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!

Good morning @REDLINEZ750

I don't remember minimalizing my se*ual abuse but if I did, I'm sorry. I would never mean to do it! You have every right to be hurt, upset and angry from your experiences!

There are people in the world who are pretending to be children online to catch the scum. They meet them with a video recorder and record them while they ring the police with all the information. I used to support them in England but had to stop as it was affecting my mental health. They do a good job! Yes, 'scum' is everywhere and are protected. They will be held accountable one day!

Ooh. I wonder what news you have for me! 💛

Re: Poem

@REDLINEZ750 Did I do something wrong by saying what I noticed in a photo? I think so. The photo where I saw a few tats on a lower arm was of Pooky close to you. You described your hair. I don't think we're doing anything wrong @rav3n I wouldn't know Redline if I fell over him! We're trying to do the right thing!

I have a few tatts as well. One says, 'one day at a time' and the other says 'freedom'. I was in a rehab when I had the tattoos done. I got the word 'free' done but the next morning I woke up and thought, I don't feel f****** free today so got the 'dom' put on the end. 😆

Re: Poem

@heartathome @REDLINEZ750 neither have you have done anything wrong!

i was just asking about the images used in the poem - which @REDLINEZ750 has clarified and said it's no one identifiable 😊

and thanks for letting me know that it was @heartathome's poem - it's written so well ✨

aww Pooky! @heartathome @REDLINEZ750 hope your all having a nice Tuesday so far! 💙

In response to: Re: Poem

Re: Poem

You have nothing to apologize for @REDLINEZ750 I have not been offended to anything you've said!

Sounds like a good place. Try and do what they say. I'll be here for you when the 10 days is up!

Your photos haven't come up yet, but I'll check later.

How are you feeling at the moment? 💛

Re: Poem

Thanks @rav3n

Why do I always think I'm in trouble when a peer worker shows up? Past experiences of people in authority. Thanks for not berating us. I know you wouldn't, but my head says otherwise.

Authority makes me immediately go on edge. My first thought is, what have I done wrong? I guess that was the majority of feedback I got as a child. I've never seen anyone abuse their power on here.

I hope one day I will get to trust authority again. I trust my psych which is a great start! I've only been seeing him for twenty-six years! There is still hope! 😆💛

Re: Poem

Oh the trouble that sth park fella is about to have with me! @heartathome 😁

I'm dazed honestly I've been physically stationary mentally frantic it's not a good combination it's harrowing feeling heart and throat like that when I try move.

I needed to make a phone call organize transport since 10am so I will do that now and huge physical discomfort just texting that but I need to do it or I will then rumenate on not doing it and get a voice beating me up for knowing I had to do it and leaving it to late and it's my fault I can't go and I fucked everything up again and all I had to do was ring one person who's only treated me as trauma informed people do yet if it was a text saying saying your weak as piss can't even make a phone call I'd be on the person's face quicker than I knew I left the house aaaarrrrgghhhh

I'm ok I'm safe just scared a little lost I think

Re: Poem

@REDLINEZ750 you are such a kind person Red no apologies needed. just take good care of yourself hun. love bun xx

In response to: Re: Poem

Re: Poem

Oh @REDLINEZ750 I'm here! Did you manage to make the phone call? It's not the end of the world if you haven't! You've got huge things going on at the moment. Going into 'the clinic' is huge scary in itself! You have to leave your little lion (for a little while) and the place you feel safe in. I understand that you're scared and lost! It is a scary journey! I know you can do it! One day at a time. One moment at a time! What can you do to ground yourself atm? In a 'clinic' up here, they don't allow phones at all. It's pretty usual. Pooky will be fine, and you've got God walking with you! Don't forget that. I'm not going anywhere as well. So far you have called yourself some nasty names such as weak as piss and I disagree. I won't be disappointed in you if you didn't make the call. I know how hard it was for me! Try and trust the process. It's not a sprint. It's a lifelong journey of changes and emotional growth! I'm sitting with you, Redline! 💛

Re: Poem

@REDLINEZ750 hearing how that call is quite overwhelming to initiate - i do hope it went okay? hopefully you got a chance to do some self-care after too 💗

@heartathome i can see where you're coming from, and i'm sorry to hear that your past experiences with authority weren't great. i'm not great with authority either, my heart tends to drop when i get called out on even tiny mistakes, but we're both getting there!

i do also want to assure you that when us mods reach out about edits/guidelines, we're not judging you and we're never upset/angry. if there's any issues, we will reach out and not leave you guessing - but even then, we're coming from a place of guidance and support 💗
