Hi All,
Very thankful I stumbled upon this site. From the discussions here, I can easily tell how valuable it is.
In the past, I've been able to manage occasional flare-ups, but for the past few months the flashbacks/dissociation and nightmares are a daily reality.
Mental health services are pretty weak where I live, and as a result I'm not in therapy yet.
I come from a background of childhood trauma, and developed DID as a result. I was lucky to have had 6 years of therapy for it, back in the 80's. I moved thousands of miles from my ex psychiatrist, who has since retired.
It took a long while to realize that my new coping skills faltered with the addition of adult traumas. I also have new memories that have surfaced, that I previously knew nothing about.
I feel like a big mess. Yet, I hope to learn a lot by being here, learning of your stories, different healing modalities and hopefully being supportive of others whilst I go through this process.
