I agee no matter what the persons problem there is benefits from being a part of all the forums not just one. A person with one disorder can understand, help and have other problems in other areas. I find something special that fits me in every forum here. I may not be bipolar but I do have depression. Bipolar is a form of depression. I don't have as severe depression as bipolor people do and my depression doesn't run in cycles but the things I learn to take care of me can help others with any form of depression take care of themselves and I know that people with bipolar may know some things about how to take care of themselves that will help me take care of myself. This is true with all the message boards. No one needs to have the most severe forms of the disorders or even have that disorder to visit the forums and offer help and gain help in other areas of their lives. One thing I do know for example the sexual abuse forum and the other forums all have things that a person in dissociative deals with and vice versa and so does all the other boards. So I don't limit myself to just one forum. I have a friend who has been watching without becoming a member because she is not DID. She thinks just because she's not DID she can't join in here at this website. I've tried everything to convince her to get her B**** inside with us all, maybe seeing this post will help her decide...
