Hi Jim,

Do you have any idea where in the book? I would like to go back and read that as I really struggle with trust/relationship of any kind and at all levels even though my mind knows some people are kind, caring, etc.   

No worries if you don't recall - I will have a look.

Thanks for the share JRose - I quite agree.  However long it takes me - just let me.

 

BecomingMe,

Thank you for your poem and for your courage to share your story.

I can so relate to these feelings.

I really appreciate you sharing that you resonate with "The Lost Child", my story.  I welcome and accept your hug - much appreciated.

 

Such an inspiring post Blueberry. I am genuinely thrilled for you and am cheering for you!

      

Yeah I can really identify Blueberry.

I find it amazing that so many here have such clarity or presence of mind to write their story or to write clearly about what they are thinking, feeling and wanting to say.

I can't seem to do it.  I start and maybe for a couple of days do but then I go somewhere.  My mind my thoughts go somewhere - it all becomes disconnected thoughts. I have called it "mushy" brain but possibly dissociation does fit.

Often I'm not even aware when it happens. 

I would love to be able to write my story - for a few reasons - it's not the right time though and I accept that. 

My T said that patients are good at hiding it, though she didn't mean concealing deliberately. It's more that it can take the patients themselves and the therapists a long time to figure out that that is what is going on. Maybe some therapists are happy to give the diagnosis sooner than others, Idk. The first time I spoke to this T before I went inpatient last year, she asked me if I dissociated and I couldn't remember if I did or not   Once off the phone I remembered that "of course I do!! All the time!" There too, I didn't deliberately hide the information, it just wasn't present in my mind at the time, or not with those words.


Yeah that Blueberry - word for word.

 

I am just so elated for you Bermuda. That was such nice response, a supportive response for you from the prof. 

No coincidence imo that he is your professor. 

 

Im sorry San - thinking of you.

Warm, cozy, comforting blankets being sent your way to wrap yourself in.

 

Hi BrotherAughra,

A warm welcome to you. I'm glad your here. It takes a tremendous amount of courage to get that first post going. Good on you for doing it.

I can relate to your first post quite a bit.  Most of all though the all enveloping fear that you feel is where I live as well.   

This forum has been supportive, understanding and very resourceful as well.

Wishing you well on your journey.

Thinking of you also Rainydiary

 

Bermuda you have this and we have you - whole-heartedly

 

 

I feel that way all the time.

And yeah and sorry for the humor but it's not just because I'm Canadian 

Sometimes, oftentimes I really wonder about myself.

So nice to see you back Hope.
