Hi all! Maybe this isn't quite the right place for this thread, but you are the ones that know me best, so I wanted to share it with you. I answered a personal ad a few weeks ago, proceeded very carefully, and guess what, he wants to stick around! It's been 28 years since I've been even close to a man, so this is quite mind-boggling! He's sweet, very open and honest, has been told about the SA and DID and he is not concerned about what I've shared. It really blows me away. I know this may not last forever, probably will not, as neither are seeking that, but for as long as it lasts, I feel very blessed and happy. The truth is that I've been suicidally depressed for a couple of years now, and am not on any antidepressants because I am thoroughly treatment resistant, this is giving me something, someone new and positive to focus on instead of only how miserable I am. So I wanted to share my joy with my friends here at PC.
Also, was blown away yesterday by my psychiatrist who offered me on-going weekly therapy! I've been without a therapist for a year and a half. I have a few misgivings about it, but I'm going to give it a try. I just hope it doesn't stir up to much "stuff" and create crises. Don't want that, especially now. I think there will be a focus mainly on the depression. He does not know a lot about DID. At this point, that may be a good thing. And my fella picked me up from my appointment, took me home and made me dinner!!!!!
Anyway, I hope you all will be happy for me, and know that I still need you. We live tough and complicated lives every single day, and i wish all of you could and will find a little joy once in awhile, as i am experiencing right now. for my very precious dissociative family!

Well, even though we just met, Miri, I do feel an affinity with you. We are in the same DD boat together so I think this is a good place to post.

Whoa, you are dating! Wow. Sounds fun! "Joy" is a pretty cool thing! Thanks for letting us in on your Joy!

Also, was blown away yesterday by my psychiatrist who offered me on-going weekly therapy! I've been without a therapist for a year and a half. Cool

I have a few misgivings about it, but I'm going to give it a try. I just hope it doesn't stir up to much "stuff" and create crises. Don't want that, especially now.

No guarantees on that one, but your new friend seems to be fairly open about 'stuff'.

I think there will be a focus mainly on the depression. He does not know a lot about DID.

Whoops, gotta admit, got a bit of a red flag here but pretty sure you can take care of you.

...I hope you all will be happy for me, and know that I still need you.

Happy, happy, happy for Miri and we NEED you too.

We live tough and complicated lives every single day, and i wish all of you could and will find a little joy once in awhile, as i am experiencing right now. for my very precious dissociative family!


Thank you Miri, definately know about the complications. What a lovely kind thought.

I rejoice in your happiness, Miri. It sounds like you've got a really good overview of what's happening. Joy is a wonderful thing.

I don't know you really well, Miri, but I too am happy for you. I hope this will prove to be a great relationship. I am fighting a battle against the urge to "warn" you to protect yourself, but I know you don't need my warnings. It's just that I have not yet begun to genuinely trust relationships. I just want you to be safe as well as joyful.
