Hi there. I read that you feel the most comfortable on board 2000.
I hope you'll still write to those of us that you trust (I think (hope) that I'm included there.
I love that you both ask
for support and give tons of support.And I am rooting for you in this dissociative battle. I think you're incredibly brave to be trying so hard to get through this.
I think the exchanges between you and Tara were wonderful. I think for both you and for the whole
board to understand dissociation.So I hope you'll continue to contribute to both
SPB and PPB.If not I'll really miss you, so please at least check in.
Shelli

Of course I consider you one of my favorite people here. I think it's taking me a little while to feel comfortable again after all the negative things that were going on. I know you understand, but a lot of people don't realize that victims of childhood trauma don't just have an emotional response to a post but a physical one that leads to dissociation and sometimes self-injury. I know I'm not telling you anything new, I guess this is more for anybody reading this post and maybe realizing the impact words can have. take care, judy

Judy, I so enjoy conversing with you, and we have a lot of "issues" in common (except that I wasn't traumatized as a child - no accounting for me).
I generally try to be positive and supportive. But how about if I'm planning to be really rageful and vicious I'll put a *** in the subject line (even though that will make it really easy for Dr. Bob to catch me).
And if any of my posts give you problems and I hadn't anticipated it, let me know honestly, and I'll flag future similar posts.
And when I'm having one of my infamous meltdowns into a quivering puddle of fragmented ego bits, I'll flag it with a single *. That will work out well for me too, because you would be able to say something soothing and supportive to me without actually having to read anything upsetting. And you know, I need that at those times, because most of the world backs off thinking "Good luck with That" (insert best Seinfeld impression) and is afraid of saying anything at all to me. (All but a few and you know who you are - thanks for liking me fragmented too - ((( ))) ).
I know this sounds a bit facetious, but I mean it in a serious manner (as serious as I'm capable of being right now anyway).
Your fellow SPOW,
Dinah

Dinah,
I hope you don't take this as too critical, but perhaps you are going a little overboard. I don't think Judy was talking about the type of posts you write, although she certainly can speak for herself.
I'd hate to see a whole bandwagon of everyone classifying their posts. It is hard enough to decide what board to post on. I wonder if this is part of a feeling of having to make everything all right for everyone.
If I am off the mark, well, ignore me.

I'm just a bit silly these last few days. I wouldn't write any vicious posts, so the matter wouldn't come up.
But I was serious that if Judy ever had a problem with one of my posts, I would like her to tell me.
And I was serious that my meltdowns can be upsetting to others.
So I was seriously silly.

That last post may have been a bit silly too. I don't really mean to be flippant. I'm just in a giddy mood.

Dinah - there'a nothing wrong with giddy - it beats meltdown, right?
Good to see you posting again.

Ah Dinah you remind me so much of myself. I've never read anything of yours that was remotely triggering and I'm delighted you're in a 'giddy' mood. Have fun!- judy

No you aren't off the mark. I know what I have to do to keep safe, I just have to work a little harder (even above Dr. Bob's efforts). It means a great deal to me that you all care- judy

for what it's worth-
i don't read threads that seem emotionally loaded- for one, i've got enough going on in my 3D life that i have no where else to fit it in. i also know that they can trigger me, so i just stay away. i try to keep up with things, but i also let myself be out of the loop if that means i get to be more peaceful. but i choose to provide support where i can, and accept it when it's given. this keeps me a gentler and more peaceful person. i may not know everything that's going on, and usually i don't. but the ignorance has made me peaceful. it's worth it.food for thought.

You're absolutely right terra- sometimes it's better to not know everything going on. And you were the major person I was thinking about when restricting my posting to PB2000, you have been an incredible source of comfort and education to me. I hope you're doing well? Take care, judy
