Question:
Hello everyone. I am new to this group; just joined this morning. I belonged to another list like this before, but left it for several reasons — none of which are really important. I was diagnosed two years ago as DID. There are 10 of us altogether. My name is Jane; the others are Genevieve, Annie, Patti, Annabelle, Lily, Ruth, Maggi, Margaret and Tricia. I’m hoping that we can all be comfortable here and meet new friends who are like us. I’m not sure what else to say. Please feel free to ask me whatever you want. If I’m uncomfortable answering something I will just say so. I am excited about belonging to your group. Jane

hey there! welcome. feel free to write abt whatever you like, or nothing at all. I, personally, am great at writing absolutely nothing for pages on end…..no one on here’s complained at me yet, so I figure whatever you write would be safe. this is a great crew. I’ve gotten a lot out of being a part of this group. Hope you find it rewarding as well. btw: Genevieve is one of my favorite names. Pronounced soft g (like gara*g*e) John-vee-ehve, right? Sometimes I think my Kitty would pick Genevieve if she were to pick a name…but she’s been Kitty so long we can’t imagine her anything else. And the name works for her. Ok, done rambling. Welcome! :) dyenths (Plural of "Jen", in toddler-ese)

Hi, Actually the name is pronounced "jenna veev" like king arthur’s queen. I’m having a really hard time this morning. I have therapy today, and Idon’t want to go. Lots happening on the inside but I don’t feel very connected to anyone there. Also, my license plate on the front of my car is missing — I didn’t notice until yesterday and now I’m all freaked out about driving. I just can’t figure out what to do. I hate days like this. I just want to stay in bed forever. Jane – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – hey there! welcome. feel free to write abt whatever you like, or nothing at all.

Hello, This is my first post. I have been reading asd for several weeks, but I just don’t know where to jump in. So here I am. I am DID and very confused. I figured I might as well jump in and introduce myself. I am pretty nervous but also desparate, There just aren’t that many people who know how to respond or support a person who has difficulty knowing who they are or what they just said. I hope I do this thing right. If not, a gentile reminder would be appreciated. I certainly don’t want to offend anyone, I just want to be able to talk to people about the problems, I am certain that many of us face, related to DID. It is hard to just jump into an ongoing thread, especially if you don’t know me. So here I am… and me, and me, and……oh well the list goes on. I just want you all to know that as I have read what was posted the last several weeks I admire everyones courage and strength. The caring and support here gave me the extra nudge to post myself. So, till I post again, Anne

hi Anne :) you can just stick in your big toe, or just kinda jump right in. whatever you feel you can. oh, yeah, you already did! right down there below our sig :) first posts are scary! we remember our first post (it’s an easy one to remember

Anne, welcome! ASD is a great place to hang out. Sharing here has been, and I expect will continue, to be great. We also appreciate the support we’ve found here. And it is agreed that this dissociation stuff is pretty confusing! Take care- Trillium – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hello, This is my first post.

Oh cool, you sound as confused as I am *grin* Welcome to the group! Yes, people here will understand and be supportive. It’s pretty hard to ‘do it wrong’ here as long as you use your common sense. We are a pretty good bunch in terms of helping out and all that so don’t worry about making mistakes (yeah, yeah, I know easy to say…) I (we) are multiple, in therapy now since early 1992 and working toward *ntegr*tion (our choice and totally a decision each system has to make for itself. Half the time we argue inside about this decision and our t’pist just says ‘whatever you all want to do is fine with me’). We seem to be doing this whether we want to or not so it seems like it’s the natural way for this system to go. Other than that, we are in a female body, 34 (until 3/7 when the body will be 35:), have a MA in clinical psych and work with kids with severe behavior disorders (well, worked. Right now we are in therapy and building a house so we don’t have time for a ‘real’ job:). We like rock climbing, car racing, cross stitch, reading (esp. science fiction), have an SO of 17 years, have no external kids, and… can’t think of what else right now. There are currently somewhere between ten and five insiders. Due to the *ntegr*tion this keeps changing. We range in age from ageless to four years old. There are males and females inside. Our perps were the father, two uncles and grandfather, as well as family ‘friends’. Other than the dissociation we have lots of PTSD stuff and other more minor problems to deal with. We’ve been in asd since 1993 (I think:) and think this is a great place to find understanding and support. As for the confusion and questions, been there done that, still confused about it all! Feel free to jump into posts, ask questions, offer ideas and such and generally make yourself at home! I assume you understand the significance of jello? *grin* (well, you said you’ve been reading here for abit so I figure you _must_ have run into at least _one_ jello post!) Everyone in your system is welcome to post here as long as they agree to follow the rules (make sure you check out the FAQ and SYSK. I don’t have copies but I’m sure you can get them from someone or from dejanews) There aren’t many rules here but they are all really good ones (such as spoilers). For me the dissociation _I_ experience is different than the multiplicity in this system so I know all about not knowing who I am or where I am or what I’m talking about. I have alot of trouble remembering things in general. Rainbow Colors (Jill) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Hello, This is my first post.

Hi, Anne! Welcome to asd. Thanks for introducing yourself.I know that can be a difficult thing to do. Your intro was just right and not offensive at all. Unfortunately, I think that feeling like you must have done something wrong is almost universal in this group. I agree that there’s a lot of caring and support on asd. If you want ppl to reply via email, you might want to get an anonymous account through twwells. You can get one just by emailing to anyone who has a twwells address. Some ppl in the ng (including me) won’t email to ppl who don’t have an anonymous account. e – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Hello, This is my first post.
