Maybe someone who has been here a while might know. Do most people who join this forum disappear after a short time? I haven't really been on for a couple months. So far there are like no posts from anyone I recognize. Just curious.

" This sometimes happens, but what you are seeing is just newbies who have joined this site.

Everyday, it seems like we're getting more and more new people who join the group.

Sometimes people leave this site for a few months or for good, but I honestly think you are just seeing new people who have joined this site. "

" Been here over two years as well and I don't think it's so much a high turnover, but rather the "reincarnation" factor.

We can use me as an example...I wasn't on the right meds when I first came here, and caused trouble several times. After being stabilized, I felt like a new person and a new name was in order (actually my real name). I didn't want anyone associating me with the mixed episodes/dysphoric manic person from the old name.

So it's highly likely that you know quite a few people here. DS is addictive...we all come back eventually ....LOL! "

" Like Bobbi said, we all come back eventually. There are people who come and go a lot, as well as a lot of new faces popping up. "

" People come and go and sometimes they figure out that when they try to help out to much it takes a tole out on them as well because there are a lot of things that "trigger" people.

I know that I used to post a lot, but I just seen so many people coming in and would post some wild things and I couldn't tell if it was a real person or someone just messing with our heads. Maybe it's just me lol.. "
