I try to be positive and not let this stuff get to me....

But I am so frustrated... - I have put the walls up between the pieces of who I am again... sometimes I remember stuff - sometimes I don't... the hauntings of past abuses and triggers are constant

Today my kids were insisting that I watched a movie with them awhile back - I have NO recollection of it - these things happen all the time - the only way I keep up with my family stuff and my job - is thru writing myself notes - but when it comes to other pieces.... I find clothes I don't remember buying - things done I don't remember doing.....

So not fair to my children - but I am all they have.... I got them out of the abuse, but I feel so disfunctional... hate myself

That doesn't help though, this is the way I survived - disconnected when I was just too young to take what happened to me..... G-d I hate life... but I don't, I just want to have a normal life and be cared for - just for awhile - fat chance.....

and always the arguments in my head - gives me such headaches......

feeling so scattered - want an escape from the pain

Have you seen a psychiatrist?

You don't need to feel lost. I don't know how to help, but I'm sure it's out there.

My T now is a specialist in this - the goal is to unify the parts of me in such a way that I don't fall to pieces (literally) when triggered or stressed....

Medicine can't help because it effects me differently depending on what mindset I am in - For example, sometimes I need glasses - sometimes I don't.... but I can take my glasses off when I switch -

The only medicine suggested tentatively is to help sleep thus reducing stress... and hopefully counteracting the nightly flashbacks and panic...

My therapist says the only way out of the pain is straight through - accepting the parts which means accepting the pain of the past ...then I will be able to "fuse" the pieces and then I will quit having the amnesia...etc -

But I have to take it slowly or I will not be able to take it and keep functioning at my job and for my kids....so I remain SO FRUSTRATED!!!

It is so hard - terrifying - hurts and makes me want to harm myself....
