We have several systems that blog regularly, and literally hundreds of blog entries on the daily lives, thoughts, and struggles of those living with dissociation. Writing can be therapeutic. Any member of the site can blog from their profile. Those blogs are also aggregated into the Member Blogs section.
The Electric Circus’ blog is where this site began. It’s now over three years old. T-E-C does not claim to be experts or a representation of all DID systems – we’re just ourselves. Feel free to follow our journey of failed fusion and cat hats.
Looking for Community?
Want to meet others who understand? Check out DissociaBook, or come hang out on Discord with us! We have video meetups on the first Sunday of the month, and now that we’ve gone multilingual, we’ve also revived some old forums.
We know living with dissociation can be confusing, isolating, and scary, especially early on in the process. The cafe community is here for you. Learn from us, laugh with us, and cry with us. The cafe stands with you.
Legal adults with any dissociative disorder are welcome here, as are their allies. Sign up now – all it takes is a working email address and a nickname! We won’t share your email with anyone.
