Well I accidentally wandered here after checking to see if the "Health" meta tag linked back to
>>>/ebola/ (my usual stomping grounds).
As a self-diagnosed schizoid, I'm struggling to comprehend
why you would want to increase the userbase. I've read one fascinating article on the subject but I'm damned if I can remember where. Sorry, but the gist of it was that while the prevailing theory of abuse or neglect causing the eventual schism, an overabundance of libidinal input would also lead to the ego walling itself off from the outside world.
I suppose one could characterize that as abuse but in my case it was a combination of a pronounced empathic ability (since beaten into submission by yours truly) and large social network who
of course interprets any attempt to withdraw as a sign indicating immediate intervention, thus creating an even greater need to withdraw.
With regards this forum, we've made our beds, we should probably sleep in them. I'm sure you've noticed the literature frequently refers to treatment as being traumatic to the point of causing suicide. When step #1 is, "throw away your personality, infantilize yourself and hope things work out in round #2," remaining broken doesn't seem so bad.
