I was dissociated for decades and barely blinked an eye, although my medical records refer to constant depression and suicidal feelings. Now I'm in midlife and involved with therapy, I feel worse than when I was dissociated. I'm not coping well frankly. It hasn't helped that I have no immediate support network, I lost my entire family due to the fall-out of my neglect being revealed. So if you were abused/neglected like me, how do you cope? How do you manage to show yourself love and compassion?
