DDNOS/DID RESOURCES: symptoms, common questions, etc.

by **tomboy24** » Mon Nov 12, 2012 9:51 pm

DDNOS/DID Resources: This thread consists of websites on DDNOS/DID and other threads that discuss common questions, common topics, DID experiences, advice on common DID troubles, and more. Everything here is (hopefully) helpful to everyone, from those who are wondering if they have DDNOS/DID, to those who are veterans seeking others who have shared similar experiences.

Comments/Replies: Please, do not leave comments or replies here. I would like to try and reserve this thread for resourceful thread-posting only, so that people do not have to search/read through comments to get to the threads they're looking for. If you have suggestions for threads that should be added, please Private Message me. If you wish to leave a comment/reply about this thread, please do so here: http://www.psychforums.com/dissociative-identity/topic100836.html

Organization:
Threads will be organized by content. Some threads may appear more than once if they qualify for different subjects. I will be posting the different categories in "separate" replies so that they may hopefully be separated more clearly and better organized. I will also attempt to list threads in order of relevance because I know some titles may not clearly state what the thread is about, but when in doubt, it is probably best to read, (or at least skim) through all of those under a category you're interested in. (Most of this is here on the first page; the "Denial" subject, however, is on the second page).
Additions: Since I can only edit a post within the same day that it is posted, if there are any additions added later on, they will not be visible from the first page or the category they belong in. Please be aware of this and realize that you may have to skim other pages to find threads you are interested in. I will make additions as obvious as possible, and will try to post notices where I can about any additions. Thank you for your understanding.
