This was hard. Today was very hard. Thank you for the support @NatBird !
Can't sleep. Couldn't sleep much last night either. It tends to happen when my guy isn't here.
I need to go out in the morning. Yesterday I was supposed to go to yoga. I didn't get to yoga.
I'm pretty zombie ATM. At the mo mo mo
Dealing with baby rape. Being raped as a baby. Pre verbal rape. Makes too much sense that it happened. My feelings of it today were powerful, very, very crushing, very immobalizing, very stultifying, demoralizing, excruciating, it dissociated me for so much of my early life, my whole life, it zombied-me, nullified me, stole my will, my light, my childhood, my "virtue" - virginity, it's true, I need to be FREE of this oppression, he stole my ability to LIVE, but I've AMAZED myself, dazed myself, crazed myself, uplifted myself, found reasons to push through, be true endure, fight for my light, my life, I'm full of grief, I need some relief, this uphill battle is steep, but I'll reap my rewards, I'll swim fjords if I have to, I remain true to myself, I'll no longer back-shelf this pain, I've so much to gain, reclaim my throne, my own way, I've grown SO MUCH, my spirit is HUGE, my heart IS BIG, the waves of love and compassion keep growing, I owe it to myself now, to be knowing MYSELF, LOVING myself, I don't need the hate, it's overrated, but I've been baited, groomed, penetrated, infiltrated, mistreated SO BADLY, it took SO LONG to get out from under that yoke, choked me he did, one rapist, I've been poked, stroked, I've been strangled, my vagina was mangled as a tiny person, I've been beaten down, down to the ground, ground down, impregnated, I've gestated, been frustrated TOO MUCH, negated, neglected, heckled, had my hackles up, my defences down, but now their up, I need to pick myself UP, I'm a FIGHTER, a LIGHTER of ways, a brave lady, a sage poet, a traveller on the HIGH way of life, singer of songs, I'm STRONG, I'm not beat, I DEFEAT, I claim VICTORY, FREEDOM for ME, they didn't kill me, even if they filled me with seed, shame blame, hate, rape for myself, I blamed myself but it's not too late, now I get to see the GREATNESS of ME, I AM FREE in my SPIRIT and LOVE, I RISE ABOVE, but my body is not free, yet, of pain but it's LOVED, one day I'll be free of it, for now I use it TO LOVE my family, this planetary being needs me to be me, I SEE my way through. I remain TRUE because I LOVE YOU - Self
 
Crying for your tiny self.
And standing with you. Setting quietly with you. I HEAR you.
And you ARE all...
Crying too. Thank you! @ladee & @Rain

I feel very welcomed and nurtured into this community and for me THAT IS HUGE. A really big deal.
I've become quite a myptsd addict at present, but I don't think this is as bad an addiction as some that I've already given up.

I really look forward to sharing my getting- help journey. The therapy that starts tomorrow. The getting into the inpatients program that @Ragdoll Circus told me about, and learning how to THRIVE and be met where my needs are. I have had to be very strong to get to here but this year I've run out of puff for doing it so hard.

I know I need more help, more community, more understanding, and it's HAPPENING here and more is coming! I am excited! And not-very-well-at-all at the same time.

But I've been learning to hug tiny scared me and hurting young-mama me and I have my own back and so it's getting reflected out in the world to. Not like before. The pain lessens or maybe I'm just getting used to it and changing my relationship with it. I'm taking more pride in myself, that I'm worth more than to be treated crappily and used, abused, lied to and manipulated or baited as this horrid disordered neighbor and my mum and ex used to do all the time. It hurts and infuriates at the moment. My lovely friend is away. I spoke to him yesterday. He was very down. I'm not sleeping much at all at night or really doing hardly anything but be a big mess right now. Thank you friends ! :-)
 
Thank you @ladee :-) i saw my new T today. It was very nurturing. She held the space for me to hold myself. She is happy to support me and facilitate me getting into the trauma&dissociation inpatients program. I am seeing my new Dr on Friday and asking him to sign my referral to Belmont hospital. My guy is back! He is wild about our neighbor harassing me. It is good to have him home.:-)
 
While I was waiting to see my new T I went to the movies. See I have to catch the 9.00 bus in to town and then.I had to wait around until 3.15, so I went to see Goodbye Christopher Robin. I cried, heavily, through the entire film. See, my Daddy used to read me those books, but my mum took me away from my Dad and didn't look after me at all well. When I did see time with my dad, he would read to me, so that was pretty much the highlight and best memory I have of actually being patented. My inner child/children is very attuned to Whinnie The Pooh stories and today, I poured out lots of grief and sadness that my little inner child needed to express. I felt better for it.

I am in the movie cinema. It's wet, I have to wait in town for a street performance tonight, not sure it's going to happen with this weather though. I am spending the last of a movie voucher present from my birthday nearly a year ago. About to watch "Wonder".
I need this feel-good after the hell week I've had.
