and spent most of the night reading it. It helps knowing I'm not alone and he was so right about how I feel about myself. I guess I'm in the dissociate and cut group, that description of the woman who had pulled over her car and lost a few hours hit home in a big way. I wish I could find someone like this to receive therapy, but in all honesty I'm probably not ready. My psych says I'm extremely unstable and to deal with why I'm cutting, is probably something I can't handle. Maybe it helped reading this before I think about actually talking about it. Thank you for recommending this, I think maybe I have turned a corner from all my years of hiding. Take care- Judy

In reply to Noa- I received Levenkron's book, posted by judy1 on November 6, 2000, at 15:54:54
I'm glad you are finding the book helpful. Even if you aren't ready to delve into the issue head on, at least you can start to work on feeling less ashamed of it, knowing you are not alone.

Judy, how are you?
Hi Noa,
Just saw this, and thank you for asking about me. I replied on your ER thread, but a lot of stuff has happened. I went back to my old shrink- 100 miles away- and he brought up the possibility of TLE. I guess complex seizures can involve dissociation and self-injury also. Either way, I would say I have one screwed up brain. I started topamax, an anti-convulsant, and feel nauseous and totally out of it. I'm doing all kinds of things to keep myself here- timers, rubberbands on the wrists, ice cubes- whatever it takes. So far, no cutting, so that's good. I guess this is all a combination of genetics and environment and hopefully will be sorted out someday. Take care, Judy
