You Guess It, I Am New Here.

[sharpie_pen]

hey there,

I go by the name Ally or Izzy,

thought I better introduce myself before I become a lurker

and I hate to do that. so I'll jump right in.

I am 36, divorced mother of 2 preteen boys,

they are my life, and yes, at times they are all I live for.

The beginning of my abuse started when I was two,

and continued from grandfather til I was 14 when he died *spit on his grave*

my brother abused me also, though it was more like torture.

as a teen I was raped twise.

Most things I have blacked out and through learning to survive

have many individuals inside who help us carry on.

things can get hard, I'm in therapy, finally found a gem, been with her for just over a year now. Tis a miracle, as I use to do the 6th appointment dash.

I have had an ED since 14years old.

so we are a mixed bag here.

probably babbled on enough.

this site looks lovely.

Hi Sharpie

Sorry to hear what you went through. It is good you are learning to survive though. I only joined today but already I feel part of this community and I hope you will.

Stay strong...You can be proud of yourself in the fact of how you have built your life up from such a bad begining.

(((((((Hugs)))))))) <<<If thats ok.

Hi Sharpie

Welcome to the Board. Hope we can be of help while you are healing.

I too had multiple personalities. However, I was always aware of those personalities, and I called them "moods" Some were negative and some were positive. I never thought of them as helping me to survive because they kept me so confused. However when they began to come together, I realized they were all an aspect of my personality, which I am beginning to appreciate more. I don't let them argue with each other any more. Thank you for your post it helped me to appreciate myself and my personality more. Reading your post also helped me to understand my moods a little better. I don't want to ramble on either. Take care and know that you are not alone, outside of yourself.
