If a man with multiple personalities becomes suicidal, would it be considered a hostage situation?

As someone with dissociative identity disorder (formally known as very out dated term multiple personality disorder (which d.i.d. people really hate being called)).

Usually Never, sense we control one body I would be considered suicidal tendencies.

Although with d.i.d. everyone has different systems they have, as with just well. All Humans. All of us are different and present our d.i.d. in different ways. So theoretically a alter could, yes, but generally not very often.

Source = my whole fuckin life.

Holy shit! What an answer. Thanks for the insight.

Hi! Back in reddit there was a DID community. Is there something equivalent in the fediverse? I'm not a system myself but I know a few and I am doing some research on the topic, so I'd be really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction

I haven't found one tbh. Although most of my d.i.d. type stuff for like acceptance and like not feeling alone is through TikTok as people there are less likely to be silenced for existing. If you follow the right people of course.

Although if you looking for research stuff, try out the ring system on YouTube, there my go too for helping people who don't have d.i.d. understand it. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCWOIKarfCsMwRJvQfe7915w

But as always, remember every d.i.d. system is different, just like all humans and experiences.
