i just joined, and i wanted to say hi.
i am a psych student, but im not here to analyze anyone, or talk therapy or anything like that.
my mother had an alter at one point
and the main reason i joined is because i was very interested in the support network created and what kind of support is given.
thank you in advance:)

You forget that most of the people here don't believe they have a disorder.

[ksol1460.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but some do, and it's perfectly acceptable to post or comment inviting people to other communities they might be interested in, including ones that are not multiplicity-related.

I think the careful point was about "another support community for people with dissociative disorders," which implies that this is a community for people with dissociative disorders.

i will thank you!!!!!:)

[tigrin.livejournal.com]

eh, wouldn't really call this a -support- network...

[maryanni.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the community.

As you can read from comments above, most of us don't really think we have a disorder. If you have any questions, though, feel free to ask. It's a pretty open community.

P.S. One of my majors was psychology, whoo. ;)

You may get more luck at fragmentedminds. Far more quiet than here, but is actually for DID sufferers and their 'support'.

This is a discussion rather than support community, and certainly isn't one specififcally for DID. Unfortunately it seems to get used as such fairly often these days, so who knows, maybe you'll see what you're looking for.

Your more than welcome to ask questions...were always very open! *waves*

sorry for not choosing the exact right words for you all. i deleted it.

[mercydelerium.livejournal.com]

why did you do that hun????

[pilgrimchild.livejournal.com]

i forget that people here get very caught up in semantics. stupid me. i posted the comment the night before taking my husband into surgery and wasnt thinking correctly because I'd had no sleep.

Language is how we communicate. What you actually posted was a very typical mistake people often make about this community. People naturally (gently) corrected.

[ksol1460.livejournal.com]

Again, it is perfectly all right to post invitations to other communities.

There are a lot of lurkers on this community and they might appreciate knowing about alternatives that they feel are better for sharing/ describing their personal experience.

The heck with the semantics and nitpickery. I include myself in that statement. Post your announcements and don't delete them.

Is your husband going to be OK?
