Hi, people.
I have no idea how long it's been since I've been out here. Sadly, I am just here because someone outside of the system is causing me to have a bad day. I was feeling isolated and alone, so I thought I'd go online on a safe area of the internet and post my experience and my feelings about it. I ended up here. Hello.
Darn it, DID is not funny! It's not a joke! I have DID and I can't think of a single joke to make about it. BUT someone I know makes lots of jokes about it. So there I was, on a forum I love (but not this one) with people I love, reading a thread that had some very funny jokes when the admin of the dang website makes a joke about "multiple personalities". GRRRRR!

I remember having to stop going to this website shortly after finding out about my DID because I didn't feel comfortable there anymore. I've been back out there for a few months now, very happy to be back, and then this happens! Okay, the joke was from a few years back, during the time I was gone, but still. It's out there and I found it. It ruined my mood. It's still ruining my day.
I'm so upset. Why does the world boil DID down to entertainment?

My life is not funny. It is not some great drama where I kidnap or murder people because I'm bat@$%&-crazy. Dang ... I'm the victim here! I'm the one who suffered! Why is my life a joke?
Anyway, I told that person not to make fun of mental illness "ever". I hope she gets it and never makes a joke about DID again. If not, I'm afraid I may just have to tell her in a private message that I have DID and that I know for a fact that it is no joke and that it hurts my heart every time she says something like this. (Sighs.) I don't know ... I guess I'll have to come out here more often so I don't feel isolated or surrounded by people who just don't get it.
Thanks for listening.
