Dear Karen,<\/span><\/p>\n
I have read your book twice and realized with great attention to detail there must be more to your healing. If you can heal from multiple personality disorder you can survive most anything. I am in awe of you. I am inspired by your story enough to seek help for my own issues. I do not have MPD or DID but think I have another social type personality disorder. What do you do when you think you have a problem? I was an abused child. My grandmother who sat me would abuse me when my parents let her baby sit. I never told anyone before you including my parents. I am an only child and 27 years old. I think I started feeling sicker after my grandmother\u2019s death four months ago. I try to dissociate it but can\u2019t. \u00a0I have nightmares too. I admire you. I know you are not a doctor but who needs a doctor first.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Britanie,<\/span><\/p>\n
I can empathize with you not sharing what happened to you with others. I’ve felt that way, too. I tried my best to deal with my past on my own, and at times I thought I’d\u00a0found a sense of peace, but I was wrong. My past dark thoughts would gradually re-enter my mind leaving me feeling ill and depressed. Eventually I knew I needed to talk to someone. I do not regret seeking therapy for myself. Therapy is not a cure all, but it’s definitely a safe place to vent and share your past in hope to find understanding about how your past can affect your present and future. There is no need to suffer alone.<\/span><\/p>\n
I am not a therapist and can’t give advice, but in my opinion your grandmother’s passing may have triggered what you have tried to keep secret. That’s what happened to me. Memories of my past abuse and alter chaos were triggered after the traumatic birth of my daughter. I believe once something is triggered, there’s no way to forget it. What you are experiencing may be problematic until you deal with it. Knowledge will bring understanding and a sense of calm.<\/span><\/p>\n
Wishing you all my best as you journey through your own healing.<\/span><\/p>\n
