You can only do what feels right for you. You will never "get over it." Those are words people like to parrot but you can move on, you can heal, you can see it differently, you will not get over it. It can, believe it or not, become a source of strength for you. You don't have to tell anyone you...

Keep on keeping on. The more you share, the easier it becomes to share. I did not tell anyone about being molested until I was in college and my roommate was my best friend from first grade on.It took me another ten years to tell anyone. Then when I was raped as a young adult, it took me 30...

I have learned the hard way that I have to take my meds to have a stable life. God gave us meds for a reason. My second husband tried to make me feel less of a Christian when I took meds but I do not do well at all without them. I praise God for them.

Just an update. I see people have looked at the message but got no responses. I have joined twinlesstwins.org but think it would be great if we could do something on here to reach out to one another. I am sure I am not the only twinless twin on this forum. Thanks for your attention to this post.

Actually no one but you can know when you are ready to handle memories. Disassociation has been my best friend since my twin died in November. Slowly now I am beginning to feel again but I still resist it. You will know when you can talk about it and do it safely. I know that disassociation is...

Oh, dear, God is not punishing you at all. We live in a fallen world where awful things happen to everyone, including good people like you. I am sorry you feel to blame but please know you are not to blame. Hang in there.

I'm a 57-year-old Christian willing to be a pen pal and I am also on facebook. I've been a Christian for many years but still find it challenging at times. I belong to the sexual abuse forums and the bipolar so if either of those bother you I would not be a good match for you. You may contact me...

There is no part of being bipolar that is easy, is there? I get sick of meds that keep me stable because I don't feel. But then if I go off, I get into the miry pit again. Then I add meds to sleep and the merry go round gets upside down. Somehow we all keep going though and that's a good thing...

I have not been on in a long time. I am bipolar/chronic depressive and a sexual assault survivor. My twin died in November and I went into disassociative state. It is hard sometimes for christians to understand bipolars. I know. I am a Chrtistian but certainly am not where I need to be. Hang in...

I would like to start a thread for twins who have lost their twin. I lost my twin Nov. 10, 2009 and find it hard to deal with since I disassociate almost everything in my life. Anyone interested?

It will undoubtedly be difficult but you can do it with support and I think you will feel stronger for it. I wish 30 years later that I had reported mine. I carry guilt for not reporting it. Hang in there and let your family and friends help you.

I am wordless to help you. I cannot even imagine your pain orJ how you deal with it but I am glad you are here. I would echo the others about church and go to one where you do not know anyone. Jesus will welcome you no matter what church it is.You could also try a group for women who are dealing...

There is no easy answer. There is no easy path. You are on a good site to get some constructive answers. Lean on the ones that help. I don't think it is as easy as saying picking up the pieces and move on. IT can take a long time to pick up those pieces. But you can do it. Please think about...

Intimacy can be very difficult for survivors even after counseling but I think you should seek counseling and if the first one isn't a good fit, find another. Courage to Heal is good. One of the best resources in my life has been T.D. Jakes nonfiction book Woman Thou Art Loosed (not to confused...

Continue to believe in yourself. Don't let them define you. I have to share with you that my father died more than a decade ago. I have never missed him==even one day. I still struggle with Father's Day (today) because people are lauding their terrific fathers. My birth mom gave me and my...

Pennsyginny again. I do not sleep well either but try to not obsess about the past while you are not sleeping. Let something else fill your mind, whether it be scripture, music, or whatever will help you.

I am glad you are getting counseling. It took me until I was 30 to do that and a good counselor can be very helpful. I know it can be freeing to you to write it down so even if you do not feel free to write it here you can do it in a journal and if you are afraid of someone seeing it, there are...
