My name is Yael, 30 year old mother of two little boys, married for 8 years to a physician, and was
diagnosed with PTSD/BPD including bipolar features and major depressive episodes including SIB.
However, I would like to take this opportunity and offer to share my personal process of recovery, from depression towards healing. I believe that regardless to how we were hurt and how lonely, self destructive and hopeless we felt at times, we inherent wisdom and the inner resources to heal our wounds and create a better life for ourselves. However, most of us do not seek help (for many various reasons such as cost, shame etc') and do not acknowledge the symptoms of depression, such as mood, cognitive or bodily symptoms. Inevitably, we find ourselves either indulging in self destructive
behavior, take blame for everything that happens, go through life expecting the worst etc'...
I simply got tired of living with pain, and so I had to choose the long, difficult and painful road and learn how to get rid of guilt and shame, unload my anger, stop playing the victim and step out of the misery I was in, with the hope of trying to find the things that each and every one of us deserves - peace of mind, hope and a future to look up to. It was (and still is-since obstacles will always come our
way) a tough and scary ride.
Once I'll let you inn through the facade, you will find a fragile soul, but a soul who discovered a profound strength to fight the emotional torment, sense of abandonment anguish and anger.
If I can make even a little tiny shortcut in this painful journey, to anyone who hurts, I will get to share some of the inherited wisdom and resources I have found. I would really like to take this opportunity to share my experiences while encouraging others faith and introducing the importance of therapy as an effective and healthy solution for treatment. I would also like to suggest to sufferers, their families and friends some ways to find and create a nonjudgmental, emotionally supportive and understanding support networks. I will offer educational and confidential unlimited time. Become a one on one dedicated source, that will provide some relief while focusing on living one day at a time, where you can listen to or help someone else, but mainly - feel comfortable to expose your TRUE SELF. I am a determined, assertive and confidant survivor who would really like to offer my help- 24/7 while I can, because the longer you wait, the harder it gets.
