Why did you choose the forum name you use?

[Changing4Best]

It just came to me in a flash, I don't know what inspired me to think of it. I asked myself what name I wanted to use now, and there it was in a split second.

What made you decide to change?

@stp2012 - I've been thinking of doing it for awhile. I feel I've changed, so I wanted something that reflected that.

I feel the same way...the name I chose actually suggests ptsd - although it has nothing to do with that. I'm just used to it now and really, I never considered changing it. People know me by this name.

Did you find it at all strange to get used to a new name as well as those who follow You?

 

[Changing4Best]

It's been only a few hours, so no, I am not yet used to it. I figure that might take a week or so! LOL...

 

[Deleted member 34328]

Lol... I'm curious to find out how it's received.

@stp2012 - Maybe if it matches your personality more, people will just catch on!

 

[Still Standing]

I like the name SpiritSong. It has a sense of delight and of course, spirituality.

 

[Ronin]

The current one was a reminder to part ways if loyalty isn't serving & just hurts me.
The past one was a reminder of someone who went by that name.
The first one was a pun on a herb, a reminder of Jamaica and a few very dear to me.

There's a relations-and-trust theme, there.

Nobody has said a word yet. Maybe no one even noticed ;).

 

[Chiqui]

My father's friends and unties used to call me Chiqui went I was very small. It brings tenderness within and how important is for me. A fighting tool against disheartening.

 

[Abstract]

When I joined I was starting to come to terms with and understand the level of dissociation and depersonalisation as well as inner disconnectedness I had suffered for most of my life. The reality that I didn't feel like a human being or something with a real physical or emotional self. I was rather an unformed thing. I felt like an abstract version of who or what I was supposed to be in an abstract version of the world I was supposedly living in. With supposed ideas about what may have happened to me. There is also a creative slightly quirky side of me which I haven't always let out and this hints at it too. I don't want to be constrained within something compressing and ordered. But compress and attempt to order myself.

Its my 7th year anniversary of joining the site today and doing this post has really brought home how much I have changed. Giving this much away about myself would never have been possible and if I somehow managed to do so with a fraction of this I would have suffered horrible backlash and scary fallout.
