is not a liar. You will continue to grow in Him and experience greater wholeness and peace as you trust, obey, and get the support you need. If we can help you on your journey, visit our website (link in our bio)🩷. Get your copy of Wonderful Counselor in the digital shop or submit a referral form at the very bottom of any page on the site to get more information on how you can begin services with us – God‘s got you, and you’ve got this!! ✨

Solitaire by Alice Oseman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I've truly never related to a book as much as I have with Solitaire. As soon as I started reading it, I knew it would become one of my favorite novels. Alice Oseman is an amazing author and I can't wait to read her other works.
I give this book some well-deserved 5 stars.
