Hi Unbroken,

I have never done a timeline, but there was a recent thread I thought you might want to read: Timelines.

I am sorry, it's pretty painful when you finally step back and begin to realize how bad it was. But as hard as it is, it's also the beginning of healing.

And as for time in therapy, you have a very long way to go to break my record.

AG - you are TOOO funny - yes perhaps brokes' Long Long time is a bit less than your therapy timeline!

Brokes, I was going to try this at the time of the thread that AG suggested - i started and researched a bit about it one night - I did find a couple of useful things, but it got too hard. This is a task that I really don't want to do.....

I never did a timeline but I started writing out the major events in my life that happened to and around me.

Unfortunately I concluded that every part of my life seems to be pervaded by complicatedness...

I just think that I'm doomed sometimes...doomed to just living half-heartedly and in sadness. I verify that because both my parents until now live lives of disassociation and an emotionally cold existence. What makes me different? I ask. I'll become just like them, the patterns are already emerging.

I think I'll be in therapy for a very long time too. Decades I believe.

(((((unbroken)))) I have never done a timeline, but I probably should, since I don't have a very clear picture of my life. Maybe I don't want a clear picture, because I feel I have wated so much of it. I hope that you will find comfort and peace slowly, while working through so much painful trauma. I'm so sorry you were hurt so much. I wish I could take it away.

Hey Unbroken,

Way to go on making a timeline, although I don't doubt how tremendously painful it must have been to see everything you've been through written out. I've never made one. There's a lot of holes still in my memories, so it would be tough because of that, but also because (like Beebs) I don't know if I want to have a really clear picture.

I am SO happy for you that you have a supportive T and that you're feeling more connected than ever. How fantastic. Just take things at your own pace and don't feel pressured at all to post. We all go through times where it's just really hard to post. And I went through a long while recently where I didn't post hardly at all because of memories and other things resurfacing and since this is just such a wonderful place (), everyone was, and is, always super supportive.

Many hugs.
