How I did it: Heating pads at night. No driving myself anywhere. Take it easy, stay straight, take meds. BE CAREFUL how you move and don't stress your back a 2nd or 3rd time, very easy to do, unfortunately! Read how I did it…
How I did it: I used 43things for what it's best at: getting help from a community of people to help solve your problems. I adopted the goal "Ask for help" and framed my question. Did anyone know which goal a certain entry of mine was in? Read how I did it…
How I did it: I misremembered the name 43folders and wound up at 43things instead. Took a look around and it seemed interesting, so I joined and stuck around, and I'm glad I did! Read how I did it…

for form the other day. How did the thing get written without it being so depressing NO ONE would read it?
At least initially, the answer is that the first “episode” is the day that Dave Pelzer was taken away from his family. It makes me cringe, as it is supposed to, but there are pieces there I can really relate to. Mostly the feeling helpless and as if no one would believe me and if I told I’d be in “big trouble.”
Abuse sucks. Not only is it horrible to live through whatever victimization, but also I frequently ran head long into either people not believing me or not wanting to hear what I had to say. The isolation is another layer of the abuse. Dave Pelzer was saved by the system, thank God, but his fear of the system at the beginning speaks to the isolation of the abused soul.
