Well Im 68 today, go back 51 years I was close to ending it all, seemed the only solution. 2 attempts at that thankfully Im still her! So my life at the age of 7 I played darts with a old man who had parkinsons, he could not speak his hands shook all the time he lived next door to me. His only pleasure was his garden and playing darts I was the only one to play with him most days. Then one day I went round only to find him hanging in his shed next to the dart board !!!!!! I blocked this memory out of my mind totally! Then my mother took me to see the doctor he was a young new doctor first time seeing him. I Think it was because of the trauma off finding the old man! But the first thing this doctor did was examine my private parts first memory of him. Over the next 10 years this doctor sexual abused me under the pretext that I was not developing as I should ! Found out recently from my current doctor there was nothing wrong with me! So growing up thinking somethings wrong down below messed with my head massively !! Teenage years it put a block on my developing life. Then I met drinking in the pub with my mates, petrol on the fire. I then made the biggest mistake of my life drink fueld I did something I was totally ashamed off. This turned my life upside down, shame guilt followed etc! Suicide was very close now!!!! but I struggled on until I was 28 had to had to cope how!!!! I saw a advert for self hypnosis in the paper, only hope! got the cassettes started listening to them, things started to change I was reprograming my mind, Started to cope with life etc , until I was 32 then my mother died she had kept me going without know my story, Soon after on my own now I had a massive breakdown! diagnosed with clinical depression, put on medication. It was just survival for me then things were bleak!!!! It was then I started to listen to Wayne W Dyers tapes and programs this help me cope and rebuild my life his teachings started to change my thinking on life and gave me hope. Fast forward many programs later and daily work on myself Im enjoying life and still now trying to help you cope and find ways to do it! It may just be a simple quote or comment but to me it could be life saving to someone who reads it!!!! Ray 68 today and enjoying my life.
