@hopeful33250 Thanks Teresa. I’m feeling better about myself because I finally said, I’m not going to take it anymore. In that process, I’ve begun to really tell myself who I am. Yay 😀

I’ve learned so much reading the posts in connect. It’s a bit scary but I’m ready to investigate further.

I recently realized how naturally I blend and bend to appease and please. For a person with many talents, I’ve let myself down-a consequence of of my need to please and shun attention. At the same time I sought approval and put myself into situations that weren’t appropriate for me personally. It’s been my lifelong cross. Must be I mistook me for another.

So I’ll look into DID with great interest and hope to keep on learning. I sure appreciate your interest, Teresa. I’d like to stay in touch and discuss further what I learn and with that knowledge, advice on what next steps may be. Best always. Suzanne

Suzanne, this entire message warms the cockles of my heart! Not sure anatomically where they’re located but they’re responsible for the feeling of warm fuzzies when something good happens! 😀

Watching you through this period of self discovery has been so rewarding. I’m so happy you reached out on Connect. By doing so, you found that you’re not alone in your thoughts of insecurity and personal failures (in your head only), that you can rise above your past which had you living with some regrets and a diminished view of yourself. With the introspection you’ve gone through, you’re ready to take on the challenge of personal growth, with a flourish! ☺️

These shared experiences help us all grow when we can identify parts of ourselves in someone else’s journey to see that we’re not flying solo!

Aww I just saw the picture of Ellie!! What a sweet little doggo! She’s a lucky girl. Dogs bring so much enjoyment to our days. (Ok, all pets. ☺️)
