I just wanted to say how wonderful it is to see so many people posting here now. This forum has grown so much and it's awesome to be able to talk to other people who can relate to what goes on with all of the dissociative disorders (as well as those that have dissociation as a part of what goes on for them).

I'm so glad people are feeling safe enough to post here now. I know for me, it took a long time for me to feel safe enough to do more than lurk or give an occasional hug. It also took a long time for me to accept that I even had a dissociative disorder.

I am thankful for this site and for all of you here. While we all have different things going on for us and relate in different ways, sharing experiences and giving and getting support has been so helpful. Thank you everyone. I'm so glad to know you all.

Hi,

I'm BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), I have always kept it a secret. The only one that knew was my wife but, it was evident to other people that I came in contact with because I went by a different name when I split. I remember everything I did when I split but, there were times I did some dangerous things. I am doing well now and the meds help. I developed this condition when I was 9 and I am now 52 and it has manifested itself to nearly destroying my marriage. I have been married for nearly 36 years, to the same woman. She is a wonderful person. I love her dearly and hope we can learn to live with my BPD.

Nice to read your post and you helped me to "come out" so to speak.

my husband of 28 years refuses to believe that D.I.D. exists. i can't even express in words how deeply this hurts us. it is like he is calling me a liar or a malingerer who refuses to hold up her end of the bargain of marriage.

this forum has given me a place to be myself and encourage and receive encouragement. my daughters do accept me and i'm very grateful for their loving acceptance. but i do still struggle with my husbands denial. it makes me feel sad, angry, hurt, belittled and humiliated and it is wrong. so, i'm glad i can belong here and continue to do part of the work of recovery and healing that is all i really want. i want resolution in my dissociative difficulties - i'm not asking for anyone's pity, but understanding is nice when i can get it.

(((((((((((((((((50guy)))))))))))))) It's so good to see you here. From what T has said, everyone does have parts of themselves. But the degree to which they are split depends on life situations and the way each brain works things out. So, it makes perfect sense to me that you would feel that split, even if you do not lose time. I'm so glad you decided to post here. I'm really glad too that things are going better for you and for your relationship with your wife. Hope to hear from you more on this forum.

((((((((((((((((((((allthegirls6))))))))))))))) I'm so glad you are posting again here! We have really missed you. I know it sure didn't feel very safe here for a while but hopefully as we all become stronger and share more, we can all feel safe here. Thank you so much for replying.

((((((((((((((((multipixie9))))))))))))))) I'm so sorry husband is not supportive. When I was going through some events in the last few years, my dx was used as fodder for ridicule and it was horrible. I felt crazy and alone and misunderstood. It affected how I reacted to everyone around me, even when I tried not to let it.

I'm so glad you found us here and I hope we can support you.
