Re: Poem

Re: Poem

For everyone: I first started seeing my psychiatrist in 1998. I wrote this poem about him and therapy twenty-five years ago. As you can see, I didn't trust him at the beginning. I know now that he did and doe's care. I hope someone can relate and it's not too negative for here!

@REDLINEZ750 Here's another one. Are you okay? I'm being brave by putting it up!

Therapist

Do you laugh behind my back?

I doubt that you care less

How do you look upon my life?

Pathetic, I would guess

Did you ever give a thought

until I walk on through?

Or am I just another one

waiting patiently in queue?

You hide behind your doctor's mask

I know that's it's not you

I wonder what you're really like

Is what I see all true?

I want to trust and believe in you

But I can't believe you care

You keep your distance emotionally

and personally, never share

I am depressed and miserable

I feel unstable too

Are you glad when time is up

I wish I really knew

I'm so angry, I've no control

You won't open up to me

You have the power, I'm vulnerable

I hate the pain, you see

I sit with this every week

and I'm still compelled to come

My need for love is crushing me

I'm here for just a crumb

Does my pain amuse you so?

Is that behind your smile?

I want control that you won't give

I need to feel worthwhile

I have failed in my eyes

and it brings up all the past

Not wanted and unlovable

It's the role I have been cast

I love and hate you passionately

You hold some king of spell

Damn you for your ethics, [named removed by moderator]

But thank you too, as well

I'm feeling now, you wanted that

Though I can't say I'm impressed

I have to trust what you want

Is to see me at my best!

Re: Poem

i hello @AuntGlow umm thanks honestly im just unsure how to apologise to my forum friends that might of been worried or felt ignored or ghosted.

every interaction already help me so much by accepting me and giving me a place i can see and feel human care for each other.

im not used to sharing things i feel i can here, its not a bad thing just forien

sometimes i shock afterwards and its my experiences doing it no one has ever given me a hard time

plus i can respect varied opinions id be a hypocrite not to.

just the last few years i took some big hits and my small circle turned on me when i needed it.

since losing my psychologists few months ago in same week.people here gave me safe space and no judgement

i get so locked into letting something out while adding some context i forget you all are struggling so feel like ive been selfish and disespectful.

when people that i would walk through fire for reject me and a company that said i had a job for life if i wanted gaslight me so they have a scapegoat im not sure they can all be wrong so im seeing kindness and feel its going to see what they did sorry im doing it again

im not a sook honest

Re: Poem

Hey @REDLINEZ750 , I'm sure you are not a sook. You sound like a fighter! One who has had to battle to get to where you are now. You are powerful. You are strong mate!

We love connecting with you. Somtimes, you might find we nudge you towards also including what support you'd like from the community so that we get it 'right'. People see support in different ways. Some just want to be heard. Others want other perspectives. While others just want someone to sit with them.

This is why we have the guideline "Tell the commmunity what you need". By doing this, we reduce the likelihood of causeing upset.

Thank you so mcuh for trusting the community and sharing @REDLINEZ750

Re: Poem

thanks @tyme also thank you for response on friday

just took my support dog that im told is not a support dog despite being beside me day and night for 17 months getting me out of bed every morning and getting me outside every night and giving me feeling of worth not even interested in seeing us together.

just we can sell you one,

clearly established connection is nothing when a certifivcate is everythingi

im not going to even ask if it wasnt realistic, i know how dogs should behave around food and kids plus hes smaller than most cats dry all cats wet anyway

see psychiatrist tomorrow feel a bit silly after reading the self care section of tell community what you need, silly as its what i should know to do i didnrt look at the facts

Re: Poem

Good morning @REDLINEZ750 My partner showed up yesterday (I forgot all about it) and is staying with me for a few days, so I won't be on the forum all the time as I normally am. He's down to attend a meeting about his brother's funeral. An autopsy has been done, and it was heart failure. There will be a gathering in a couple of weeks for him.

Thanks for sending me the Fergie song. I've never heard it before. I found one with the lyrics because I like to know what you're saying to me.

The passage of scripture is both reassuring and confronting. I do like verse 8 because it tells me that my loyalty is divided between God and the world. I think that sounds about right to me. Thank God for His grace and mercy, hey!

I hope your day is okay!! Give Pooky a hug for me! Sending much love! 💛

Re: Poem

My support button isn't working atm @REDLINEZ750 I've only just seen your post! I haven't read it yet because I want time on my own to read it. My partner is here at the moment, and I feel bad being on the laptop all the time. I don't want to be distracted when I read it!! He doesn't mind me being on here and calls you 'my boyfriend'. 😂 I'm so proud that you're sharing and can't wait to read it and reply!! 💛

Re: Poem

Oh, no apology needed! @REDLINEZ750

Your thoughts and feelings are very much welcomed here.

I am so glad your interactions with the forums community have helped you to feel accepted and supported. 🥰

You haven't been selfish or direspectful at all! It sounds like you're really needing a safe space to be heard, and it would be hard not having your regular support system right now.

I wonder if you could explore a new psychologist or in-person support group? 🫶
