I am not sure what you mean. But after having thought about it I do think that communicating via boards is a much safer environment.

As someone who has read your path over this past year. That is what I meant. The folks who contend with this dx whether or not they admit it is DID go about it in a different way due to the guidelines there. I find this forum in particular refreshing in its support for dissociative disorders. In contrast to other sites this isn't a place to argue dx with ppl or 'offer' up what one deems supportive. From back when this forum started I put this in a thread:</font><blockquote><div id="quote"><font class="small">Quote:</font>
I'd rather that people understand that SUPPORT often means NOT asking questions that only satisfy the person asking.

One cannot make their own brain understand its reasons for splitting in the first place until enough safety exists to handle that type of revelation/memory.

As for freaking out it is natural to move through levels of denial in regards to the dx. This particular thread on its own would seem as if I cannot handle what dx I have yet in context of more posts and years of posting it is merely a blip on the healing path.
