Who We Are
The cafe is run and funded by The Electric Circus (T-E-C). We are assisted by braidid (wiki editor), Anomalous (discord moderator), and erikajeankruger (wiki editor & discord moderator). All of us are dissociative systems. If you’re wondering what a system is, check out the Dissociative Dictionary.
Who We’re Not
We are not mental health professionals. We can’t diagnose or treat you. If you are in a crisis, please try one of the hotlines listed in the wiki or call your local emergency services.
Why We’re HereÂ
We’re here to create an inclusive, welcoming, supportive community of dissociative adults and their allies. We believe we can support and learn from each other in ways that people who don’t deal with these disorders can. Sometimes, that means talking about difficult topics. Sometimes, it means relaxing and enjoying the company of others who just understand what it’s like.Â
The cafe is open to all dissociative adults, questioning or professionally diagnosed. While the content may skew toward the DID & OSDD end of the spectrum due to our own lived experiences, the site is intended to be a place for everyone who deals with a dissociative disorder, DID or not.Â
What We Charge
Nothing. Â
We thought briefly about taking donations but have decided not to. We don’t want your money; we want something much more valuable – your time. Come hang out with us, post funny memes to DissociaBook, write a blog, or volunteer to work on the wiki. We want YOU!Â
