I posted this thread in the Dissociative Disorders message boards but I see ways that people are taking care of themselves both on line and in their personal lives posted on many of the different message boards and some of those people don't have dissociative disorders. So I would like to extend my acknowledgement and support to those people too. So here is a copy of my thread from the dissociative disorders message board. Way to go everyone

I am so glad to see that there are so many people here that are taking responsibility for their own on line experiences behaviors and triggers. in the past three weeks I have watched as many people take the time to decide based on their own triggers and what is best for them be it what they read, whether or not they use the ignore icon and whether or not they use the favorites feature so that they don't have to see entire forums that trigger them, and whether or not they choose to post publically.

Way to go everyone on keeping yourselves and other members safe on line.

For myself this behavior doesn't only include my taking responsibilty for my well being on line. in my personal life I am also taking the steps needed that will take care of any mental or physical health problems such as scheduling appointments with my treatment team, getting enough rest and trying to eat right.

So whether you are accepting responsibility for your own well being be it online or off and since this is a support group I say lets celebrate -

Way to go to Myself and others..
