Zenhussy,

I have similar concerns.

I have been asked so many questions in the past few weeks... been asked if my posts are written by "more than one" person by people with limited understanding of DID/DD, had my beliefs and statments analyzed and quoted out of context. I feel like there are a lot of stereotypes circulating here at psych central and that DID is not understood real well... which is why I started to post and then stopped.

Anyway, I think sometimes it IS best if only people with some real understanding post. Otherwise it can be a bit insulting for someone to say "so who are you writing as now?". DID is much more than knowing who is "out". And, honestly, a lot of DIDers consider "who is out" (including myself, sometimes) to be private information, anyway.

There are many good books and articles on DID... lots more than I posted in the resource thread. Anyone who wants to get info on DID can do some research -- and I would rec'd NOT reading almost anything published before 1995.

My thoughts, M
