Hi my name is Debbie Lopez and as of tomorrow I will be 33yrs old and I
am a female who has suffered from both borderline personality disorder,
eating Disorder, depression and dissosociate disorder. The struggle I went
through was caused from many years of abuse both sexually, physically, mentally
and emotionally. I was affected by fourteen years of major overdoses and
cutting. I have been completely clean of overdosing and cutting for three
years from the healing of God. I have been abandon time and time again in
my life. I have had people get scared of me because of my illness. I grew
up in state hospitals and was told many times I would never get where I am
today. My life is miracle from God above. Having many of these disorders
has put me through so much. I also had shock therapy on two different
occasions as a youngster.
The anorexia has been a harder struggle for me. I have
suffered for twenty five years but God is working on me and I have a such
a gift to work these girls and the girls with all the above disorders as
myself. I have been in many eating disorder clinics and they never helped
me because I was never ready. I know as a borderline I needed to be ready.
I feel the one thing that has helped me the most is the love of God and
Gods people who have showed me love is safe and not to abandon. My dbt
skills have helped me a hole lot. Also working with the Christian
psychologist I work with has helped me so much. I feel Gods power has
gotten me the furthest and the unconditional love of my church. I feel I
needed some to understand and care about me and when I found that. I knew
I could grow.
I have been able to stay off of all medication for
three years completely and I am present a honor society student at the
community collage level who is majoring in Christian psychology. I have
had a calling to someday work with girls who have eating disorders,
depression, borderline personality (self injury), dissociate disorder, and
sexual abuse survivor. My home is going to be Christian based funded by
many of the surrounding churches, It will be free of charge for six months
to year. It is not there money I want. I want them to see it is from the
heart of God that I care about them. Well this is little about me
I would also like to mention I also run a Christian base website
for girls with all these disorders which has been a miracle we are like
one big family. I love each of these girls and guys. My website link is http://groups.msn.com/Shiningwithchristtorecover
I prefer to work with ages between the age of 8 to the age of 18 but
any ages are great. My website is open to all ages of group. I
would like to work with all the above disorders as a volunteers. I feel
very confident in all these are due to my recovery.
