PsychCentral, in general, should be a relatively safe place for a person to come to seek support, information, and relation.

The DD forum has been unusually excepting from issues that might be affecting other parts of the board. Also, it's been, in the past, a place where a dissociator and/or any affected member can come for "special" understanding when something has happened to them IRL or at PC.

DID is one of the several dissociative disorders. I also know that, with DID, there's a mix of needs...widely varying.

I'm speaking specifically of DID here in this paragraph. We are people who have faced horrendous things; alot of those things are unspeakable. There are times when a child needs a safe place to be little, surrounded by other children who can enjoy. There are times when an angry adult needs to vent without fear of upsetting a child. There are times when a ticked off teen needs to just be heard. There are MANY needs at unpredictable times.

I think that we should focus this thread here on out, or even start a new one about announcing the particular need that we might have when posting a thread...if we can get agreement on that. There are things that very possibly could be posted that a child can't see...it would be harmful. There are times when an adult doesn't have patience for children. It's just a huge mixed bag, and neither aspect is more important than the other.

Having said all of that, I want to further say that it ALL applies to a Dissociative Disorders Forum. So, how can we give all aspects of us what we need, when we need it?

I may be way off base with this post and not understanding the need here. However, it seems to me that the bottom line is that there are many needs here and some might not be met at current time? If I'm way off base, then I apologize.

Suggestions? Should I start a new thread where all of us can make any suggestions?

I'm not arguing that all aren't welcome here. Of course, we all are. However, this is an "issue" that has come about and maybe could be beneficial to discuss wants/needs? It could be alot of fun too. I KNOW we all are creative!
