Welcome, everyone! I am glad you found my website. I hope you find the support I never had.
I was born into a dysfunctional family. I was neglected, abused, bullied, and mocked since I was a child. I developed dissociative identity disorder with four alters plus my core, which I am integrated at the moment, thankfully!
I never felt like I had a family, let alone a safe space to express emotions, whether I was drowning or rising. I just didn't have support of any kind. I only had love and faith in my heart, but no people.
I created this website so you don't have to go through what I went through alone. I know you will still feel overwhelmed, defensive, and hesitant to be vulnerable. I just can assure you that you will have ears here. I won't try to fix you or change you. I will just hold space so you can feel what you feel and be who you are.
I was suicidal in the past, so I ask you to respect anyone even if your opinions differ, because you never know what they're going through, and I want this space to be safe, peaceful, and healing. Let's support each other. Let's cry together. Let's lift each other up. Let's just be human and allow ourselves simply to be.
With Love and Care,
Drowning or Rising
