I have this overwhelming urge to introduce myself, but how do I do that? I have no face or situation to gauge reactions by. How do I, the co-dependent queen, introduce myself when I cannot make sure that I am “working” the situation? I feel like I am at a dinner party being held in a dark room while wearing ear plugs! That being said, here we go.
I am a forty two year old single woman, never married, red head, blue eyes with freckles. I am a professional in the corporate world and the main support for three parental figures. I am a daughter, sister and friend. I am a survivor of a dysfunctional alcoholic family, emotional and mental abuse, physical and sexual abuse in my twenties, depression, PTSD, the loss of my brother in Iraq, and self-harm. I am a survivor of life. My story is no worse or better than yours. It is not a contest. These are my life, challenges and truth.
I am all the above and none of the above. I am every experience in my life and none of them.
Ready to change to a new blog yet?
Mostly, I am a work in progress. I am complete in every moment. I am healing. I am learning. As we all are.
I think others will find this helpful as your story progresses. I certainly can’t wait to read more.
Thank you Alison. I am happy to have you here to share the journey.
I thought I’d send along my survivor video link to you.
The overwhelming response thus far has shown me that it has proven helpful to many, so I encourage you to pass it along or post it to others if you would like.
Thank your for what you’re doing, and thanks for watching.
Cheers,
Jamie

Yes we all are learning. You are most definitely not alone Mary.
I’ve experienced the dark despair of depression as well. My heart sends you love as you walk your own journey. I know how it feels to be locked in a cage, and to be trapped within the self. Your writings are brave, you are an Angel.
I send you blessings, love and light.
Love,
Joan
