Again, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make trouble for anyone.
And Muffled, I think I understand better now that it isn't disrepectful for you to call them peeps. Thank you. That was what was upsetting to me, since respect is a big issue with me. But I see better now that it isn't meant disrespectfully or glibly when you say it.
Respect isn't something that is easy to come by in the circumstances, you know? So often (and I'm not talking about here, but with the "experts") it's either a lot of drama or a lot of mocking and disbelief. And rarely quiet dignity. That's why I love my therapist for being so calm and matter of fact.
And I guess it's why I continue to see him even when I'm doing well. Right now I wouldn't even say I have a dissociative "disorder" because it really doesn't cause me distress. But were I to no longer have my therapist, I can see where it could become a problem again.
