Starting in the middle, with no sense of where I am going and little in the way of a coherent past... 2 years ago I started therapy at a rape crisis centre. 3 terrible counsellors and one breakdown later, I am now formally diagnosed with discociative identity disorder and I have found an expert psychotherapist to work with. Things are finally starting to heal, I think. This is going to be a long road. What I am going to write will probably sound crazy and unbelievable. I don't really mind if nobody ever reads it, or believes it, but I think it will help my own healing process to have som

There is no rush, just take it slowly. This is a really safe place, with lots of lovely and supportive people. But it can feel overwhelming at first.

I'm having coffee with my best friend. Despite the fact I had to practically force my mother to babysit. I DESERVE a break. -
All I wanted was love Sometimes I really hate you Sometimes I still love you Why was I so bad? What did you hurt me? I had nobody but you And you were a monster I had to save myself I split into many parts That is because of you I cut up my arms That is because of you I tried to kill myself That is because of you I hate calling you mum

Took a much needed day off work and relaxed a bit. -
Thank you fallenstar, for replying to my post. I was a bit scared nobody would reply. I never thought to ask my counsellor if I could call her.

I'm glad to have found this place. It's been hard, carrying it all. I tried to deal with it in the past but I could never really face it, so I found ways to live with it until now.
