Of and on I have been posting things here, and on other biid fora and platforms. It seams hard though to keep a lasting connection and keep the conversation flowing. I have some online contacts with people with biid or related (devotee) and frequently have mail/chat contact with them. But really to built a stronger community is what I think would really help our lonely roads. For this I think there are many possible strategies,
I think to really feel accepted these contacts are very important. But even more effective than online contacts would be real contacts. We will have to keep things save by meeting in public places like a a coffee shop or library, and slowly take it from there.
Since our "disorder" seems to be so rare, we can not expect to have the luxury of finding like minded people around the corner. So I could imagine, as a goal on the horizon, to have a community of people worldwide. People who would be open and excepting of biid and the related issues (devotee, pretending). Maybe even setting up an international Biid foundation, to help the community building, organize meetings and share and collect relevant information of research and treatments.
As a start it would be good to have a general understanding where everybody lives. I will open a separate post for that. But first of all what do you guys think of this?
Hi all,
Posted the same message on the yahoo group: fighting it. Here people have started telling their location and somebody started a file to get a database going.
As for a Biid foundation I am still thinking about how to structure it.. Any ideas are welcome.
All for people with Biid connecting more, the more of us that come forward the more it would start to be recognized. I would have thought by now it would be more understood by doctors and not swept under the rug.
Excellent idea thats you have to want to develop the biid community (wannabe and openmind biid)
I think a lot of people will say (like me) : i'm not alone.
I always though thats its so difficult to share our experience, and talk about our feeling
Where have i to sign up
Second in france, not so far from swiss ant italy border

I will be in Zurich at the end of January 2022 to participate in a Biid study. I am also traveling through Germany and will be staying in Frankfurt for a while.
In this way I want to see if it is possible to meet someone who also suffers from Biid and who lives in that area. The purpose of this is to exchange experiences and simply have a pleasant meeting.
I myself come from the Netherlands, my age is early 40, and I have been living with Biid all my life. My German language is very basic, but I speak fluent English.
