Welcome to stories from "The Lifetime Adventure Of God's Word To Me."
I was diagnosed with DID in October, 1995, and it was one of the most horrendous days of my life. I was terrified because I had recently been introduced to MPD, so I was in absolute denial about the validity of the diagnosis for ME!!
There was very little education about the "disorder" at that time, so I was desperate for answer about how to proceed with the healing I needed.
I needed someone I could talk to about what was happening to me, and needed to know what to DO with the diagnosis. What is the treatment for a shattered, fragmented, and dissociated identity?!
It took decades to get the answers I needed, and that is the reason I am here to update my blog today.
GodsGraceNotes.com has been through many revisions as my changing identity has been, and has often been dormant and inaccessible for years at a time. The angst of that reality is heavy, but my recovery is no longer in a dormant state, and I am very happy to begin sharing the thoughts I so desperately needed in the early days of my integration process.
Unstoppable" is a movie that is a visual representation of how I felt in the early days of becoming aware of my fragmented "selves." The story is about a runaway freight train and the critical need to gain control of the massive train that had become a danger to everyone in it's path.
The opening scenes of the story shows how the engineer lost control of the train, and the unfolding events that led to the eventual reclaiming control of the train. I found myself holding my breath through much of the story, because it felt so much like the runaway emotions that had led me to the need for hospitalization.
Whew, that's enough for now... I'll start from this point in my next post, so I invite you to keep in tough as I begin to share my recovery conversations with you. Thank you for taking the time to visit us today.
My hope is that you will find comfort, hope, encouragement, and insight as I share the adventures that were once my greatest nightmare. The lessons Jesus taught me as we have journeyed together took time to process, so I invite you to keep in touch as I share recovery journey with you.
