The recent ban on role playing

Hi! I know this may seem as out of the blue, but after a traumatic event in my life (after whatever internal order I had between the “parts of myself” dissolved,) I turned to mental health communities for support.

Now, one problem? People often assumed I was role playing. It made sense- I switched without realizing it, and my alters would all interact with the communities I was in through the same account, while calling themselves different names / things, speaking with different mannerisms, being different ages, and occasionally telling the same story through radically different point of views- as though everyone had lived through the same, but had different opinions and remembered different parts the clearest. It was messy. And it took _months_ and a lot of luck for someone to realize I might be dealing with this pesky little thing called dissociation.

Before that happened, I was just accused of either being a troll, a liar, or an attention-seeker (and asked if I had a concussion one memorable time.) But 7 cups is meant to be a mental health resource and safe space for _everyone._ So, are there any measures that can be taken to avoid anyone falling through the cracks? To avoid those who are still clueless about what’s going on in their heads or who lack control over who fronts or end up with a fresh new alter who comes here maybe looking for help, maybe just because they’re curious, being accused of role playing?
