Sometimes I get really offended by your responses to things. Like you try to be the therapist here, but I'm not looking for therapists, I have one. I'm also not looking to be talked down to on a constant basis, it makes the entire board feel unsafe. And it's not just me I've seen you talk down to. I think I'm just the only one who will say it.
I say "I think it's sodium amytal" and you say "O I know about sodium amytal you don't have to tell me about sodium amytal, here's a whole history on it". I was just trying to help you figure it out... And then when I say I don't appreciate when you do something, you tell me it's because I have transference issues with therapists and because you are one. First of all, I like my therapist. Secondly I don't see you as a therapist, I see you as a board member. I have no proof that you are even a therapist, and until I see it, I will always see you as just another board member. And because I don't care enough to see proof, you will always be just a board member. People lie all the time on the internet. It happens. So you are a board member. I am here to converse between people with DID, it bothers me when someone interjects (in other circumstances also) with talking down to me. It really bothers me.
And you'll tell me "Well block me". But that's not how I work through things. I don't ignore my problems. I work through them.

lydia I took most of my reply to this to pm because I did not want to detract from this thread.
Im sorry that you feel this way.
in general and not only for you my brief reply is
Yes I would say place me on your blocking list. this site has this feature to protect ourselves from what we perceive to be triggering and harmful to ourselves. I am not offended by anyone that may need to place me on their blocking list for their own well being. even I use this blocking feature for my own well being here. from my point of view protecting myself online by using this blocking feature isnt running away from / ignoring my problems. I place this in with the knowledge that I cant control other people, I cant control what others say, post to me or what posts they reply to, i can only control and protect myself from harm. this protection feature for me comes in very handy especially when Im having a day when my dissociative symptoms are activated.
Im doing my part by choosing to remain moderated so that I and the psych central team can be assured what I post is correct and not my trying to be someones therapist here. And I use the protection features this site has to protect me. I cant control whether others do their part by using the protection features of this site or not.
I also never tell anyone online that they are having transference issues. my standard reply is always -
Im sorry we cant tell you what the problem is in you, all we can do is tell you whether we have the same problems and what our own treatment providers called it in ourselves, and then I tell about when I had the problem my treatment providers called it transference, bipolar, depression, anemia... what ever it was called. I know it irritates some that I wont tell them they are having transference or whatever may be but this site doesnt allow us to make a diagnosis.
im sorry if someone told you, your dissociative symptoms was transference.
Again Im sorry you feel that way.
there is something I want to clarify in regards to my post---
your quote of my post was not accurate. I did not state what you quoted. I simply stated that I have heard of that drug.
after that yes I did give a brief explanation that this drug is still used in the USA. I did so because there are many different countries, cities, towns, locations, mental agencies and many different members here on psych central.
some places dont use that drug
but there are places that still ***do*** use that drug.
Since the drug was mentioned I thought it would be nice if people knew what it was and why it was still used.

maybe in your understanding and location this statement is true.
but here where I live and work that statement would not be.
here where I live and work DID is having two or more alternate personalities that take control and the person has a certain type of memory loss - the host doesnt remember but the alters do.
so here where I live and work the mental health community believe in order for a drug to be used for DID that drug must treat DID - example since your question centers on repressed memories since this type of memory loss that is with DID is one where the alters have the memories the host doesnt, the drug must integrate the alters so that the host gains back the memories that the alters hold separate. no drug at this time can do that not even this one unfortunately. maybe someday but not yet. At least thats the belief here where I live and work.
