hi JAMS
you can speak freely here, but it may be a little while before you get responses, this group isn't especially active at the moment

Thanks Kevin
Do you know of a place that is more active?

sorry JAMS, i personally don't know of any other sites where multiples can be safe, but other members might. Would you like to start another post asking members if they know of / use any other sites? Check back occasionally, and every so often I'll bump it up to the top so it stays current

The previous version of this site seemed to work much better and was way more active. I get frustrated because when I want to talk I have to wait so long for a response. But I'm just as much to blame, I sometimes go months without checking in. Too bad there isn't some sort of texting feature here.

Hi Ambiance. I like you I will check every day and we can talk if you like. I want to have real conversations with others like me. We/I don't have anyone we trust to talk to. How did you know you were real ? I didn't really understand what was going on at first I thought I w as talking to myself at first till I started writing and others staryed writing back . Well Pea wrote first to be fair and then M&M or Ema then I kind of knew there were more then alot of us staryed writing and all of a sudden I understood we ate many I used smoking cigarettes and making snacks and playing triggerung music to get the others into a sort of family and be able to communicate and April and me were the first "friends" then summer started being friends with April new we are all together I love them so much I'm not all alone with just K anymore he would write to me at first but he kept going into a deep sleep and kind of left me all alone but Summer would wander "close" somtimes before April and I even could talk. I say wander because she was really in LA LA land at first. I can't explain C. Very well She is huge when she chooses to be . I mean HUGE almost overwelming scary big .But she is never mean she knows so much we don't know and is kind of a watcher if that makes any sense at all she talks to family I don't know but won't say who or why. I don't know any if our ages ( I've read that other multiples hage ages that are different) But some are younger than me I don't feel 48 but I don't kniw how old I am mabey 25 feels right but I just don't know. Any way if any of that sounds familiar I'd appreciate your opinions or even just talking would be nice. I'd like to know how you found out your multiple but it's ok if you just want to talk.
Love Bee and C.( April and Summer are here but being contentedly quiet for what ever reason ) C sends hugs.

DS used to to have a chat feature but admin disappeared it quite a while before they changed the site. Pretty much everyone was disappointed and missed it. It would be good if they reintroduced it again. Another feature I think they had was email notifications of messaging responses - though I'm nit entirely sure of this cos my memory is poor. This was good because you got the emails fairly quickly and could kind of have a conversation

New here and we would love to have a chat room type thing or at least be able to message. Is there a similar Facebook group or we could set up a group chat message thru FB messenger or Google Hangouts? Never used that but i wouldn't mind creating a new FB profile for my alters and i to use for chat purposes thru messenger :)

There is a Facebook page for exactly what you are asking about but it's public. So I don't use it but mabey someday I might do as you are thinking make a new profile. We are so excited to talk. OK bye !

If we set up a chat group somewhere would you guys be interested in joining?

I would definitely be interested in a chat group! I have so many struggles and questions, even 4 years after my diagnosis.

when DS closed the chat feature a number of us moved to Skype and Google Hangouts etc but it was still one on one chat just like the DS chat. Now most of them have group chats. Google was often the preferred one because it was easy to remain anonymous, we only had to create a new gmail account. Skype had group chats but I think you needed a phone number with it? Same with WhatsApp. I think Telegram is like Hangouts in that it is easier to remain anonymous (and safe?) - and it's encryptions etc is stronger than hangouts? Back then, to use Messenger i think you were required to have an active FaceBook account linked to it? I kinda doubt setting up a closed group page on FB is quite as safe, but i may be wrong? And setting up the various restricted access parameters for FB is a tad complicated for some people? But i definitely think it a good idea fr members to have access to secure chat, both one on one and group. Sometimes there's too much lag using DS Messages.

I have a D.I.D. Facebook page that I would be fine making private or secret, as of now myself and one of my Alters are there but that's it. I have been looking for a place like this for a while and I found this last night funny thing was that when I went to sign up it said I was already a member and I even had posts with replies... Lol I lose a lot of time and my memory is terrible so I had completely forgotten about it. The Facebook page is called D.I.D.and me and I would really like to establish something for people like us to be able to have more interaction with others and am willing to collaborate with new people to make that happen so let me know what you all think and let's see what we can do about it.

We have a journal to communicate and it's the only way we can talk to each other although I can "feel/hear" the others when they are really agitated but not really it's more of a feeling of pressure more than anything I just seem to "know" they are agitated but I can't hear them speak or talk to them and when I'm in there is nothing it's like I'm asleep I don't hear, see, feel, smell anything I'm just in and gone. How does that work for you? My doc and I are trying to integrate all of us but that is seemingly a very long process. Is this something you've learned to do or is it just the way it is for you?
