STRUGGLING TO FIT IN....FEELINGS TO PAINFUL TO HOLD IN ANYONE LISTENING...LEAVE THOSE PAINFUL THOUGHTS HERE..NO RESPONSES PLEASE OUT OF RESPECT

Well hello all

I am a carer who has lived experience.

I started over here on this side seeking answers and support.

I did receive some from some beautiful souls.

Then people move away as expected.

Others drift to more popular sites...as is the way of the world with social media...social chat...

Perhaps even too painful to respond to other carers hurting and seek distraction on these forums.

I personally would like the distraction chats moved to a separate area from the threads where people are reaching out for support.

These specific threads are often overlooked.

The chit chat, social catchup, social support can have separate community guides specifically for that type of communication.

The specific threads re traumatic, terrifying, life affecting situations at time can have a different group of community guides more focussed on supporting and reassuring.

Following up to make sure that people do not feel dismissed, ignored, not heard, not listened to, not worthy enough or valued.

These forums have grown so much and many positive changes have occurred.

I still see blatantly in many threads a mirror of the real world and the western society of interraction.

These are my concerns at this very minute as I have returned after a couple of months.

I believe that this forum, this side of the fence needs to be cared for and monitored differently to one of a friendly welcome.

People land here because they are at their wits end.

So

If this is still here I hope that some use will come from it.

I hope that carers will feel safe in openly expressing how they feel about whatever is on their mind.

Get it out ...writing...music...just get it out...

remember not to write anything that will identify yourself...

let us improve and bring change to the recognition and support that we carers need.

love to all of you very strong, often worn out loving, caring souls

💜💚💛

Hello dear @Bunniekins

My response would have been very confusing for anyone.

Given the fact that I was replying to something that you wrote on here back in May.

This is the thread where you responded to me in May.

If you scroll back it might make more sense.

Then again I often find that I have to rephrase things several times to my husband.

Yes I admit that I can confuse people, even myself.

When we have so much going on in our minds, as well as trauma (PTSD), understanding others can be more difficult.

Add to that equation, confusion from the person communicating with you...well

If it still does not make sense, no matter. I am probably complicating it even more.

Perhaps if I tell you that I used to send photographs of cows for your son to share, that might jog your memory?

Again, if not, no matter.

I remember you as a very warm, loving, humourous, cheeky in a wonderful way, green pea.

You certainly warmed the hearts of many,.

I truly am sorry to hear that you have acquired PTSD from events over a year.

I too have chronic trauma resulting from several situations over a period of decades.

It certainly takes it's toll.

Your description of how your son felt and now yourself is heartbreaking.

I hope that you have a pdoc with whom you feel safe and know that you can trust to continue working together, allowing a stronger sense of yourself to return.

I am going through this myself, have been for some time now and although hard work I am finding me.

I believe in you Greenpea, know that you have resilience and slowly, slowly you will find a place within yourself where you feel comfortable being you.

I hope that I have not rambled on too much.

love

Sophia 💚

@Sophia1 I do remember the cows :D. I remember showing my son2 the cows that you posted xxx. You are a kind person:). Please do not go away again. Pea needs all the friends she can get. Life can be unfair. People hold grudges and judge people over their mistakes when they are ill with psychosis ....Love peaxxx

@Bunniekins @Sophia1 @@Yes I have. You are a rock Greenpeace. To me and I'm sure others on the site. I feel in my darkest times that I wish I'd never had them so I would be free of torment and having fun. So it's a more selfish reason but I also fear what will happen. He is a gentle soul is intellectually disabled and has been used by people.

Dear @Bunniekins

I will never judge anyone for experiencing psychosis.

My family member is going through this quite frequently now.

It does frighten me.

I still know that he is there. My loving family member. Kind, generous and so much more.

I miss him dreadfully.

I do not know what the outcome will be and this is where I have to stop my mind travelling to.

I want for him some peace within himself and a quality of life that will comfort him.

I know that you are here for so many and thank you for including me. The same applies for me. I will always support you . Please do not think that I have deserted you if I take time out from here. I need to do this to stop myself spiralling backwards.

I like your name also @Sweet_cheeks

Sophia

Not having had any professional help, or medication plan as why would you? If you think that there is nothing wrong with yourself.

For all of you struggling at whatever stage, medication symptoms, or non medication, or psychosis. I want to send you a message that you are still a person with feelings and rights. Please be kind and gentle with yourselves.

I hope that you can find support from these forums. Something to ease your suffering if you are in that stage.
