Title: The journey onward
Post by: confident on March 03, 2015, 06:17:00 PM
Hi everyone -

My absence in the forum the past couple months can be easily accounted for. I returned to counseling and, as I started to suspect this past fall, my diagnosis is a little different than I first thought.  I am in the process of confirming with my counselor that dissociative identity disorder is the primary issue that needs to be addressed. 

It's been a very tumultuous 2015 for me. I'm trying to accept this reality, but... it's distressing.

I won't go into the depth of my symptoms and struggles, as they don't pertain to C-PTSD as much, though I welcome encouragement and prayers as I begin a very long journey toward healing. Depression and anxiety have dragged me down a pit and I'm losing motivation to do things I love, as well as things I need to do.

I'm in tears grateful for the support that online communities - this one in particular - have had in getting me closer to the root of my pain.

Love to all of you.
