weare8,

We all have a story to tell.

I'm also wary of upsetting anyone with some of the things I wanted to say.

Partially because we are all dealing with DID at different stages, and me discussing recovery may make it sound like my way is the only way. It's not.

I worked out what worked for me and I share in the hope that some of it might be useful to someone else. Also writing about it is very therapeutic.

But things being what they are, what helps one person can be quite overwhelming for another.

I remember a few years back when someone was trying to give me some advice... It was too much. WE couldn't compute it. But over time it began to make sense.

I just want to ask people who share here to take onboard only that which they find helpful at the time of reading, and to try and not let something that doesn't quite compute at this time upset you too much.

We are all friends here sharing a complex condition. I don't believe anyone is trying to upset anyone deliberately.

If it helps we could put a May Trigger at the beginning of our posts.

I don't have anything to post that may trigger. I'm dealing with gathering information and understanding DID and working on recovery.

It's only when I post about the past, about what I believe caused DID and PTSD in me that I may have to start with a warning.

But I don't go there often because I'm all about how DID effects me now and how I'm coping with it as I get older.

It's really nice that we are all very aware of the effect our posts might have on others.

Go steady, take your time, and post and read only that which you are comfortable with at the time.
