Something’s not right

Still not in “crisis” - I know that’s not allowed

Still not in “crisis” - I know that’s not allowed

So...I don't get it. They take my email address and demographic info. They email me to take my "crisis" elsewhere. Surely they will have a some sort of case file about me by now and will be talking amongst themselves about my perceived diagnosis, help seeking behaviours, pathologies, etc. I'm not in crisis. I'm just certifiably batsh1t crazy and grieving over my partner not loving me anymore (among about a dozen other big things that I'm trying to deal with). I don't have any more words. My words are useless anyway.

Re: Still not in “crisis” - I know that’s not allowed

You aren't batsh1t crazy. If you were, you'd be talking to yourself. Haha. At least you have a sense of humour despite being certifiable. I don't know how reading about others' problems is meant to help. All I have in life is trying to keep myself and others afloat. I have no more space for giving anything else to anyone. All I do is give. My cup is bone dry. I don't have a choice.

You ALWAYS have a choice though. Keep that in mind.

Yes - @BabyHowYaFeelin

You do have choices - one thing that is never taken away from us is our right to have choices. People might try but they can't take your freedom to think what you like and believe what you like away -

I wonder if your converstatons with yourself help you - they might - I actualy do chat away to myself when I am trying to make a decision - like whether or not to see a specialist about shoulder replacement surgery - and it worked - I will see him and ask for an opinion which isn't asking for an operation -

And your sense of humour keeps popping out - it's right there - and I believe it's a good one and will be your salvation - my sense of humour has been mine

I wonder what you do during the day - most evenings we have a busy time starting around dinner time and going on for a few hours but easing off around 10.00 pm. To get someone in on your conversation it's probably a good time to come in after dinner - and hopefully get a bit of a chat - rather than having these lonely look-alike messages. It's frustrating not to get any answers

Was it someone here who told you to take our crisis somewhere else beause people here are unlikely to do that. Maybe it was another site. Of course you can have your crisis here - I think the guidelines state that we cannot be graphic. It is really hard if we have had a tough time with a therapist or specialist or dentist and we can't talk about the experience when we need to - the thing is the moderators are concerned that such descriptions might cause other people to avoid seeking help.

I just pulled up your first post on this thread on my old computer - the problem is about your partner not loving you anymore. That is heart breaking - to be told that has to be so hard to talk about that the words feel useless - how can we talk about the huge muddy boots that just trampled about in the delicate little garden of our hearts and souls - someone has planted their huge tradie boots rght in the centre of your chest and blasted you - and that really is the pits. Such behaviour can and does destroy our self-worthiness and is unwarrented and unfair

No need to take your crisis elsewhere. Find the right words and be gentle with yourself

One of my favourite poems is a sonnet written by Shakespeare - it's truth and gutsiness had helped me pull myself together often - and it starts

Th'expense of spirit in a waste of shame

Is lust in action.......

And continues in graphic language that really illustrates passion

It hurts when love dies - I hear that and I understand and hope you continue - your conversations with yourself say more than you realise - or - maybe you do

But in my book - you are welcome here

Hello @BabyHowYaFeelin

I was one of your early supporters, but my cup was too bone dry to do much more than hit that support button. Sorry. I know its not much and I come from the bottom of the human pile so I know what its like keeping others afloat and how many actually do need support. More than I can cope with. Good on you for trying. SOmehow life takes everything we have. I have also experienced a lot of grief.

Glad that @Owlunar interrupted your conversation with yourself. She and I have both admitted to talking to ourselves here on the forum, and after a while, once you get over the fear of being b...s... crazy or whatever ... a sense of humour can emerge.

I also get the irony of your thread title and as someone overly trained to follow the rules and make things easy for those in charge, I really do hear you. Not sure how long you have been kicking on around the planet or the forum ... but its good you posted. I read your posts, and plenty others did, whether or not they replied, which meant it did not go into a vacuum.

I get allergic to the whole choice thing. Wont do my soapbox about it now. At least we are all a bit different.

Take Care
