Unknown trajectory

Unknown trajectory

Hi, I figured i better say hello to everyone and maybe say some something about myself. I don't like talking at the best of times, but i'm sure that is understood here. I have joined a few forums, not related to MI, one was a car forum and i still couldn't bring myself to write anything there. I figure what is there to lose.........(may come back to that).

I dont even know where to start. There is no train of thought, so sorry if it's a bit all over the shop. 14 years ago i was diagnosed with depression by a doctor out in the bush and was given some not so good drugs. Which about 1 month after starting them i went into a psycotic rage and never touched them agian. Through the years i kinda of learned to live with the things in my head and through self medication. Last year i went through a bad break up and i am of the understanding the stress may have triggered things as i had the Police called on me a couple of times, Due to self harm. The most i had to do with that was talk to someone on the phone for 5 minutes then sent on my way. I then moved to a property by myself, of which the closest person is about 5km away. since moving here i have smelled bbq's, smelled someone cooking a pizza the other day. he Truman delusion is as real as anything can be. Happy i am aware of it though, even if i can't lock in that it isn't real, because it could be. Even though that would be one boring show (it alone makes writing here hard).

I have always liked my own company, from when i was a child. However once moving to a place by mysIelf, thing have been progressively getting worse, and have been considering proffesional help.

One thing that puts me off getting help is i'm not a fan of the drugs at all. Not due to past experience. I understand i saw a crappy doctor out in the middle of nowhere, who just threw me on the first thing that came to his mind at the time. I don't want to be "zombiefied".... bad term but there are no other

The main reason i'm writing this is because commented on a post the other day and the paranoia is getting to me a bit. Mostly my comment about returning to lurking in the shadows. As since then i read a post somewhere about people praying on the....not 100%, and things like that play on my mind. I see can a clear path as to how i could be percieved as one of these people be just being inthe background reading the posts. Silly i know, but i can see it strong enough to almost belive it myself. Sorry if there are trigger warnings or anything like that, i honestly can't tell. I know somethings that could be said, but i can't really distiguish what is and is not. Anyway, i don't where what i have and have not said, i can't bring myself to reread it as if i do i will delete it and may never try again. It has happened with ther things. Sorry for the long post and if it's not understandable. Now i have to find the strength to push post, that could take take a while.

Anyway, thanks to everyone here for their effort with talking and helping each other. I have only been here a coulpe of days and have read lots of good posts and information. There is no need to resond to this( if i can post it). I am just happy to have got some stuff out. I only have 1 person in my life i can talk to and They have their own life so i try not annoy them too much.

Thanks again

@NatalieSHey, sorry i meant it is hard to focus on the writing with that picture there. You might have understood that but i figured i would reiterate it, I have so many miss understandings with communicating, Mostly probably in my head. I'm even having trouble writing this with the stickman there. I is the simple Thanks for the reply

Re: Unknown trajectory

Hey @Bunniekins Trust you to show up, You are next on the list for having a profile picture that make me feel like a giggly little kid. My day was pretty good considering i had very little sleep. Been keeping myself busy trying to sell stuff i don't need on FB. Duanting when it comes to actually dealing with the people buying stuff. Half the time i delete the post before anyone probably even sees it.

How was your day?

Re: Unknown trajectory

@Former-Member Haha! Yet another poor formite who has trouble sleeping ... I will tag in @Former-Member she and @outlander both have trouble sleeping. I on the other hand sleep pretty well ... occasionally with the help of a sleeping pill 🙂

I am so glad that you like my gp avatar ... wait till you see my other gp avatars I have a whole collection but this is the first and my favourite ... he has such a ernest little expression on his face. Good luck with selling the goods on fb I think you are very brave attempting ... I couldnt lol. I would freak out 😄

Ummm as for me I had my mum up to visit so we went for coffee with her and my daughter and then I attempted to see my doctor (I had an appiontment for 12) but when I got there was told she was running 2 hours at least late!!! I gave up and went home lol will worry about getting a referral later on.

I am knitting again scarf number 3 in the hope that I can make the perfect scarf for Dr G before he retires *cross fingers and toes*. So that is my day 🙂

Hi @Former-Member,

I suffer from depression (amongst other things) too so can understand some of what you are going through. I find I tend to isolate myself from people too, especially when I am really down.

Greenpea is right, I have lots of trouble sleeping so you can normally find me lurking around somewhere on here late at night!! Or like the other night, all night

I haven't got an exciting avatar like the others, just a mixture of 3 animals that another forum member made for me

Fell free to jump straight in and onto any thread you like. People are very welcoming around here.

Hope your day has had some good in it

Re: Unknown trajectory

@BunniekinsYes, that expression! Thanks for the luck, I do need it. Haven't had to deal with many people yet, and the ones i have, have gone alright. It does take a lot. Thinking about dropping a load of stuff off at a salvos/lifeline bin. Don't have to deal with many people then. lol

Sounds like you had a nice day apart from the doctors. Running 2 hours late, that is a long time to sit in a waiting room, I would have done the same, if i ever scheduled anything in the first place. Hope it works out better next time

Good luck with the knitting, I look at those things and Quantum entanglement (Like a tangled set of headphones) comes to mind. It is beyond my comprehension. I once looked at a length of string and it instantly turned into a ball of yarn that did not unravel you get a 10/10 in my book. Good luck with it and i hope you get number 3 finished in time.

Re: Unknown trajectory

Hi @Former-Member wow, it took my half an hour to write that last message, So i didn't see your post until after i posted it. Thanks for your comment. It's strange to say it's good to hear people with smilar stories, as it implies that it is good other people suffer as well. I know it isn't taken that way. It just feels a little weird. I quite like your avatar there are some fun mash ups pictures of animals getting around.

People really are welcoming here, This is a new concept to me, it's almost disconcerting. lol I come and go a lot, I still run away after hitting the post button, and come back once i resign myself to the fact it is done.

I hope you had yourself a good day

Thanks again....again everyone

Morning @Former-Member

Good luck with the sorting/selling stuff....so many times I've decided its easier to donate stuff to charities than actually have people in the house....like many people on the forums I seriously don't do people well as I just don't get them.

Anyway, hope you have a good day. Am going to make the most of the aircon at work today....being cooler might make my brain less mushy!

Oh, @Bunniekins and @Former-Member hubby still in hospital...he went in 8 days ago and has had heaps of tests and is having a procedure today.....may not hear anything until later tonight. Hugz to all and try to keep cool wherever you are.

Re: Unknown trajectory

Good morning to you I don't have people at the house. I either drop stuff off of meet people elsewhere, I've found it makes it easier. And people don't like to come this far out of town to pick things up. Don't worry i don't get people either, well society really, It makes no sense to me.

Good luck with the Air cond and hope everything goes well for your hubby. Whatever it is, it doesn't sounds like fun.

Re: Unknown trajectory

@NatalieS Hi NatalieS sorry to hear that your hubby is still in hospital.... can you take this time to do some self care at home? I can imagine that you are at hospital 90% of the time but it would be a great opportunity to just do something nice for yoursel. Love gp xx
