<p>Go ahead. I encourage every person to share what works for them, as long as it's not something bad. Again, I have no problem adding it once enough people say that it works for them. Most of the things I added didn't come from me; they came from others on the site. It takes more than a couple of people saying something helped them for me to add it, though. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Mevve said:…</cite></p>

<p>Actually, not everyone agrees that it's a disorder, and therapy doesn't work for everyone. I didn't just put what worked for me. I only listed one thing that worked for me. You don't have to repeatedly ask me to add it. I'm watching the site, and if/when I notice that the same thing seems to be helping a bunch of people, I'll add it.

<p>I understand that if therapy didn't work for you, you may have become reserved/reticent about it. But I think we all agree that MD is a disorder, and therapy is the number 1 way to treat any phycological disorder.</p>

<p>Hi, I believe you have created this site right?</p>
<p>I just read this message you wrote about common tips about what to do with MD. I see you haven't written therapy in that list. Is there a reason for that? Do you believe therapy can help end MD?</p>
<p>I've ended MD over a year ago and therapy played a big role in that (you can read my story on this forum). Also, I've read about some other people benefiting from therapy. Perhaps you can put it in that list?</p>

<p>I showed this discussion and Eli's article to Dr. Cynthia Schupak, who researched MD, and here is what she had to say:</p>
<p>"In this article, Eli is referencing a researcher who specializes is dissociative disorders, and thus incorporates fantasizing into his/her bias...in our study, Jayne and I took pains to rule out DID in our survey. This may continue to be some people's view, but it is certainly not mine, nor that of the subjects in our study. The DSM -VI that we used had only one type of DID, and that was when people lost time and 'woke up' in other places as they had been completely out of touch with reality. All our MDers said they never were unable to virtually instantly be brought back to reality during fantasizing; so this will continue to be a point of contention. As Jayne is now working with Eli, he may have changed his view, or perhaps is looking to add the term 'dissociative' to MD in a new way. I don't buy it. "</p>
<p></p>
<p>I assume she meant the DSM-IV. She said I could quote her on this. </p>
