Red's house

Red's house

Hi, I haven't been here consistently for a little while. Shutting myself off felt safer. I was formed after being suicidal last month. I needed to remove myself from online worlds for my safety and that of others. I'm doing better now, I'm just stressed out.

I enrolled myself to full time study at tafe in a few weeks. Getting that all done pushed me to my limits. But im looking forward. I have dreams. I have hopes. I have desires.

I want to pursue my business and my art talents. I will be doing a cert iv in business to give myself the skills to thrive in this. I want to have a future, which is great but scary. It gives the opportunity for failure. But also success. I got this.

Breathe, Red, breathe, create you're safe place. This thread I'll be hanging out more and try not to be too down or hard for myself. If anyone wants to hang out at my place they are always welcome.

There's always tea and coffee, with biscuits if desired. In this winter the fire is on and we can Chillax

Re: Red's house

@tyme I'm having a hard time in relation to what happened to me 2 years ago. The sexual violence over my birthday haunts me. I want to move on. I'm thinking of talking to a lawyer. Idk last time I sent someone to court I paid dearly and have permanent disability due to my actions. I just want it to go away.

Re: Red's house

I took a week ofline to regroup and rethink stuff.

I saw my psych today. It was my final medication review. Things managed to go by without significant self harm over Easter and my bday. So we are both happy with my progress over the years. Next appointment I will officially discharged from public mental health services.

Emotionally I'm still all over the place, but im getting through it differently than I used to. It's weird how thinking back to even a few years ago how damaging I was and how invested to hurting myself or trying to end my suffering permanently.

My permanent solution was death at the time, now recovery took it place. My suffering and pain is lessening, hopefully the changes and healing I have been doing will be that permanent solution I was looking for.

I am sad for all the years I lost, lost to myself, barely surving wishing I wasn't. My 32 years so far full of pain, but here's to 32 more, hopefully less pain in them.

I can't change my past, I can't change what I've done in response to that pain in my past. But I can slowly chose a different way forward.

Life is hard, but despite that, it is astonishingly beautiful. They say the view from the top of mountain is stunning, but you still have to climb it to see the top. Without darkness we won't realise how bright the sun is, without pain we won't realise how valuable peace is. I'm not grateful for my pain, but I'm glad I can see that there is more to life than the pain. There is love, kindness, joy, beauty, and so much more that life can show us.

I dedicate my life to show others the endless possibilities before us. As an artist I have amazing opportunities to show how the is beauty to be found out there, we just have to look.

Re: Red's house

I had a shit day. I'm so sore.

I was at a market. Didn't sell anything. Hardly anyone even said hi.

Physically I give up, I was supposed to have a soccer match tomorrow, but I got home and couldn't walk, I can't even move.

Read/watched stuff about election to distract myself. But it's really hard.

Re: Red's house

Tonight I'm feeling like what is the point. I try so hard to get ahead, get somewhere, do anything so I don't feel like a waste.

Its so hard when effort has no outcomes. Physically, my body keeps failing, mental its a roller-coaster.

I had so much i needed to do today. I slept most of it instead. I feel worse. The pain is intense, its hard to breathe, im so exhausted just by doing nothing. Life just doesn't seem to need me in it.
