Thanks
I have had about two years of heavy processing time to come up with it. I've seen it come up every couple of months since I had my own 'crash, on this and another DID forum I haunt
The best thing for it is seeing that you're not alone. I have never been a joiner, or comfy and happy in groups of any kind(yes, damage related behavior.), but I felt so much better when I could see it wasn't only me. Which had been something I had been feeling for as long as I could remember.
Just seeing the unbelievable similarities between myself and my life and the others on the forums was scary. All those people knew things I had never told anyone.
Advice? Read. Check out the web pages and forums out there. Lurk on them for a while. Get a feel for what kind of community is there. There are a ton of dead groups out there. So check when the last post dated.
Be sure to see how the people interact. I've come across some bad sites. Not all are moderated well. Or at all, apparently.
Look for an active forum, where the members are watching out for one another. A place where they are careful about traumatizing, or re traumatizing each other.
This is a decent forum. I'd name a couple but that may be against forum rules. I don't want to start problems.
But a little support can be a life saver. And it really feels good to be able to speak freely about things you've had to keep hides, and in a place where everyone knows where you're coming from because they've been living with it just like you.
Okay, really tired now. Apologies for babble. If there be babble.
Take care.
