    Emptiness After "integrating" A Split

    It's probably sad and strange, but I hope so! I feel lost without her!:cry:

    Emptiness After "integrating" A Split

    This is kind of how I feel. This is supposed to be a healing process but I feel worse. I do think I need to ask my T to slow down. And you all are right, I need to work on developing healthy coping skills before mine are taken away. This is so foreign and unexpected for me. I have a lot of...

    Family :(

    Your post was very powerful for me. Wow. You did it! And to still feel solid in your choice after losing your mom speaks volumes to me. Thank you for sharing that. I hope I can get there one day soon. @BoN-bOn, I hope this encouraged you, as well. We can do this!

    Emptiness After "integrating" A Split

    I feel like I'm so far out of my depth with this stuff. I never would have imagined that I had splits, but I've discovered that I do. It's not DID and I don't really lose time, but they are definitely separate splits. I've been working with my T on identifying them and their distinct roles and...

    Family :(

    I know how you feel. I'm in a situation where cutting them out of my life would probably be the best thing for my recovery. But my parents are getting older and I don't know if I could live with the guilt if something were to happen to them. My family is very enmeshed, live in the same small...

    Not Surviving Holiday Well

    I so understand how you feel. Don't you just want to scream in his face, "Everything is not normal! Stop trying to act like you didn't do sick, perverted things to me!"? The pretense makes me feel crazy! I'm sorry you've been there, but it's nice someone understands!

    Not Surviving Holiday Well

    That was a panic attack talking. I'm a social worker and am all too aware of the shortcomings of the ER when it comes to mental health care. I did go get stitched up but did not mention the panic attack or that the injury was self-inflicted. I did get a few vicodin so that will help for part of...

    Not Surviving Holiday Well

    I'm not doing well right now. I had to sit across the table from my abuser (father) and stand there when he hugged and kissed me. My only ally, my sister, was pissed at me and wasn't speaking to me. That was yesterday. I got home and cut. It has always worked well to calm me. I kept cutting and...

    That is a great idea! I'll try it!

    Thanksgiving dread

    Great ideas. Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. That's awesome! But you have to do some distasteful things for your children, to give them some semblance of a normal family. So I will suck it up and do whatever I have to in order to get through, while praying for a kidney stone!:dead: Happy...

    Thanksgiving dread

    I detest this time of year. Have always hated it. More recently, someone I was very close to was very ill, needed constant care, then passed away the day before Thanksgiving nine years ago. Plus, family gatherings have always been stressful. But this year I don't have my coping mechanism of...

    Other Looking for book recommendations on torture recovery

    Wow! I'm so impressed with your never-say-die attitude. And you are right, with God all things ARE possible! I believe 100% that you can and WILL recover. Attitude is at least half the battle, and you've got this!;)

    Sexual Assault Confused If I Was Raped

    You have 96 hours after a rape for a rape kit to be able to gather viable DNA. If there was vaginal trauma, scarring could be detected, but likely would be difficult to prove it was from a particular person. Any witnesses that could verify? At this point, you have what you can remember and can...

    Struggling To Believe My Father Did This

    I restarted therapy about six months ago. My T is amazing and is helping a lot. I don't know where I would be right now without her...probably dead. But there are some questions she just can't answer and I'm so grateful to have found this site.
