Hello people. I'm Katz42 because I like cats. I share a house with a cat who, like all cats, can be smoochy to bitey in the blink of an eye. I don't work anymore, because of my mental health issues. I suffer from (definitely suffering at the moment) from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. When the mood takes me, I write poetry, mostly of the confessional type, like say Anne Sexton or Sylvia Plath. Personally I prefer hard-hitting verse that generally doesn't rhyme. Usually I am surprised at how deep, sad and angry my writing can be, and what it shows is going on deep in my subconscious. I try to be kind, considerate and thoughful to everyone that I come into contact with. My core value is to help people. I describe myself as having a Buddhist heart, without actually being a practising Buddhist. My belief is that everybody should be treated the same, that no one is more special than anyone else. We are ALL special in our many different ways and should be treated as such. Obviously there are a few exceptions. I don't believe that Hitler, for example, was a normal person with his intense cruelty to others. I don't have children of my own, sadly, despite wanting them most of my life. Neither do I have family. At the moment I am friendless and desperately lonely. I see my psychologist weekly and my psychiatrist every couple of months. It helps! I also work hard, on my own to do things to improve the quality of my life. Right now, it seems that the more things that I try to implement into my life as "good things" something bad happens right on top. I realise that it is probably just my perception of events. I feel that there is no joy in my life now and I want to change that. I like various types of music, different sorts for different moods. At the moment old-style rap and hip-hop are my main thing. Well that's me.
