  • My Life -- A Living Nightmare

    Thursday, May 22, 2008 | A Painful story

    Thursday, May 22, 2008 -- 7:55 PM
    I saw my psychologist yesterday. It was the first time in three weeks. We talked about what had being going on in my life during those weeks. I have a hard time accepting compliments, but she gave me one, which really meant a lot to me. She said that after all I have gone through in my lifetime, including that which I am going through now, she did not know how I...

  • I am freaking about having MPD

    Wednesday, June 11, 2008

    In the past 24 hours I have not only discovered that I have MPD but have identified three others who share my body. It has me convinced that I am crazy and apparently my doctor thinks I'm nuts too as I went to see her today because my stumps have been burning so severely that I have been forced to use my w/chair. My doctor examined ny stumps and said that that there was nothing wrong with the...

  • Thereis a war in my head

    Saturday, June 21, 2008

    I have been in a lot of pain because there seems to be  a war in my head. Things are much more chaotic than usual as Lisa seesm to be gathering strength and she is capable of really making big trouble as she will take money to have sex. Lisa almost got me us in trouble once when she was nearly arrested for prostitution and we have been tryng very hard to control her since then...

  • Unwanted Memories

    Wednesday, July 2, 2008 | A Painful story

    Wednesday, July 2, 2008 -- 11:10 A.M.
    Last night, I went to bed and thought that I would get a good night’s sleep. It did not turn out that way. About three o’clock, I suddenly awoke to the sound of people outside my apartment door. I became scared, but tried some deep breathing, which helped me to relax.
    An hour or so later, I dreamed that there were men in my bedroom who were sexu...

  • An Open Letter

    Friday, July 11, 2008

    Things haven't gone very well for the past month or so.  My ex is lingering with renal cancer and my youngest son is still in Texas with him and his step-mother.
    I've had my ups and downs dealing with this on top of everything else and right now, I'm just a bit sad.  You don't live with another person for 22 years and flip off the feelings like a light switch. 
    Today...

  • Truth vs. Lie

    Saturday, November 22, 2008 | A Painful story

    Truth:  I am up again at 3 a.m. unable to sleep.  I remember that night telling myself that I was strong.  Well, when someone I knew told me that I am a strong person, it made me feel good.  I didn't feel strong the night of the rape despite telling him, "No!" multiple times, and him not respecting me as well as drugging me.
    Lie:  He kept manipulating me to g...

  • Hurt, Angry, and Betrayed

    Tuesday, March 10, 2009 | A Painful story

    Tuesday, March 10, 2009 - 10:25 AM 
    I went to another counseling session with my brother yesterday. The results were definitely not good, and I am not sure whether I really want to continue with this.
    In addition to my brother and me, my therapist, Dale, and psychologist, Dr. Martin, were also there.
    For almost an hour, we seemed to be getting along well, and making some progress. My broth...

  • Possible Carpal Tunnel

    Friday, June 12, 2009 | A Painful story

    I have been having pain in my hand for over a year now, and finally I told my doctor that I can not take it anymore. I am wearing a brace, and my back is hurt from work too. My doctor worked with my hands and was concerned. I go back today, and it hurts worse, they both do. Anyways, he said that he will take the next step today. I  wonder what it will be.

  • Feeling Hurt and Betrayed

    Saturday, June 27, 2009 | A Painful story

    Saturday, June 27, 2009 - 9:50 AM
    Nothing seems to be going quite right this week. It has been difficult for me to sleep at night, and when this happens, it seems to throw the whole following day out of whack.
    This morning was a continuation of the whole lousy week. One of my CNA's who I trust the most, informed me that she was going to quit working with me one hour in the mornings and one ...
