Hi everyone!
After 43 years of ignoring my childhood, things kind of came to a head this past October. I'll spare everyone the details, but I found my elderly mother not being cared for by my very capable but problematic father. Seeing her abuse and neglect has brought up the experiences I had growing up in that household, and I have sort of felt stuck in those memories since then.
I've got a new therapist (she is AMAZING) and am trying some new meds that I feel hopeful about. In particular, I'm very thankful that my new therapist is helping me make connections between my mind/emotions and my body. I've never been open to that type of work in the past, but I have to try something new...and I think it's helping.
I'm hoping this will be a place where I can find support as well as provide it for others.
Thanks!
