Also, since it is important to be able to understand and effectively communicate, I have asked people posting here what it is they mean in their use of certain word/words.
I am very appreciative of all those here who listen and share and give their own personal insights on dissociation and DID.
thank you so much for your posts.

I love it that you ask for clarification when reading my posts. line in the sand is that each of us posts from our own locations standards of what is and isnt mental disorders , symptoms, definitions, and use the terms used in our own locations. Having so many different locations, countries, cultures on one website means theres bound to be confusions, conflicting information and different wordings. the only way we can be on the same page with each other is by asking another member what they mean.
which is why ....
many of my posts contain statements like Im confused because the poster said this and in my location this means that, is that what you mean.
another standard statement of mine is to consult with the posters own treatment providers.
and I am trying to get the word out that America has changed over to a new diagnostic process and have included links to my posts on these changes in my signature line. my location uses these standards and with out this information other posters can not always understand where my posts are coming from. this way rather than having to search down through pages in the forums to find my threads that will help them figure out why I have posted the way I have (my own locations standards) its readily available. Im glad the word is getting out ( my locations standards of dissociative disorders link now has over 6000, views and my locations standards of America recognized mental disorders now has about 300 views)
(side thought I think it would be great for a sticky in this forum for all the different locations diagnostic manuals criteria for dissociative disorders like the DSM and IDC diagnostics that way those locations that do not use the DSM will have their diagnostic criteria manual information here too)
so thank you kitchenfloor for taking the time to ask questions when you are confused and such about my posts. it really does help when people around the world ask questions. love your posts.
