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?
