After nearly 60 years, what I thought was impossible has become my daily reality. I am free from a lifetime of hiding, lost time and FEAR. I have started this blog because I know there are many out there who struggled like me and continue to live this way believing there is no way out. I will share my story and I hope you will share yours. It is my hope and prayer that you, too, will embrace the path that is available to you. If I can do it, you can as well.

i am so happy for you. I am 57 and FREE too.
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed at 43 after a nervous breakdown and the crumbling of a 15-year marriage and the loss of custody my 3 little girls. Deep, dark depression was mine for my entire life. Memories were few, panic ruled my days, isolation and fear were my daily companions.
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed in the hospital where I spent 6 weeks on suicide watch. While there I was taught that I could "integrate" and that some of the alters would die and others would survive. Can you imagine??? I wanted no part of it. Upon my release, thanks to insurance limitations, I promptly went about my life as before...ignoring my diagnosis.
Living apart from my children was too great to bear. I turned to alcohol until I landed in another hospital. I went from job to job, spent my nights alone hiding and full of fear and "inside noise". This went on for years. I went from therapist to therapist and always ended up in the same dead end.
Little did I know what the future held for me...
