Introduction

Hi guys I am new here but just skipped over introducing myself and threw myself straight into the forums so let's rewind a minute.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder in 1990. It changed my life and not in a good way. My mother said "now you will never do anything with your life" and my Aunt said "we should put her in an institution". It was right then that I decided that I would live the best life I possibly could with this illness. I since met and married my husband and we had 3 gorgeous children who have all now reached adulthood. I have been in and out of hospital a lot since around 2008 and somewhere along the way had BPD added to my diagnosis. I enjoy art and crafts, playing computer games and watching tv. I was working with a psychologist and we were going to work on childhood trauma as I grew up in an abusive household but I kept getting sick so we are currently on a break. Not sure if I want to go back to therapy at this point in time. Not sure what else to add so I will just leave it here. Feel free to ask questions x

Just to let you know that I am going to be real life busy all day Anzac Day otherwise known as Tunes Tuesday.

I have my kids coming over to celebrate middle child’s birthday which is actually tomorrow. We are spending the day watching 8 episodes of Trixie’s Motel starring Trixie Mattel who is a well known drag Queen. Going to be a long day. We are starting at 10am and having lunch at 12pm and dinner at 6pm. Serving sausage rolls for lunch and beef stroganoff for dinner. I am excited because it should be a fun day. However it means that I won’t be able to listen to your tunes on the day. I will try and remember to leave you one early in the morning on Tuesday. I will try and catch up on Wednesday.

@Bunniekins

The four of us over here were wondering if you would like to play here with us. We are kinda wacky here but it’s all kinds of wonderful. If you are not comfortable then that’s ok too. I think we were all still wondering what your decision was?

Re: Introduction

Sometimes throing yourself in can be the hardest part, well done for making it here. I have BPAD and have had many other tags along the way including BPD.

My biggest fear is that I will not find people who understand me. I like to have some grounding in the world to gauge my "sanity".

Trauma is a big part of many of the issues that we face, it can be the instigator for many issues.

Thank you for being so open and I hope you find some comfort in these forums as there are many of us that feel alone and without understanding. We are here to support each other.

Love your work! 🙂

foody friday.. OK that sounds like a good plan @Oaktree @LeChuck @Sophia1

Still drizzling here.. It knitting or guitar. Cant knit to save myself.. OK where's the news paper office

the following is . . . NOT A POEM. Just having fun... .

A RECKONING AT GREY ROCK...

A tale of a town in a tumbeweed land, through the stain of a of a black bacca chew..

A town that emerged from a devil of dust and four gunmen that need no introdoo

The sheriff named chuck

down on her luck

stole her badge from the kid at the show

Chuck offered a trade

for a pretty young maid

Its just lucky that mummy said no..

Then Meggs came to town with an attitude frown

she'd snuff you with one single look.

She diced up a dog

with a onion and frog

and promptly proclaimed she's a cook .

Now graveyards a fillin

There's been lots of killin

and no one left pourin the beer

Then through the swing

doors cross creaking floor boards

Rupert Murdoch sold out to Sophia..

To the drunk on the street

with the big smelly feet

a question not asked is left begging

Soph said 'bribe me again',

I'll gut that dead hen

and give you a rotten egg ... egging.

So hows two guns tony

to steel a new pony

when the papers corruption immune

I ain't just a funnin

I'm comin a gunnin

to the office of the Greystone Tribune..

Meggs jumped with a start

propelled by a faart.

to the rusty door drunk in the gaol

But the sheriff's still drinking

I'll set him a thinking

as she tosses cold water from pail.

Wake up @LeChuck 2 guns is amuck

at sheriffing some times you suck....

... on a bottle or two

but your head of this crew

so your guns better quick come unstuck.

Cause she sits on the couch

dont make her a slouch

@Sophia1 draws more than cartoons.

I tell you its true

she'll shoot you right through

sure as cows jump over the moons.

But 2gns no class

hides a gun up his ass...k

any one, he's the dirty tricks master.

One strapped to his knee

and down shirt makes three

Just a question of which he'll draw faster..

But then @Oaktree ' s no maid

quick with a spade

and a pot of hot coffee in face

When it come to the fun

she's quick with a gun

paired with sheriff, they ain't no disgrace.

The scene is now set

to late for regret

each carrying their own set of crimes.

Through lightning and thunder

dark nights do they wonder

Counting the midnight bell chimes . . . TO BE CONTINUED.. .. .. !

Rains easing. clouds a lifting. Going to visit the river.

Hope this raised a smile or two.. Take care of yourselves and each other folks. tonys 2 gns

@Oaktree @LeChuck @Sophia1 And any other pilgrims n drifters
