Interesting responses from the other sites where I disclosed what happened to me and that NOS labeling is back with a new name...

when I got online last night and this morning at each of the other forums the admins had messaged me back and people posted to my posts....

first the posts …….in general and para phrased so to ensure those members confidentiality...…..

most were upset that NOS was being called no disorder no condition. then they were diagnosed with a NOS their treatment providers didn't tell them that they were being diagnosed with not having a disorder. they were told "you have Disorder name NOS" things settled down after I told them to google their NOS disorder and they will see that nothing is changing, they have the symptoms and problems, just that they don't fit an actual diagnosis name. you may not have a disorder but you do have the problems and symptoms. and treatment for NOS was the same as treatment for the new name... work on the symptoms and problems.

nothing is changing... the only difference is the name NOS is now changed to Other Mental Disorder - No disorder, No condition.

many are choosing to remove the NOS from their profiles and signatures because now that they understand what NOS was and is, and that their treatment providers must immediately as of October 2018 change their NOS diagnosis's to the new name Other Mental Disorder - no disorder, no condition, most to many are opting for getting a retested so that their NOS disorders will be changed to an actual disorder name.

the messages to admins....

first of course they did their "apologies"

A couple sites said they are going to be more diligent on making sure their members understand coercing other members to conform to being an alter is wrong and in some states can be illegal and they want their members to understand that a person does not have to have DID or an alter to be a member of their sites.

most pointed out their disclaimers and placed blame me for buying in to what others told me time and time again that my normal part of self was an alter and to post as an alter.

then they said their job was not to impinge on others rights to free speech, if those people wanted to tell others they were alters, should post as alters or that others have a disorder that's their freedom of speech to do so.

then they said if I didn't want to conform to being an alter and posting as an alter I was free to leave their forums. which firms up my feelings that more and more forums out there are turning to disorder "want to be's" "role playing, pretending to be alters" and promoting their sites as "Pro Disorder sites"

I cant use actual other site names in my post due to this site doesn't promote other sites with the sole purpose of sending people to those sites.

what I can say is be careful out there...

tips that point to sites being pro disorder/ for fun and role playing, playing pretend to be a disorder sites...…

if anyone says to you....

you need to post as an alter,
you are an alter,
or other wise telling you what your own problems are called (otherwise known as making a diagnosis of your problems when they are not your own treatment providers,)

or that you need to list your alters in your signature and have so many listed.. (lets put it this way even Sybil which later was proven to be mostly a work of fiction wasn't functioning even close to normal with her televised 16 and most pro sites emulate popular movies for alters. there is an actual limit to how many ways and number of times a persons normal personality can be dissociated before they are unable to function coherently, physically and mentally let alone be able to post online, after a certain amount of dissociating a person can not function outside of a state mental hospital)

be very careful out there, its so easy to fall into this trap before you realize its happening, I never thought I would fall into this trap, and end up having this problem.

so whats the treatment for this used to be called NOS now called Other Mental Disorder - no disorder, no condition situation?

for me the first part of this is easy...……..figuring out how I ended up questioning and stressing out over whether or not this normal part of me was a left behind unintegrated alter,

now to work on what it actually is..... this situation is not a disorder, just symptoms and problems …

a normal part of me that tends to cause problems in my life lately through special therapies like CBT, parts work (otherwise called inner child work or IFS) to find out why I have this normal but problematic situation where I want to "rescue" people.
