I’ve been working hard on my job search now that things settled down for me after surgery. Good things have been happening in my life and I’m so glad that I’m able to stay positive through all the hard things I was facing after my move back.
So many changes in my life have come up but they have all been super good for me. I’m thankful for that. I know it doesn’t always happen so smoothly when life throws challenges out to a person.
I’ve been staying very busy with work, my writing jobs, and my children’s schedules. I have a daughter thinking about her middle school years coming up and a son that’s starting football practice as soon as school is out. This summer will be interesting, to say the least, but nothing a gazillion other mothers don’t face each day.
I’ve seen quite a few mentions of MPD in the news lately since Herschel Walker (former Dallas Cowboy) released his book. I purchased a copy and plan on speaking about it here on my blog as soon as I can read it. I loved his attitude in the interviews that I saw, it was very much like my own when it comes to treatment and living with MPD. I never heard mention of him working to integrate but I’m not sure of that as a fact. I look forward to seeing what experiences he shares and what type of outlook on healing he has.
I have said before and I’ll say it yet again–every case is different and personal and the treatments can vary so much from person to person, but the big goal is to heal and keep going, to LIVE and survive. That, I believe, is why I used this coping mechanism during whatever trauma I went through. I had such a will to live. Why would I lose that later in life when I have far more to live for?
