Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
I'm indeed very grateful, thankful and appreciative for the collaboration of all people who have supported me on my journey through living with mental illness. - and both professionals and ordinary people have both served as equal sources of support and help. - in particular my peers...
Trying to navigate the complicated mental health system. Is indeed a very daunting task and procedure for anyone. And bye no means has it been enjoyable or easy. - in actual fact it's probably been the opposite.

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
I’m in a dark place
I’m in a crazy world
I’m in a negative thought
it’s a hour by hour process
doctors on alert
they’re all concerned
I could explode anytime
it’s fragile time for me
I feel exhausted weak
emotional angry overwhelmed
frustrsted snd scared
this is me right now 😥😥😥
I’m isolated in my room. No one understands me at home. I’m doing this on my own. And it’s bl***y hard.

Re: Poem - And So I Am Become Darkness
I'm reading poems thread started by @Silenus.
I must shift immediately back to the present poems by @BlueBay a couple of paragraphs by @eudemonism.
Where are you @Appleblossom? I need your influence.
This is definitely not for everyone but For me...Out of everyone, Apple and I have had the most varied and interesting relationship...I am not ignoring people like @Mazarita or @Former-Member @Jacques @eth or @Shaz51 @CheerBear or anyone...I have forgotten others who I love and adores but Apple.....for me your the one who gets under my skin in a nice creative......I get the sitting by the flowers and drinking cups of tea time while classical music is playing and not being bored.

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
I'm trying to describe something here but it's difficult when Mr Buddha is wanting my input which sunglasses he should wear and which cap should he put on his head.
When @BlueBay wrote the last poem, really good.
read some poems from @Silenus and thought, yep...I feel like these poems when I get along my daily days.
I find @Silenus more difficult to read because they are longer and my reading is shot but if I read and read little bits at a time, I can read.
Like this silly message is becoming. LOL
And then @eudemonism.....this is what I relate to so thank you @BlueBay and @eudemonism. For me I would write different words to evoke my emotion but I get your poems and paragraphs to evoke yours

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
Thanks @PeppiPatty for your warmth and fondness. Oh dear re Mr Peppi
I tried to focus on writing for a bit, but the things I want to write about are so sad and I lost the will and energy and went downhill. It seemed wiser for my mental health to keep doing music. I keep writing high on my bucket list, but I obviously need more support and a better situation if I am to focus on those things. So best left til I am ready.
I smile as I dont relax and listen to classical music enough. I need to do it.
Love Apple

Re: Writing As A Form Of Therapy
Lets us both think of one word at a time @Appleblossom .......
There's no hurry. Victor Frankel falls in my thoughts .......
You know the story Apple. Victor Frankel writes :
One searches for self-discovery &
pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.
One breathe at a time.......
