    Worried About Being Sectioned

    I have suffered with this. My classmates would have to walk me to the train to make sure I crossed streets safely and got on the correct rail home.

    Training a service dog

    Nah, always offer a treat. It won't "uncharge" the clicker. The only way to do that is to click and offer nothing. And, yes, click and praise can work with some dogs. I would up the value of your food rewards. Frozen raw meat, for example. Fried bacon. Even forbidden foods like cake frosting (in...

    Planned Hospitalization At Sheppard Pratt

    I'm sure. I didn't expect to wake up to THOSE results that next morning. SMH. I fear 2017-2020.

    Training a service dog

    I think an hour is way too long. You need to break it up with play sessions and toys. If you're using the "nic" feature (M button) or "tap" (V button but may have to use the computer to set vibration to tapping) to interrupt him when he whines, praise and treat him when he stops. Make it a...

    Structural Dissociation

    I always thought of DID/MPD like this: There's an apple tree that produces many apples. All of those apples are a part of the tree until they fall off. (ie: birth) Then those apples can be a whole or later in their life can be further sliced. The slices don't make the apple any less of an...

    Structural Dissociation

    This makes more sense to me. I frequently have had therapists refer to... (how do I explain?)... our "body's name" (legal name) as a separate personality and we frequently have to shut them down because that "person" simply does not exist. WE are the makeup of that entire supposed person. That...

    What Is Your Subjective Units Of Distress (suds) Rating Right Now?

    Wish there was an option for "I've been a 10 for so long that now I'm simply numb and listless".

    Childhood Not Typical Physical Abuse

    It would be assault, in my opinion. It's touching without your consent.

    Childhood Trying To Understand My Orientation

    If you had read my post in full you would have seen that this has nothing to do with my personal beliefs. With that said, peace. I'm out, thread is unwatched. Religion is a major trigger for me. *please do not tag me in this thread again*

    BPD Why are people with borderline personality seen as bad people?

    I can't say that I'm not like this, though. For us it's "safe person" or "unsafe person".

    I splurged and bought myself the magnetic clip from the manufacturer on Cyber Monday! Happy Holidays to meeeeee.

    BPD Why are people with borderline personality seen as bad people?

    It's come up by unspecified family members that I may be BPD (they are in denial about family dysfunction) but every provider I see tells me it's impossible for me to be BPD so I guess that's just that. And also that it was impossible for me to be diagnosed with a personality disorder before...

    Childhood It's Never Too Late To Have A Happy Childhood...

    Especially because grown ups aren't limited by silly little things called age restrictions :D In a sense, we get to have MORE fun now as "big kids". :whistling: :roflmao:

    BPD Why are people with borderline personality seen as bad people?

    So the consensus is still that you're "born with" BPD and it's not environmentally caused?

    Training a service dog

    The tones are going to sound different between the "cheap" receiver and the Educator collar receiver. If you have any task need that requires a non-verbal cue, you could utilize the "cheap" one for that. Both receivers can fit on the same collar. You can also remove the prongs on the "cheap"...

    BPD Why are people with borderline personality seen as bad people?

    I thought I read somewhere that BPD is the same as CPTSD and that BPD is created in the person by their messed up parents/authority figures. Can someone clarify this for me? I'm confused but I swear I've seen both of these things in literature online before (literature meaning written by a...

    Internal Communication (dissociative Disorder)

    Each of my parts is differently handed. I've never purposefully tried to draw them out this way. It's just always been that some were left handed, others right handed, and others cross handed (each hand being used as strongest/dominant for different activities- a little different from being...

    Childhood Trying To Understand My Orientation

    My answer is directly to the OP and might be considered controversial to persons who didn't "grow up that way". I will be using religious terminology in the religious sense- NOT that I endorse what I'm saying. I've been through conversion therapy before- so I can assure you that NO offense is...
