I've learnt through my therapist that everyone has different personalities which are different ages, so it's just a case of working out what they all think and why. Some of my personalities think I hve been abused badly, some don't care and some can remember better than others. But I can only...

Yeah he did have a terrible childhood. His mom used to cloroform him and lock him in a cupboard while she went drinking all weekend. He was taken off her when he was 5 and sent to live in care homes where he was likely sexually abused, knowing the British care system. I also have huge issues...

It sounds to me like you've been abused and bullied. You've felt out of control. I also, to this day have an imaginary world no one else can see. It's a childhood habit that hasn't gone away. I fixate on it because I feel more in control of that world than this one. It seems to me that your...

Experiencing trauma under 5 is actually worse for your brain development than if it happened when you were 10. Even if you can't remember it.

I'm in therapy for ptsd which presents itself in disassociation and voice hearing at the moment. I've made a lot of progress and have told my therapist almost everything but not this, I cant tell anyone because I feel so ashamed. When I was a younger woman I used to lie and say I had been...
