I wish that there was such a place where the condition comes first and we are pulled out of judgemental society, get therapy and then to finally integrate back into normal society.

Kinda sounds like prison...but not.

I wish.

there is a place. its called state mental hospitals. people with mental disorders are removed from society, sent to the state hospital where they get stabilized and treated for their problems then slowly integrated back into normal society.

as nice as it sounds I wouldnt like it. even in segregated populations theres problems like this. if not from the staff / treatment providers then from each other.

that sounds a great place

actually one of the highlights of that island would be that we can act ourselves without any judgement, because everyone has the same condition

and their could be a play area for alicia- complete with what ever she wanted

The State mental health facilities are generally so under-funded that the patient cannot truly get help enough to recover and get functional. The Criminal Justice System wants those tax dollars.

sometimes that would be nice!
I spent the evening in a cabin on a mountain with my husband and his best friends. They are all therapists. they dont know I am in therapy. It didnt take long before their therapy talk brought up the fascination of working with DID and how “those people” are so interesting. then a couple DID jokes came out. incredibly uncomfortable. I was thinking about this thread and how nice it could be to escape.

Just having a hard time dealing with peoples instant judgement over my persons and the effects of alters unbeknownst to them on this body’s appearance.

Someone on the job just said if he had my hands he would cut them off. I just ignored him for it’s not worth losing my job over or jail time. The stress and anxiety over things that I can’t control is just eating me up.

You just can’t help people being people. Sigh.
