I understand where doc john is coming from. There are tons of forums already on here. I've always asked my DID questions as well as any other dissasociative issues I am facing whether it be depersonalization DID and even DDNOS when I was curious. I've gotten a wide variety of responses, some threads with only one or two replies and some with tons. It's a hit or miss in any of these forums. I think getting a response mostly comes from how you deliver the message, the title you give it and if the people reading can relate. Even if both writer and reader have lets say dissociative amnesia, you can write a topic about it but not every one with dissociative amnesia will respond as some don't know what to say,, some don't have the energy to help or they just don't know how to answer the question. There are many reasons behind why you may not be getting a response.

I do see it a topic of interest making a sub thread up there with the garden for people who are experiencing non DID symptoms. I felt a little excluded when that forum was made since I don't know of any littles and they don't seem to come out if there are any. But this site is not intended to exclude anyone, it is intended to include everyone in discussion. And please do not push yourself from this forum just because you do not have DID, your thoughts and words can help all, even if they do or do not have DID. I may have DID but I have some symptoms of the other DDs as well and with knowledge of others with those symptoms it could really benefit others. And it goes likewise for those with DDs and not DID. For instance, you may have a DD but not DID and you need help finding out how to keep from slipping so much. DID patients and DD patients have this in common thus being good sources for support.

Just because some have alters and some don't, we do not intend to isolate anyone. We are all here to give or get support and labeling it as just one disorder in the thread is a bit more isolating than the system going on now.

If we made new categories for everything... Relationships and communication would be split to Divorce, married, dating, engaged, family, friends, co workers... And this just splitting one thread. Then you would need to split the bipolar thread into bipolor one and bipolar 2. Then you would need to split schizophrenia and psychosis into their sub categories. Eating disorders into their categories.. This site would be more searching for the topic then actually searching for answers.

I wish you the best!
