We all feel the same.

A couple days away and we just comfortably did our thing.

I don’t know what to say.

Im sorry that it upsets you that I and other members point out things like past posts. unfortunately if I remember right the rules are everyone has only one account so others are not always going to know when someone else in a multiple system is posting.

Also the reason why I point out past postings is because sometimes when I am having a problem one of the things that help me is going back to my past posts and reading them. I sometimes forget what I post, when and to who. forgetting things is just a normal part of many of my problems like dissociation. it helps me to remember whats going on with me. and when i re read members past posts sometimes I find that they are going through the same problem they did 6 months ago or what ever and they found solutions to the problems the last time around. so maybe finding those past posts can help fix the problems now too.

I do frequently point other members to their past posts for the same reasons.... they can be helpful no matter who writes them.

with DID and dissociative disorders sometime people dont remember what is what so reading the past posts, especially for frequent posters it can fill in the gaps of day to day life, like journaling can.

again Im sorry that it upsets you that I and other members try to help with memory problems and such by pointing you to the past posts.

heres something that might help.... have everyone start signing their posts. that way we will at the very least know who is posting since everyone has to use the same account. this way members will be able to get to know you and your system as individuals. I have seen posts before where other members who have many kinds of alters sign their names at the end of their posts.
