Womb twin survivors are often misdiagnosed with schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, narcissism etc, when all the time their feelings and behaviour comprise a perfectly normal response to a rather unusual pre-birth experience. <br /><br />Keep on reading and learning, there are other books. And spread the word wherever you can so we don't have to have people like yourself put into hospital for no reason at all. THis science is all very new and closed-minded professionals won't listen. The open-minded people however are welcoming it and gladly embracing it into their work, simply because it works!Womb Twin World Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590190034990099692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37914658.post-38091810497604645482011-08-24T15:18:15.744+01:002011-08-24T15:18:15.744+01:00Hi Althea, I read A Silent Cry earlier this year ...Hi Althea, I read A Silent Cry earlier this year and it was spellbinding. I am one of the people who never knewfor sure I had a twin, but I have carried the feelings with me for over fifty years now, so that should signify something. The statement from the person who wrote that they would pray and meditate on whether they should share their story, because they, too, did not know for sure, or if they were simply going crazy, really hit home.To that person, and to ALL people feeling that way, I say,trust your intuition! I was hospitalized in mental hospitals 20 times in my life, and the bulk of those hospitalizations were in my twenties and early thirties when I was hearing voices ( I had been hearing voices since the age of 10) and there were all sorts of other things, like not feeling real, feeling my twin's presence all the time (and still do, to this day) so the psychiatrist declared I was schizophrenic This was in the 1970's and there was no mknowledge of vanishing twins, at least not among the myriad psychiatrists I went to (and there were a lot of them). I had pushed down the feelings of having been a twin for at least a decade when everything hit the proverbial fan in 1977 when I really went off the deep end and told my doctor that my twin sister was still around as a ghost and we were interchangeable. In the hospital they were very interested in my story but they really didn't take me seriously, they just wanted to treat my "delusions". But my point is, they AREN'T derlusions!! My deep feelings of having had a twin are still there, 30 years after shock treatments and every pill in the book, and untold numbers of doctors. It's still there becxause its THE TRUTH. Of course people who don't understand think we're all crazy. We have to operate on the strongest faith there is... faith in ourselves. If the feelings are persisting no matter what, then I believe that you are indeed a womb twin survivor. The stories in A Silent Cry prove it to me, and thank you Althea, for publishing that wonderful book, and for all your research and guidance. You are helping a significant number of people who otherwise might just feel adrift and crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
