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

its ok @heartathome theres no time limit or expectations please take your time i know you will.

hey would you mind if i add visual compliment to Therapy?

i saw it at start and i can take it from there if you ok the idea or another if you like.

for therapy i was thinking maybe a room with 2 chairs and scary storm clouds with sun rays breaking through the clouds but just an idea if you have something to start with we get it right from there../.

hope its not as humid nth coast as here, yeah i am blue mountains/gulumada i just remembered you mentioned thinking it so sorry if i confused you

Re: Poem

Thanks for giving me time to read your post in private @REDLINEZ750

My partner is staying till Thursday now. I'll take him to the cremation on Monday and the farewell for his younger brother on Thursday. He's more devastated seeing his sister's grieving. He doesn't know how to handle other people being upset very well! The family have told him to look spiffy (he's always in shorts or tracksuit pants) and not to be late (he's always late). He's wearing shorts and a t-shirt! It's going to be a hot day, and he won't wear a suit. I love how he lives to the beat of his own drum! People with Autism are such genuine and unique human beings. His family will be very angry with him, I suspect. I'll be there to support him whatever he wears! I don't understand why dress matters but they will all be in black. I'll follow suit although it wouldn't be what my partner or I would choose.

Putting visual to 'Therapist' would be great! Go for it!! I like the idea you already have but maybe just start off with the two people sitting across from one another with a light background, although there have been plenty of storms in there over the last 26 years. I don't know how many times I've told him to f off or f you and slammed his office door over the years! He has never taken it personally that I'm aware of.

It's a pretty cool 25 degrees today so I have long sleeves on inside the unit. I haven't ventured outside yet. You didn't confuse me! I couldn't remember if it was you or someone else who lived near the Blue Mountains. I thought it was you and I was right. How are you and Pooky doing? Do you feel vulnerable since you posted some of your journey? I think everyone here loves you and appreciated you sharing! 💛

Re: Poem

i reckon his younger brother want see your partner as he is @heartathome come as you are

think i feel more genuine now well as genuine as anonymous can be 😁

some times when threads are quiet i see new posts of people starting new threads and if its something i been through i will share what i know maybe it might be helpful, also so thtey get a response ifwhite knuckling waiting for something or someone to respond.

drugs and alcohol have come up,, grieving, broken hearts ,long term relations ending, and though never challenged which i got covered anyway it could of looked like this guys got an answer for everything hes naking shit up.

responding when you asked about your son i felt i was decieving you by not disclosing my own struggles with abstinance since a teenager so if anything im relieved you now could now make an informed choice when keeping in touch knowing what i had been hiding.

it is only recently i stuffed up after 8 yrs and already have a bed booked for me start over again

yayyy 😐

Re: Poem

I'm so glad you feel more genuine. I believe you've always been genuine! I think that not being ready to share something and not being genuine are two different things. I've only been on the social thread since I started. I think @Shaz51 tagged me here. I honestly don't have the energy to reach out to others to support them atm. That you're doing it is great! Supporting others while being supported yourself - win/ win!

'could of looked like this guys got an answer for everything hes naking shit up'

I totally get that. I feel like whatever people say, I think yeah, I know that one! I think I must have looked for every 'wrong' thing to do when I was younger. I also felt like I had a sign on my forehead, saying 'please abuse me'. I got myself in all kinds of pickles!

Don't get down on yourself for not disclosing to me sooner. Not everything comes out at once, like some childhood trauma's that we can't go into. I think we are fine to talk about how it's affecting us today, because it does. It's different with my son because he is my son! I don't know if you can make sense of that. I'm not sure I do. I'm ready for bed so I'll say goodnight now 💛

Re: Poem

Oh, your new therapist sounds really lovely. It's so important to have someone meet us where we are at, isn't it?

How are you feeling today? @REDLINEZ750 🥰

In response to: Re: Poem

Re: Poem

Good morning @REDLINEZ750 Did I see right your post right? Are you moving and got a job there? I'm sorry if you've already told me! I can't remember.

I've got to go and get results of a bl*** test this morning. No biggy. Just checking cholesterol and thyroid.

Today will be 32 degrees but tomorrow will be a hot one at 35. Thankfully, the farewell is at a beach, so hopefully we should get a breeze!

t's been too hot for my son to walk his dog through the day now. The pavements and roads are too hot for her pads. He now goes for night walks with her. It was 37 feeling like 42.5 degrees where he was yesterday! He was struggling with a little fan, and poor Polly was on the kitchen vinal floor, trying to cool off. It's time for a bigger fan!

Are you up to anything today or resting out of the heat? I know you don't like the heat. 💛

i will be living central coastish next week until may but still have phone at least no laptop thoug.

actually Surry hills next week 6 days then next stop for 16 to 20 weeks

how are you?

i will be thinking of you and oartner tomorrow

Re: Poem

i just saw the post a little back and i dont know how i didnt get back and thank you on the 22nd im ewally sorry @heartathome

yes it is good @AuntGlow i still struggle with loss of first one and its only for having her i know what im allowed yo expect its strange, i dont mean to say the ones i refuse are bad im sure they help some people im just not the one rule fits all kinda bloke and trying to handle me or treat me like i know nothing just encourages me to show thier error.

i will be thinking of you tomorrow heartathome seeing someone you love heartbroken is the breaking of your own, i hope its a respectful gathering and if your unable to get on i look forward to catching up soon and actually getting some back n fprth with you it seems like ive been slack you have always been kind and accepting of me and your words have mage all the difference for me consistently my groovy forumite friend 😉😁🚲

Re: Poem

@REDLINEZ750 😂Yeah. I spent a week in Darwin one summer and it was like living in a sauna! The heat was unbearable! The sweat was just dripping off, and people can apparently go 'troppo' in the summer.

Have you ever been to the snow? I haven't but a warm hot chocolate beside a fire sounds nice! I can handle up to around 32 degrees but after that it gets me complaining!

What happened two years ago? Is that when you had the accident?

Are you 'couch' surfing or minding people's places or animals or both? It will be a bummer not having your laptop until May. Can you text on the phone? I can only write a sentence on my phone. All the buttons are too small. It takes me ages to text!

I'm sorry I cut into your banter. I can see how things can get misunderstood so easily.

Who's looking after Pooky when you go to the 'rehab' place?

I'm all good. I'm a bit anxious about driving in rain today so I hope it holds off till I get home.

I hope today is gentle with you! 💛
