Is it safe yet?

We aren't sure who or what is safe right now. Please, we need to know if we can come out.

I am sure glad to see you white iris! You can come out if you wish.... I'm sorry things got a bit bad feeling around here ... but there are lots of us working to keep it safe here! (((((safe hugs))))))

I'm here!

I'm safe!

Good to see you!

((((( constellation )))))

but we aren't sure we are still accepted as having active others. they are very afraid now to come out again. we will be laughed at and said we are faking all this. perhaps i should just go away again.

You are accepted, wanted, cared for and loved.

You post anytime you want to.

I know all of you and you are real to me.

Petunia

Oh (((W _ I_) ))))) of course you are ALL accepted ! You know, EVERYONE has parts to them... it's that ppl with DID don't have all the "knowing" between their parts like we (singletons) do!

How are you tonight? Please don't go away.. this forum is for YOU!

I'm not good. I'm scared and very upset. H is gone for the week. The whole thing with the thread and the other person and thinking that we are fakers if we post as others...now we're alone at home and I want to go have a beer and eat and eat but can't...and I want to be me but I'm afraid we'll get into trouble.

Tomorrow you will see T and you can tell her what happened.

She will help you work it out.

Till then, just know that we are here for you and if you still don't feel safe, hon, just PM.

Petunia

Petunia is right and you know how sweet she is...stay safe

((((((((((the constellation))))))))))

We're here for you & we're safe for you

We certainly believe you

It sounds like you're going to have a hard week, so any of you PM anytime.

You are welcome to post. Of course you are. Nobody I know thinks anything like what you are saying.

Please just try and step past any negative stuff that happened here. Try and put it in the past where it belongs.

Stick with those who are safe and supportive.

ok ((((((all safe people)))))) i will work on getting past this and not get so obsessive...but then, that's me, i get obsessive about everything there is to worry about...ha ha ha. thanks all so much. i think i will shut down soon and go to bed. lights on and all the dogs at my door.
dare I sign this?
Vicki

(((((((((Vicki)))))))))) It can be safe for us here

so i'm going to be brave & sign too.

Raven Girl.

Good to see you Raven Girl!

Glad you feel safe.

Petunia

anyone who says you or any of us are faking just never lived in our skin

Raven Girl, All of me believes all of you .
Gentle bunny bumps to you. )))))RG(((((

Remember, even if a member does say something about their not believing another, that it might be part of that member's problem: not believing stuff, not wanting to believe a disorder dx, wanting to stir up trouble... things like that. It is their dx talking.

That's why it's important for everyone to remember the guidelines, and take posts "at face value"...

With regards to safety? Take a breath and step back away from the keyboard.. hehehe I have to from time to time too! See? IRL nothing that is said here with words can touch us! We are safe from harm from members here... IRL right? Plus it is OK to use "ignore" .. I do!

And with all the support others give to members here... there are plenty of us who care to overpower someone who might not use the right words To use a football or kick ball term we can "PILE ON" and win!

I don't know if it is safe or not but i am glad to see you here raven girl as well as lots of others. feeling unsafe is scary. I'm wanting to hide away all the time - not personal reaction to people here so much as my own stuff and not feeling safe generally. Feel out of touch with reality a lot of the time. NOt good.

We will all keep you safe

I am so glad that there is so much support here. We're feeling better now and have taken the deep breathe and are trying to remember that the words on the screen can't hurt us and the supporting words can help us. Part of my scared and untrusting system learning to use some "self care". Boy is that new to us!!! Always caring for others and forgetting to use some of that on us. Always afraid of what others think or will think and blaming ourselves for whatever goes wrong. We need to learn so much in this area. This seems to be a very good place to begin.

I'm glad you're able to use distancing techniques and to not let online words affect you so much, after all ppl who make such comments don't actually know YOU and only you know you and so you're able to judge just WHO you are... I don't think that makes much sense lol... it doesn't to me know I've written it... ah well. It's so good you are working on feeling safe here anyway .

That's right ((silver)) only YOU know what is good for you or not, only YOU know what is true for you or isn't...

sometimes members can say something that is true... maybe only true for them, maybe true for many people, but that doesn't mean it is true for YOU! And that's ok! It's ok to have needs that are special and different than another. It doesn't make it wrong or right.

Staying safe, taking care of yourself is a big, good step! Not letting what someone else says (and not trying to figure out what they are thinking when they type it... is so very important .. here and IRL.

Always try and find something good, and ignore the other stuff written.

Don't take everything personally... because it might not be about you at all. Even when another member answers you, it still might be all about them. (Which means a part of them is really writing to themself and not to you!)
