Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Yes I have and yet sometimes do experience Dissociation.  Therapy came later in life for me.  I have little or no memory of my childhood and my pre-teens and teens are sketchy.  So is my young adult life and so on.  I did complete a two year period of memory work that was very painful and toxic though of course necessary and oddly enough it was the alters, lived out most of my life, that were the catalyst for my seeking help.  As I hace been a Dissociative for so long integration would be short lived, also I asked the alters what they wanted and now we work as a team as it were with rapid telepathic communication and I am given a great deal of support, love and understanding from my husband of 37 years.  A few of my alters have PTSD and all that goes with that.  As many of us do I fell into addictions, though have been drug and alcohol free for over 30 years.  I quit at a young age.  Many of the alters communicate with me and fill me in on stuff.

I have recently moved to copyright my collection of writings which are in fact a reflection and written in poetic prose ( Judith is the alter who inspires and writes),  Have a diploma as a Natural Health Consultant (Georgie is the alter involved there.)  and so on.

Do I stuggle yet.  OH that would be a YES!

I'm thankful that I'm not alone with this illness.

Thanks.
