DID Forum Meet in Person

This makes me wish I lived in america..

It sounds as if most people are on the East Coast. Or closer to it at least. So I say East Coast would probably be best

And I wish you did too Spanky_Spee!

doesnt matter to us; were rite smack in the middle. hehe

Eric wants me to post this:
We should have a very casual meet-up somewhere. Make it a weekend thing or an extended weekend thing.
Something cheap but fun like visiting D.C. Or going sight-seeing around the US. Maybe start it as little groups that'll hang out together while they travel.
East-coasters would meet somewhere and hang out
West-coasters would meet somewhere and hang out
Centralians would meet somewhere and hang out and then everyone would possibly come together to meet somewhere and hang out.
Something simple and easy to start with. We want to see you guys sooner than later.
This of course doesn't mean that a big fancy trip can't be planned but maybe something more accessible should come first

I really like this idea!! I think it'd be great.

I'm in the MidWest, if anyone wants to meet up message me and I'll see if we can get a group thing started!

Hi All,

I'm sorry I didn't notice this thread earlier. I'm going to lock this thread and ask you to all move this discussion into PMs. It is not safe for you to be having this discussion on the open forum. Not to be alarmist, but seeing as you are discussing on the open forum, it would not be difficult for a non-DID person with ill intentions (knowing DID people can be more susceptible to being abusively manipulated) to decide to crash your meet. Therefore it is not appropriate that you be discussing this in the open forum.

I'd also like to point out that I have concerns, particularly for the newer members of the forum, that you may be feeling enthusiastic about having met and being able to being open with other DID people online and therefore need to consider if perhaps you are getting swept away in the excitement of this and possibly ignoring any parts that may be trying to raise concerns about such a meet up. I certainly know that in the past, members from here have met up with each other and have occasionally had the relationship go really askew, which results in them not feeling safe in using the forum here again because the others they initially met here and then had issues with in real life might be reading. So you need to highly question whether going to meet others with DID could potentially result in you effectively feeling that you've lost a support network here if it doesn't go well.

I will also caution you all again to be highly careful of your safety when exchanging your personal details with anyone online and to be extra extra careful if you agree to meet. Remember that you can never be 100% sure that the people you are conversing with online are definitely who they say they are and to treat all interactions of a personal nature with caution.
