I lost more than time because Dissociation…I lost opportunity. I lost my joy. I lost chances to make a change. I lost people who mattered.. this isn’t about attention or “being cool and trendy as a multiple.”

Dissociation has taken away a big part of my life. As minutes, hours, days, and years erased by dissociative amnesia… And it was because it was too difficult to handle…and it wasn’t a choice….but now I lost chances I had.

This isn’t about having fun or getting attention. This is survival. But the skills we needed in order to survive trauma when we were helpless can become a disorder when you finally are big enough to do something but your brain doesn’t know you are…

I HAVE healed and gained more control. But often new trauma occurs in to bring back “old skills.” I don’t give up when I fall back, I just get up and push myself forward.

  1. Hi. Thank you so much for spreading information and experiences relating to dissociation. I believe this is a very important – and yet neglected – topic within mental health. Many people who struggle with dissociative problems are misunderstood, even within the specialist mental health services that are supposed to provide help. Wish you all the best!
