Hi,
It has been a long journey for me as I am sure it has been for most of you. I have been in and out of therapy for almost 20 years now. Just saying that makes me depressed and makes me wonder if I will ever be whole. After about 10 years with the same therapist I had to stop just as we were beginning to make a "break through" - it was awful because I had finally found someone competent who could guide me through my darkest places... her life fell apart and she could no longer continue. I went through some life changing experiences (marriage and baby) when we stopped therapy. It kept me occupied and I was coping. It is fascinating how dissociation works isn't it?
After almost 4 years without therapy I took the plunge and found a new therapist. It has been 5 or 6 sessions now and I found myself knee deep in symptoms which I am really struggling with. I am needing more support, which is why I am here. So just saying hello and hoping I can contribute in some way while reaping the benefits of a supportive community.

"The nymph Lotis fell into a drunken slumber at a feast, and Priapus seized this opportunity to advance upon her. With stealth he approached, and just before he could embrace her, Silenus's donkey alerted the party with "raucous braying". Lotis awoke and pushed Priapus away, but her only true escape was to be transformed into the lotus tree."
