| Personal Statement: |
I have worked in the mental health field more than 20 years and have been in psychotherapy for more than 20 years (including a five year break) with the same therapist for treatment of Dysthymia, Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Eating Disorder NOS. I currently have the diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder due memories that were repressed for more than 35 years which include neglect, physical, emotional and sadistic/cult sexual abuse. I've also struggled with self-injury, suicidal ideation and issues with my body/weight since I can remember. My first memory of having a suicidal thought was when I was two. I've been a Christian since 1981, which has saved my life. My journey has led me to this anonymous place where I can tell the truth about my life via journal entries from the past. It includes information regarding my diagnosis and feelings, thoughts & behavior that I struggle with day to day and in therapy. I hope you read my blog and it will be as helpful to you as it is to me. |
