Hi everyone...to all my old friends and new friend requests and messages I haven't been able to answer yet (please forgive me).  This has been the most difficult year of my life, post my childhood torture and abuse!  Where do I begin?  I started the year very physically ill and was actually clinically dead for a couple of minutes!  I was honestly devestated when they brought me back.  I would NEVER commit suicide, but I was ready for Jesus to take me home where I would not suffer any more.  Apparently, that was not his plan.  As some of you know, I lost my job last Feb. and I haven't been able to find a job since.  I applied for disability and even used an attorney/advocate that specializes in disability applications with the SSA.  I just found out recently that I was denied.  I have been actively looking for a job and haven't received one call back.  We'll lose our house shortly.

The good, great, fantastic, life-saving news is I got through a program for DID and PTSD and it was very successful!  It is called WIIT - Women's Institute for Incorporation Therapy.  http://www.wiit.com/  It's located in Hollywood, Florida.  My husband found it for me in September after I spent a week-long stint in bed.  My parts were out all over the place and I could no longer drive without fear of disappearing.  It has been a very strange time!  One of my parts plotted to kill me  on several occassions and i got so paranoid that when my husband was traveling for his job and my daughter was at school, I woud barricade myself in  my bedroom...not to keep fearful things out, but to keep me in!  I have many stories to tell about my dissociative fuges, escapes, lost time, etc., but I'll wait to blog about that later.

This bulletin is just to say that I am much better, both physically and mentally/emotionally and to recommend the WITT program   http://www.wiit.com/  to anyone struggling with severe trauma, PTSD and/or DID.  Check out their web site.  My insurance covered it 100% and even if it didn't, my husband was willing to sell everything to get me into the program.  It was life-changing.  I have not switched since I've been back.  I still won't be on-line as much as i'd like in the immediate future, because it is imperative that I find a job, but I promise to be back more regularly whenever I can.  I've been praying for you all and send my love, Hope?

Thanks for adding me as a new friend. I am very familiar with these things in life and know how it gets. I will be praying for you and your family and wish the same for me. I hope to hear from you soon and be well in all things, most importantly, the Lord. In Christ, Trish

Hey Hope,

It is awesome to hear from you girl. I'm glad that things are working out for you. I know how hard it is to deal with these things. But yet again you have proven how strong you really are. They say that the Lors will never give us more than we can handle so just hang in there and trust in Him.

Love always,

Veronica

P.S. Don't worry about being online so much just focus on getting you life together.

So good to hear from you! I was really beginning to worry. It sounds like you've had a year much like my 2004 was. I also entered into a trauma-based program which taught me great coping skills that I still use, and my therapist at the time was a true lifesaver. I'm so sorry for what you've been through, but I'm also happy for your strength and growth.

Love Sent,
~ Joanna

PS: Is your email address still the same? LoL!
