Really?

Well, if it helps, I haven't come across anyone like that since I've been a lurker/poster.

Sorry you went through that here, that sucks.

That's good to know B. It was hard coming here trying to help people and we kept coming across people who were just making $#%^ up and playing with people's emotions. We tried really hard to help a 14 year old girl with her alters and things stopped adding up really quickly but we gave her the benfit of the doubt and kept giving her our time but then she was exposed as a fake. I doubt she was even 14. There were a few others but she really hurt us. You try and do a good thing and help someone who seems to need help and they're just bored and messing with you. That made us suspitious of every new person we encountered and it was just too taxing which sucks because we really wanted to help people; we've been stable for quite a while and we have a lot of experience with this stuff.

Things got so bad here with fakes that even Bates started to hate the place and that was the begining of the end. We thought we'd come back and lurk and see what was what here. Maybe there's been a rebirth and the fakes have all ###$ off.

Iv met many a fake of anorexia in my time. Someone who claimed to die from it - but wasn't even ill. Funny how when I was a member of the emetophobia support forums there were no fakes there as far as I know. Emetophobia doesn't have that glamorous appeal does it!!

I know how it feels though to put so much energy into someone and for them to genuinely be taking the mick.

I'm glad you've come back.

The fakes popped up right after United States of Tara came along and glamourised it and made people think it was cool. ######6 idiots.

Wow, that's awful, no wonder you left. If you have any problems, don't hesitate to let me know, I want to keep this place safe for all.

I've been lurking for about a week now and only just started posting again but so far I've not seen anyone suspitious. It's disgusting that there were so many at one point that I became a pro at spotting them. Maybe they finally got bored. Faking DID takes a lot of skill and attention to detail; it can't be done for long.

So true.

SOLO: Around the age of 14, there was a manager at the place we used to work at who had the same name as us; our names start with a G. Because he was older they called him “Big G,” they called us “Little G.”

SOLO is an acronym that means Sole Operator of Lefeueteau Organization; it’s also partly homage to an American character in a Japanese cartoon, Duo, that I admired at the time the name came about. It happens to now describe my host personality.

Little G + SOLO = gSOLO

My core username is "scattered". I have been using it on and off since 2000. I often feel scattered in the sense of fragmented and pulled in various directions. In addition to that, I had recently published a research paper involving somnething called scattered sets in general topology (a branch of pure mathematics that I had specialized in while in graduate school) so the choice of the word "scattered" was in part motivated to provide a secret link between my internal and my external life.

"scattered" has been a sometimes troubing quasi-alter/part/persona (I am DDNOS rather than DID) that gives voice to things online that I would never speak of in real life to anybody other than my therapist. Periodically I have tried to get rid of "scattered" in futile attempts to bring my internal and my external world into better allignment. This has involved me repeatedly (over a dozen times) doing something like creating an e-mail acount such as scattered@yahoo.com and using it to create a google account to post to usenet groups (such as alt.support.dissociation) or join some mental health forum, only to delete the accounts and e-mail addresses after a few months. But then I feel the desire to ressurect "scattered" after a few months of no internet. But when I try to create a new yahoo (or gmail or whatever) account I find that I can't use the same username. So - I pick another one such as too_scattered@gmail.com or still_scattered@yahoo.com - something which has "scattered" in it. A few months ago (after little participation in the internet for about 6 months) I started feeling scattered again and my attempt to find a username that would fly with gmail led to "rescattered". I rahter like how that sounds since I do feel scattered again after a period of feeling more gathered. Hopefully I can resist the temptation to delete the latest incarnation of scattered.

Me and Neville both play Warhammer 40k and we have a Renegade army which is called the Red Corsairs which is a group of Space Pirates. I thought Crimson Corsair sounded nicer. It was also a collaboration between me and Neville. If it was my choice on my own it would of been called Klingonbattleship.

Why would you want to fake DID? Why whould people want DID? It makes no sense to me or any other of my headmates.
