Who's real, who's not?!

There have been several posts lately talking about people being real or sincere or lieing. It's very difficult to trust, as alot of you know. It took a year for my psychologist to get me to even "try" to begin to trust people again. Am I making a mistake by being here? I know several of you have been WONDERFUL and I find relief coming here. But, now I'm getting scared and feeling very vulnerable. Some of the "others" are warning me not to come here. Someone please tell me my interpretation is wrong. I finally am finding some relief of the isolation of the disorder and other events, but I'm scared that I'm putting myself out there only to get hurt again.
If there is someone here who is trying to deceive us, I think we all have a right to know. At least privately PM me so I know. Someone please help, I don't want to leave but I'm really scared of being used and hurt again. Anne

Anne,

I'm sorry that you've picked up on that "tone" here and there. There is an undertone right now that is easing. I'm sorry you are a witness to that.

There is no one that can tell me that my experience is not real. It's validated and it's owned.

There are many here to share your dx. and your experience. We will be here for you.

If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM and I'll answer to the best of my capability.

Also, the guidelines for this forum state:

This is a support forum, so discussion about whether or not DID or other dissociative disorders exist are not appropriate here.

There shouldn't be that type of discussion here...in general or in specific. This forum should be safe for you. If there's ever a problem, please don't hesitate to PM.

I'm real and the people I have interacted with here on this board are real too. At times people (myself included) get upset, but there are people here who try to help us sort it out, and I believe we are all looking out for the safety of eachother. I think you can feel safe here.

Im real!

and all of our experiences are real , wether good or bad.

This forum is like my safe room, especially when I feel little - I come online and stay here because I know the other posters understand, and.. well. I dunno, there is something about this forum that is just safe.

I think you are safe here. Is there anything we can do to help you to feel safer?

Hi Rainbowzz!!
I like your name. I feel very little right now. I guess just knowing someone else is there, for now. I'm still scared and sometimes I cry because I'm so scared. I hope that's okay. I used to know how to feel safe but everything is very confusing right now. I listened tonight when the others talked to the nice man. I sat with him but he didn't know it. I see him every Wednesday. My friend Christine talked to him tonight. Can I be your friend too?

Annabelle,

You sure can!

yeah, i know how that feels. if you read my post in this forum called "noone wants us" you can kind of see that the same confusion happened to me earlier and Baby got real upset. Kids used to tease her alot and so shes always afraid to trust others and looking for or suspecting people of trying to hurt her. A long talk with a good friend and some fingerpainting helped her a lot though.

Thank you Rainbowzz
I'm really tired. It's been an exhausting day and it's way past my bedtime.

<font color="purple"> Hello. I feel real. I think other things than others in our circle. MAY be some body does not know how I feel buuuut that does not make me not real. I like to play and wish I could come here more and play. I do not like bullies and may be that is who said some thing to you. I do not read bullies posts. I like it here. Can you play too? jj

jj,
I want to play but right now I'm scared. I'm going to hide for awhile. Annabelle
