what has happened now that has you down about this?
i know most people don't understand, but i promise that it really is possible to for people to learn and understand more. there was a time when i thought multiple personalities was just something people made up to be on talk shows. and then there was a time when i thought it was "like Sybil," as someone mentioned before. the thing that made a difference to me was that someone i cared about told their story. after that, i started reading books on it and i learned that it wasn't at all what i thought.
it is possible to help people understand. and it is possible for a person who doesn't understand to gain some knowledge and compassion. i'm living proof of that!
on the other hand, if it puts a lot of stress on you to be so open about it and put yourself out there, you have to remember to take care of yourself, too. because taking care of you is more important, than anything.
it sounded from your post like you were having a hard time. i'm sorry!
just so that everyone knows the update: i haven't heard anything back from DocJohn yet about having a DID forum. maybe he decided against it?
take care, lizzietc!
