Last night we had a big storm. Lightning, thunder, hard rain. Some are scared by storms. They sooth me. Not sure why. I am sa angry. Angry that I am left with DID. Angry that I am left with all of this traima that I have to feel again. Angry that there is such evil in this world. Angry that...

Oh wait, that wasn'tto me..phew...

No... 1. I make farrr too much money to collect disability. 2. I can sustain work activities for 8 hrs which would rule out their definition of disabled... heck, if I was the examiner, i wouldvrule me out. Hahaa I'm not interested in collecting disability. I don't feel lije I am disabled...

If you are going by social security, you have to get determined first.. then sometimes, people try to work, and you are allowed to make a certain amount of money, before they will stop your benefits and deem you not disabled any longer.

I hate that this happened to you. I understand the ferling in that I had a sister who used me to please various boyfriends who wanted to see sisters together, and her husband as well.. this went on from age 6 on... so, you made it through, keep going despite what he did. It wasn't your fault!

I used to be a disability examiner for the health dept for social security... so... super hard to be determined disabled under ssa's definition. You have to prove, based on age, ability to transfer skills and learn new skills, past work done, and education level that despite all of that, there...

Today, as I sit and remember my therapy session today, I can't help but feel defeated on some level. I survived. I know. There are powerful people in this world however, who literally hunted little girls. I was one who got away for several reasons. Not necessarily because I was faster. Not...

I don't .

It took me a long time to accept, or just stop fighting it. It is harder on some days than others, but, the bigger issue is the trauma you have suffered. I don't tell people, they don't really need to know. I just work on the traumas to heal. Healing is the most important thing. The rest, that...

Brain mapping is not a scan, however would not give a diagnosis. It is usually used for treatment. Does a label mean something? It does help in terms of whether or not medications are needed, and yes, your therapist should be able to assist in that aspect. Brain mapping however helps in...

If you are too messed up to care about you, then you ARE part of the problem and are NO HELP to him. Sorry, but that is the truth. Both of you need to seek serious mental health treatment immediately. Stay safe.

You either, 1. Decide that you are going to have him seen/evaluated/stabilized against his will.. with a court order.. in fl it is called a baker act, md it is an emergency petition, etc because he needs help that you cannot give Or 2. You tell him that you love/care for him, and want him to...

This is emotional blackmail, i.e. abuse.

Then he needs to be what we call in Florida baker acted, i.e. evaluated and held against his will for stabilization.. made to get help. The bottom line is, if he wants to die, he is going to die. What he is doing, however, to you is abusive. By sharing that with you, leaving you with that...

Although I agree with everyone here, you are not his therapist or psychiatrist. Even if you are licenced, it would be unethical to treat him. If he has a plan, or, says that he is suicidal, given his history, you have to allow professionals handle it. If you don't, and he is successful...

You cannot stop a truly suicidal person from completing their mission if they want to complete it. You can show them love and support, let them know that you are there for them, but, if you believe that ge is truly suicidal, has a plan, can carry it out, you can call 911 andd send police to pick...

Thank you one step at a time. Yes, I know when one is coming.. I don't quite have the ability yet to stop it, or necessarily start it.. sometimes I can stop it and put it in my box until therapy, but sometimes I cannot or cannot make it present. That is hard because I cannot sleep when it's...

Other =ritual abuse

Thank you guys.. baby turtle steps.. it's an exhausying journey. It's been a year now, but decades of abuse isn't going to be solved in a year of weekly appointments.. perspective, I suppose. One year ago I didn't know what was wrong, or that anything was.. that I had been involved in a...

You should go to your Dr and let them know.. they usually start low and work up to higher doses as needed...

Thank you Intrepid. I am not sure how to do any of this sometimes. Just when I think I have it beat, nope.. another round starts. I want to love me. I want to know what it's like to love myself. I never have. There were so many who made that impossible. Who told me that I was unloved and...

With every new memory, I just want them to stop, to go away. It's like, ok, I get it already, horriblethings happened, a LOT of horrible things, for A LOOONG time. People I knew, didn't know, and some I really should have been able to trust, did some of it.. got it. Can't we just move on...

Honestly, pretending only gets you so far and cheats your partner. Take care of you no matter what you decide.

Stay strong.

I get it.. but reach out... yry really hard to get the box working;it'sa life saver. As for normal, I've learned this IS YOUR normal, and that's ok, because, in the scheme of things, what is normal anyway? It could be much worse... stay strong.
