Identity Crisis
What are your plans now?
I'm still trying to figure that out. When you're suicidal, as I was for so long, you don't make long-range plans. But I like working with people. The funny thing is, most people my age have settled down and are looking forward to retirement. I'm just thinking about registering for college. But the most important thing for me is just knowing that I'm alive and can look forward to the future.

Comment: Dear Wildboy,
I'm sorry that you were also abused as a child. I can hear your pain in your written words. It's important to receive the right diagnosis before the healing starts. In the early part of my therapeutic relationship with Dr. Baer I feared being labeled incorrectly and couldn't share my pain until I established trust. I am glad to hear you are now in therapy. I wish you well.
I have started my own blog on our website www.switchingtime.wordpress.com. You can ask me a question in the "Ask Karen" section and I will personally answer.
Have a Great Day!
