I have been dealing with many other issues for the past several days and this thread has escaped me. I too lie shadowdancers thread. I don't see any reason to have to make littles go to a special place. Also, lets be honest, did or not, we all have little people inside. I am concerned about trying to daignose someone so we know they are "fit" to post in this forum. That seems very biased and when I see it I think, "i have bigger injuries then yours therefore I am worthy of posting here but you are not" I hope that makes sense. I am not interested in hurting anyone, causing hurt feelings. I am also not interested in seeing other people get hurt feelings.

In my opinion each of us needs to step outside of ourselves enough to truly see our neighbor. Also, DID or not I see nothing wrong with creating safe fantasy places. It is a survial, coping skill that can be helpful for many people.

Most of all I am hurt for others as I read this thread. It feels like a lot of hurt and misunderstood feelings. I wish that in my heart, and in the hearts of others that our first thought was to love and do no harm.

Lastly, DID and related disorders is not a club. If it is I wish I could quit. I didn't chose this diagnoses. I have it like the rest of us here because things were so unbearable during a part of our lives that we compartmentalized and for some people split.

I can find a lot of people in the outside world to be angry with and maybe even some of them deserve the abuse I feel like sending in their direction. However, I don't need to hurt people here. I hope I don't. I hope we can hear eachother and move on. Incidentally, there have been pity parties etc in other forums as well. Let's not single this one out.

Congtatulations to any of us who can let ourselves go to a comfort cave and feel safe. I want to have that skill.

PEACE TO ALL WHO ENTER HERE, AND MAY EACH HEART BE FILLED WITH LOVE.
