Do you participate in support groups in your area? Are they peer led?
If you do not have access, would you participate if a group developed?

There are none here where I live, that's why I'm online. I would go if there was one...maybe. Face to face social events trigger my anxiety and it would be pointless attending. I'd rent a therapist if I could afford one, but I can't ATM.

I would really like to go to a support group, but there aren't any near me. The closest I have found is for abuse survivors, and thats not really what Im looking for as I would prefer to go to support group for dissociation. There are obviously lots of provisos - it would need to be easy to get to, and not too late at night etc. I'm not sure what 'peer led' means or what the alternatives are, so I can't comment on that bit!

I would never participate in a support group. I would be worried about being triggered. And my system is so set in people not knowing I think we would be in complete denial. And be unable to admit that we exist.

Fear is a very strong motivator, makes you do stupid things at times, and keeps you from getting better in so many respects. I keep trying to get this point across to the whole system.. |

We have tried to find groups in our area, tho not for DID, more for anxiety... With no luck... I guess that's to be expected, try and get a group of anxiety stricken people in the same room...
