Hi Elizabeth and all. Welcome!

If you want when you start a post you can say, "Hi. This is "name/no-name" to identify who's writing. That's cool.

You can certainly write about triggering stuff if needs be. Please just use the special icon with the "red x" to indicate triggering material. Those that can't deal with potential triggers can then know that maybe they shouldn't read at the time. When I know that I'm posting triggering material, I go a step further. At the top of the post I will name the specific trigger in the post. For instance:

***************Child abuse contained*******************

You don't have to do that, but it helps the reader in the moment, I think.

You are doing so well it seems! It took my forever to gain memories and to get to know those inside!

I welcome you and you talk as you feel comfortable. I'm on the "putting things together" part of my live and diagnosis...I have most of my childhood, lose next to no time and am actually wrapping up therapy at the end of this month. I still live with DID. It just takes something HUGE to trigger dissociation for me now, when before I practically lived in a dissociative state.

That's a bit about me.

Again, welcome! If you have any questions, or difficulties, don't hesitate to PM me.
