This blog is a chronicle of the day-to-day work of rediscovering the real me. As a child in an abusive home, to a young woman with bipolar disorder, and now learning that I have many different parts, I am in an ongoing venture to finally know who I am. I am also a mother of 2 wonderful teens who have kept me on the path to discovery.

Me: Finding the Missing Pieces 
Comments on: "About" (10)
Kat, A little note to thank you for joining me in my journey (following my blog). I am following your journey and reading your words, it’s like you are in the room with me; telling me your narrative. The words trickling into my vision and I see you, the characters and your sunshine come to life. Very few “authors” can do this for me….thank you thank you for sharing your life as somewhere, someone out there (me) is finding peace within them. Wishing you the best. x

i too am finding many similarities when i read your posts. for whatever reason (DID, bipolar, abuse, etc.) i was much as you appear to be for a very long time. i have, in the last 5 years, drastically changed in that regard. i find where you are to be very captivating, leading to much introspection about myself, as well as curious as to where this journey will take you.

It’s very hard to do and hard to stay with but you can recover and begin to feel whole, even
with the DID.
