This is so good!!!! I love the interplay of text, handwriting and drawings, and the use of different fonts/font size/crossed out text to convey tone + the physical collage (?) where the white borders around the figures are visible. Also love the idea of IID—super clever reframing!! (also, the poem near the end is lovely.)

There's some collage in here, yeah! Probably more than you're noticing, too. We do a lot of cut-and-pasting in zines.
Not going to lie, it was fun to try to replicate the visual style of diagnostic texts and academic articles. (Replicating the DSM was a huge formatting challenge!)
All of the quotes on the "how does the world sound in reverse?" page are altered from actual medical texts/guidelines and academic articles about DID, which was also a bit of an adventure. I remember that the ISSTD guidelines for DID treatment were one of the sources used there. I keep meaning to go back and track them all down so I can list proper credit.
