Thanks so much for all of this Alexandra. It sounds very painful. I'm sorry it hurt you so much.
I suppose a lot of the pain is because of the cold, almost brutal judgement of others who are "experts" and should be able to see the "truth" about us - even though a lot of what they write seems to be very superficial and not very useful.
I think what my journey entails at the moment is taking back my sanity and power to take charge of my life. I have started by confronting my mother and husband. The next step is the hospital, which might be a bit harder. But I don't think I can stop now. I have spoken to my therapist and we have agreed that she will accompany me. Tomorrow I will call and make an appointment.
I am not going there to try and find out who I am. I am going to debunk the idea that I am incompetent.
