As requested by the members, a supportive place for folks with dissociative disorders (such as DID, also known as multiple personality disorder).

This is a support forum, so discussion about whether or not DID or other dissociative disorders exist are not appropriate here.

Ben is very astute to offer this observation "Only it's full of people, and people are flawed and fallible" about this forum.

For people who deal with full blown dissociative identity disorder this forum can be the only place that feels safe. For us to have others come stomping into this forum saying they don't belong but are going to stay anyway doesn't really help us feel any more supported or safe.

It is up to everyone participating to create this forum into what they need.

For us that means when we are posting something with adult content now we are specific to state that younger fjolks are not to read and to proceed with caution. It is not our responsibility for the safety of others when we are posting within the guidelines set forth. Each poster needs to be aware of their limitations and stay within them.

We hope all who experience dissociative disorders (the DIDers, DIDNOSers, and all those others along the spectrum) can bring respect and courtesy to this forum as everyone has different needs and lacking clairvoyancy none can predict what another needs..............until they directly ask for what they need and how folks can go about meeting those needs more effectively.

until then we all need to keep working on communication skills and remember that we're all at different places in healing.

for some that means hanging out with the littles and healing that way. for others that means having adult discussions w/o any mention of stuffed animals or hidey holes. nothing is wrong with either but each side needs to respect the other.
