Taking Care Of Myself

[Kunoichi]

Hi all,

some of you may be wondering where I have been. I decided to get some help that I needed. I was in the mental hospital for over a week and am now in intensive daily therapy monday thru friday.

I consider this a success because I am putting myself first. That has and always will be a hard thing for me. I also have stopped denying my problems and the impact that the past has had on me. That has been what I have been doing a lot since I have been out.

One of my most impacting illnesses besides C-PTSD, has been my DID. I have 26 alters now. All which have some type of mental disorder and it seems majority of my alters have ptsd as well. I will be continuing to check in here and thank you all for your support.

I have realized that with PTSD, it is so much easier to deny its impact than to start working on it. I know I'm only at the starting line but i have gotten help and am getting help. I am putting MYSELF first. For me, that is the biggest success I have had in my entire life.

Welcome back!

Glad you are getting the support you need and are looking after yourself. That can certainly be a hard one to crack.

I think when we can honestly say, that we need help.......and then go for it....That we have finally have had enough, we know that we can't do this on our own, life isn't working for us anymore, and we have to turn ourselves over to someone more capable. That takes strength.......

Be very proud of the steps that you have taken......

Wow! I'm impressed. It's challenging enough to have C-PTSD and depression. How do you manage your alters?

I am so happy that you are putting yourself first!! It takes so much strength to admit that you need help and you are sticking with it - it's good to see you back around, but even better to hear that you have been taking care of yourself.

Woohoo! It's a hard choice to make, but once you do, it's a relief, eh!

Well done Kunoichi!

Taking care of yourself first is the way to do it. if you are not good, then you can't be good for others .... keep it up!

Kunoichi..........I was wondering where you were. I'm glad you were in a safe place.

I'm sorry life has been so devastating for you............but I'm glad you are here with us.

I know the inner peace you feel because YOU sought out the help yourself. I remember when I was given the choice/advice to go in. The biggest thing for me was actually driving myself to the hospital.

I was advised that driving myself was not a good idea due to my emotional state at the time, but it was something I HAD TO DO for myself. Now I realize they were worried I would not show up LOL

Be proud of what you have done and how far you have come. It took strength to do what you have done.
