Working with DID & Endometriosis

I was diagnosed with DID in the 1980s and in 1992 was blessed with the gift of integration after much difficult work with a therapist. I have a great number of health issues as well, and find that is is very difficult to be treated as an intelligent adult because of the combination of the two issues. I never got a great deal of help from groups, I found friends, my docs and the Lord were the only road which led to recovery for me. I am still in therapy, and will be for the rest of my life for there are always those unexpected triggers and memories that I need help in dealing with. Life in general is rather difficult, I have an ileostomy which leaks, and fibromyalgia which keeps me in constant pain. I am learning ways to live with all of the aspects of life. DID is never easy, it can be ever so frustrating, and I just want you to know that the Lord will carry you whenever the world gets to be too much for you to handle. My prayers are with you.

Thank-you so much for your encouragement!! It is such a relief to find someone who understands! I am so thankfull that the Lord alone is the judge of our lives and we don't have to depend on man. Right now I constantly struggle with the fact that I can't get people to understand where I am at. But God is showing me that He wants to be my SOURCE. We are called to be princess's in His Palace and not beggers!! I just want that to become a reality for me!

I will definatly be praying for you too. Can you explain to me what an ileostomy is?? And the picture- is that your dog with you? Does he live in the house with you? Do you live with someone or alone?

I live alone and can barely make it financially, but I don't feel comfortable with the idea of living in with someone else.

Somehow I think there has to be a way for people that struggle with this kind of stuff to be in groups to support each other and help each other out of it. We need community & validation just like anyone else. I just don't feel like it is God's heart to continue in this the rest of our lives.

I am excited about getting to know you better!!
