"WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO DO THIS?"
My answer to most questions people ask me is

'because I can'

or

'um..because I did..'

'but it is God who moves us to do His work'

With everything I have been through and still go through I wanted to do something to help others 'cos I been there, I am there and I care. I struggle to maintain paid work with my ongoing challenges. Wanting to help others somehow, I prayed in anguish for many months asking God, "what can I do?" God lead me on a journey through the internet and my prayers were answered
...and that's how the
Castle By The Lake came to be!.

ABOUT THE CASTLE REALM

The Castle By the Lake is based on EMOTIONALLY FOCUSSED THERAPY for working through your emotional needs and issues. We deal with many areas including those with (PTA) Post Trauma Anxiety, (PTSD) Post Trauma Stress, (CPTSD) Complex Post Trauma Stress Disorder, (DID/MPD) Dissociate Identity, (BPD)Borderline Personality, Dissociation, Panic, Anxiety, Depression etc..

The Castle Realm and is quite extensive because we cover a wide range of emotional needs and issues.

We use a TOPIC BASED THREADED POSTING SYSTEM in the rooms and places within The Castle Realm, this way we can continue to discuss certain issues without losing them in a long list of added posts generally found on other websites and the conversation can continue for as long as needed.

You will find there are many places to go to depending on where you feel most comfortable, we have The Castle, Tea Garden, The Cottage, Little Chapel, Healing Pool, Castle University, DID Central and the Battlefield. It is a good idea to save/bookmark your favorite rooms/places to FAVORITES.

You choose where you feel most comfortable to be. Certain rooms etc are set up as permanent discussion areas to be revisted. Rooms and places are welcoming and most are based on our inner needs, feelings and emotions.

We try and help to cater for the particular needs of every member.

Those with DID/MPD will find the Castle by the Lake a fun and helpful place to feel free to explore.

The Castle Realm is quite large and there are many places to play, vent, yell, scream, relax, talk, cry, have fun, create and share your journey with others.

The journey here is as you choose, its your adventure!

CASTLE CARE

ღஐƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒஐღ

"...let it shine..."

Please Pray for:

The members of the

Castle By The Lake

...who struggle daily with emotional issues and are working hard on moving forward. Surviving childhood trauma, abuse and neglect is a daily battle and even just trying to get through 'a day' can be a challenge in our modern world with the expectations on us as we try to outwardly function 'normally' while inwardly dealing with and facing... unknown triggers, frightening flashbacks and horrific past memories that continue to emerge at random throughout simple daily activities and social interactions, as well the confusion as the past 'thought processes' generally brainwashed in by the perpetrator meet the present.

PLEASE PRAY:
*that we will be given the strength and courage to KEEP GOING,
*that we will continue to support each other here
*that we will continue to work through our challenges
*that we will continue to speak out not only for ourselves but for the many children around the world who suffer daily at the hands of their 'caregiver/s'
*that we will continue to seek help from professionals,
*that they will be given the knowledge to know how that help is needed,
*that we will work towards educating others so they can better understand those challenges we face each day
*that lives will be changed for the better
*for those who are supporting us and who face those challenges alongside us

Thank you for your prayers and support.
hugs
Rose xx

Dear Lord,
I pray for everyone here at the Castle by the Lake, for strength and courage to keep going.
If you are struggling at this time, that God will lift you up and show you that there is HOPE, in Him. If you are feeling lost, that God will gather you close to His side. If you are feeling sad, that God will show you His love. If you are feeling joy that you may help by embracing others and share those feelings with them. I pray that all here will find comfort and love and friendship while continuing to grow in You Jesus as they deal with hurtful issues ..and know that your loving arms are wrapped around each and everyone.

in Your name Jesus
Amen
