Healing journey is more isolating than anticipated
Tl:dr – DID is really isolating and I healing is hard, really hard
I am struggling.
I have a history of trauma and dissociation, and I’m working with a really good somatic psychologist weekly. The last couple of sessions have left parts of our system feeling really uncomfortable, taking something that has been said the wrong way, and this has left me wonky for a few days following.
The problem I have now is that, when I struggle, there’s no one in my immediate circle who understands these struggles or the confusion or pain, or any of it really.
My partner is wonderful, my friends are wonderful, my work is good, my psychologist is good. I’m just feeling isolated and like I need a week off to scream and cry and rage that any of my past was allowed to happen, but I have a life and I can’t stop to feel any of it.
Does anyone else feel like their healing journey has left them feeling more alone than before?
