After years of childhood trauma. I've been diagnosed with CPTSD, Dissociative Identity Disorder, and Bipolar. (Physical, emotional,and sexual abuse) As an adult I drank to much and was sexually assaulted, and raped. Then 11 yrs ago I have someone I love medication and he killed himself. I drank more and gained over 100lbs. Then 7 yrs ago I took a bunch of 12 and 13 yr. Olds swimming and one drowned. I lost it after that. Had several surgeries I don't really remember. In fact I was remembering less and less. It affected my job, my life, and eventually had me contemplating suicide. I am working with a psychiatrist once a month and a psychologist 2x a week. I am looking at SSDI to have some financial support while I work on getting better. It's been a hard life, but I am fighting to get better. Thank you for listening to part of my story. Their is so much more, but Anyone else face similar trauma? Anyone file for SSDI before? It's very overwhelming. I've been working since I was 13yrs old. I'm 42 now. It feels like I'm giving up on being normal. My Dr. Says I won't ever be completely "normal" I will however be better. I just want to be a better me. Any comments are appreciated.
