Ok so...this is a dissociative disorders forum...which means you dont just have to have DID to come here right?...like i read somewhere just alittle bit ago (few weeks) that dissociation means you also can....just crawl inside yourself...you dont neccessarily need to have multiple beings corrrect? A normal everyday version of this would be driving to work...and not really remembering too much because you already intutively knew...and so a part of you made sure you were safe...while...they other part of you just kinda daydreamed...i just really need more of an acceptance to post here, i need full permission, like i allowed because i really do qualify..just once in awhile....i mean i have forgotten tons....and its not normal forgetting...and i do tend to ...go inside of myself when triggered...so perhaps? I may write once in awhile and be accepted by others? Not feared?

If not thats totally ok too....i can just probably find somewhere else to post it....i was just wondering...i mean its really no big deal....i dont have to if i make anyone uncomfortable...i mean i know you got your own little clan...and i guess i would just kinda be butting in....but i promise i wont clog the forums.....maybe an occasional one...if i get a lightbulb or something...or maybe a question...ill be real quiet....i promise....i wont be mean or anything....really...i can be real supportive....i dont even have to talk...ill just support....please....

I sorta agree with you Inny. It seems like 90% of the posters here have DID or have a DID theme to it.. not that thats bad, its just frequently i feel unwelcome. Please don't get offended, I think socially sometimes its good to try to figure out why groups form the way they do (in-group/out-group dynamics..sorry im a researcher so I read about these things).

Of course you can post here, hon. This forum is for dissociative disorders.

It did kind of evolve into a place where those with DID could share their concern and upsets, but it's for anyone with problems, questions or concerns with dissociation in general.

DID is just one of several dissociative disorders, then there are other dx's that have dissociation as a symptom (i.e. PTSD and BPD just to name a couple).

Talk to us about your dissociation when you're ready.

I didnt know there was a clan. It seems unfair to say that. Anyone can post anywhere surely. Im referring to what esthersvirtue and inacorner said

Well, by now you all know that I am a major league dissociator!........but no dx of DID.

Yes there are many different forms of dissociation, but I don't feel unwelcome here, I have been helped by those with and without DID.

I think the dx is less important than the common experience. It is this shared coping strategy that we can use to help each other. How we use and/or used dissociation to survive is as creative as the human psyche..........

Love to one and all!

I agree with what you said. This isn't a clan and it isn't just for people with DID. Just because there are a lot of people with DID here doesn't mean that we have formed some type of group. Others with a dissociative disorder can post. If they chose not to, then that is their decision.

[nothemama8]

nope no clan here, just those with DID seem to feel safer here and some rarely go to other forums, us we travel allllll over the forum, including going into the chat room, Inny you need never feel unwanted, if we can help we will, remember we may need your support from time to time

I honestly don't think we can tell another person what they should feel in a group, and how they should perceive themselves or experience. Everyone's experience is their own. If they feel left out, then they feel left out. It seems our reponse shouldnt be to deny their feelings, but to say.. You are very welcome here. or perhaps even.. im sorry if there was anything we did to make you feel unwelcome, because it wasnt a need. Further degrading someones feelings of not being in the in-crowd without validating them, just further confirms it since their is no empathy displayed. I'll remove myself from this conversation though. I'm not interested in making waves. I just try to communicate how I experience life to let someone else know they arent alone (Inny) b/c I think there would be nothing more lonely than to reach out to others by exposing your aloneness and not have that be validated.

best regards,
ev

I think you are more than welcome here

[InACorner]

thank you everyone....that was more of a step of vunerablitiy then you may realize...its more of my insecurities of abandonment and rejection that leds me to feel left out because...to be honest...i force myself to leave myself out...i detach...but this was a pretty big step....thank you all for making me feel so welcome...and i promise i am all here for you if you need my support...throw a pm my way....or i will check the forum and support you if you would like me to....just as long as all of you are happy and ok with me being here...then im as happy as a little clam
thank you, love, inny

((((inny))))
