Sufferer Hi...

[Kareena Angel]

Just found this forum... LOL! I was at work last night and in a lot of pain and lonliness as usual and decided to google "dissociation" as I had just tried to explain it to a friend at work. Both my brother and I have it and I never knew what it was.

I have been sober for 17 years and still feel lonely, depressed, empty and sad. My two sisters are not much help as I think they are more screwed up than I am. My brother and I seem to connect for awhile and then he leaves my life again.

So, I started going to Adult Children of Alcoholics a month or two ago and discovered it was about me and aslo discovered that I had PTSD and that I dissociate.

At times I feel hopeful and that maybe I will get better and my life will get better but most of the time I feel like I just wish I could just die. I have tried so many things and nothing seems to make it go away.

So, I am hoping to find something in this forum that wil help and change my life for the better.

Nice to be here and I would be happy to chat with anyone.

Much Love to All...

Hi and welcome to the forum. I am glad you found ACA. I went to that for a year and it helped me so much. I have also recieved so much help, support, encouragement, hope, and comfort here. Wonderful people who have been there also understand. My healing has speeded up. I wish you the best. It is nice to meet you.

Oh Thanks, you are so sweet! That is so kind of you! I really appreciate what you shared and told me! Knowing it (this and ACA) has helped someone else makes all the difference in the world!

I found this page on my cell phone last night and I can't seem to find it here again... It is "Symptoms and Other Disorders"..."Dissociation Explained"... maybe those are thread titles?

I'm really really new to the whole forum thing too... well actually years and years ago, I did a little bit on a computer techie forum, but now I am totally lost again!

Also, by the way, how do you get rid of those annoying boxes that keep popping up? Do you have to upgrade to a premium membership.

K, bye for now! Looking forward to getting to know you better and also others too! Much Love!

As for the boxes popping up, I do not know what they are. Go to the help desk forum and ask them. They will be able to help you.

I think take your time getting familiar with the different forums. There is alot of good information to read here. Good luck on the pop up boxes.

Welcome to the forum Kareena Angel.

I think I know what boxes you're talking about - there's a like one about being able to change your username, and a few others about other various forum things? Try clicking the link underlined in small white writing at the bottom.. I think it says something to the effect of "do not show" or "disable pop-up"? Maybe that will help. :-)

Anyway, I'm sorry for what has brought you here but I'm glad that you are finding support both in your support group and in this forum. All the best wishes to you.

Hi and welcome Kareena.

There is a search function in the top right corner to help you find threads on dissociation. You can search by particular sub- forums or the forum as a whole. Good luck!

Oh, thank you. Anthony was kind enough to reply but I made a mistake by using the contact form instead of going to the help desk forum. There is a small notification on the right of the boxes that will close them. Clicking on the Xs only closes them until the next page opens. So, problem solved! Thanks!

Hi! Anthony replied to my post and told me to do exactly what you just did. I saw his post first, so thanks for the info and trying to help. I am glad to be here and I think this forum is great! I feel less alone just knowing something like this exists!
