It makes me uncomfortable because I feel like it feeds the disease not the cure. I'm not judging you or saying you aren't entitled to your opinions and to post freely, I'm saying I feel like I can't freely say what troubles me in such threads. I'm talking about feeling shoved out myself if I don't talk about alters as if they are real people. I merely mentioned it here and already you've 'corrected' me. That's what I'm referring to.

When I went into therapy for DID, these identities did feel like real people and there was significant dissociation such that one was not aware of the other. The point of therapy was to change that though, not reinforce it.

I know DID is tough, and you make a good point--maybe there are more posts because of more separate identities posting.
