Open Support Chats for Adults with DID/OSDD-1 on Wednesdays, 1 PM EST
Hello everyone,
As part of the Awareness and Education on Dissociative Disorders Project, I'm happy to introduce open support chats for adults with DID/OSDD-1 on Wednesdays, 1 PM EST. In contrast to the guided discussions for adults with DID/OSDD-1 that already take place on Mondays, these chats won't be structured along specific topic wishes, but will instead allow the participants to speak freely about whatever is just going on in their lives.
You can find a schedule with all discussions of the project here. Additionally, we're looking for hosts! So if you are interested in becoming one, please fill in this form.
Thank you for all your support of the project!
Take care,
audienta

My pleasure :)
There is already a chat for DID hosted at this time. We have previously explained that we do not want our group to full under the new project which you have acknowledged that you would not do in this thread: https://www.7cups.com/forum/trauma/DissociationRelatedDisorders_2335/DIDOSDDdiscussionthread_293646/
Please stop contining to try and take over our established group. For referrence this post states that members are allowed to host discussions: https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/GroupSupportHostTrainingGuidelinesandInformation_2301/HostingRelatedReminderUpdatesTipsGuidelines_278488/
So @MyTwistedSoul and I will continue to host our group until @Kyoshi is back.
I had forgotten all about this conversation @LifeIsMyCanvas
@mytwistedsoul
The discussions you attended were guided discussions and yes, they contain questions that lead the chat. However, this Wednesday chat will stay an open discussion, which means that, apart from an introduction and a closure, there's no script at all. So it stays the way it is.
We're doing what you ask for: We make sure that you get set up with a mod, so that everything stays safe and you can keep your chat. You are still able to host and have your weekly conversation as always.
Let's give it a try on Wednesday and see how it goes. After that, we will see if there are any adjustments needed.

@audienta You edited your reply. I thought that last sentence seemed a little condescending.
@mytwistedsoul
I always add a "lastly edited on xyz" when I edit a post, so I'm not sure, which reply you mean? And I'm sorry if a sentence feels condescending to you, that certainly was not my intent. Which sentence do you mean?
@audienta The one where you made reference to still being able to have our precious chat. You can deny it and that's fine but I know what I read.
@mytwistedsoul
(I couldn't reply to your post, that's why I do it here.)
I'm sorry that I have chosen a wrong wording. Please keep in mind that English isn't my first language.
If you want to talk about it, my pms are open and you are welcome there.
@LifeIsMyCanvas
In the thread you're referring to, I said that Kyoshi was responsible. At the moment, they aren't here though so the chats aren't accompanied by a mod or a room supporter at all.
MyTwistedSoul is already planned as the host, so there won't be any big changes.
We decided to include this chat into the discussion schedule so that it's accessible to every member that would like to join it.
I know how important this chat is to you, that why I've taken a lot of time listening to the needs of all the members, and I am trying to come up with a solution that is best for everyone.
If you still have concrete concerns, please let me know. Otherwise, we'll see how it goes on Wednesday and move on from there.
@audienta
Yes we do have concerns which we have explained, you haven't listened to them at all and you are overidding our wishes.
You have inserted the requirement for a mod to be present. The trauma room is open 24hr on a sunday with no mod and if you read to post from obs that I left the link to, you will see that members are allowed to host chats. There is always a community mod on duty so we are never truely without a mod.
Kyoshi will return after their self care break to find their chat has been taken over by you. Out of respect for your fellow listener and to the regular chat members you should not be taking over. Change is a difficult issue for trauma survivors, it needs to be communicated, with time to digest, wishes of all parties need to be respected and valued. We also need time to build trust with you, otherwise everyone will clam up and not feel safe, or worse, be destabilised.
Questions: How exactly are we set up with a mod if we're the one's that contact a mod in the first place?
I'm curious as to what is considered a concrete concern?
