PInk, this is not a good idea. Wondering around people's homes at night when you are very sick, have so-called "mental illness" labels on you, etc. could land you into trouble. Even though it's a very sweet gesture, it would be seen as "odd behavior" and could cause problems, including making it harder to get your son back. 

 

Unless you know these people, please keep a low profile until you feel better. Perhaps paint a rock for your son or find another art project that he might like to keep with him. 

Oh hell I never saw it like that.I was just going to put it out side there gate.

Thank you for that.God that never even crossed my mind.I just saw the side of putting a smile on some ones face.

 

i will hide them in my sons bedroom for him when he comes home at the weekend.Just finished a drawing for him as well.

I need to say this as I was triggered on here yesterday twice.i came back on this site very poorly.But with a whole different attitude & hope for the first time in along time.I wanted to work hard & sort the mess I was in & try untangle it all & move forward.

 

I thought it was a place to help build people up but I felt intimidated.

by no means do I mean this in malice.This site & is a treasure chest with some amazing people on it.

 

But yesterday when I said about the rocks.It must of come across as wrong.Tottally different to my preception.My intention was that of a good heart & thinking of others.

Over here in the uk.people do kind things to lift others up.We had & angel knitted posted through our door.I may be unwell but that does not stop me caring for others.

It was read out of context.It was a thoughtful & kind thing to do.

The pain & distress I was in but managed to paint was a huge achievement in its self.people will see different preceptions in this.i just wanted to say I worded it wrong.

 

 

 

People May of given me labels but that does not define who I am.

It can never take away a good heart.

 

I want to get better with every cell in my body.Just as much as the next person.Like I said I came back to start afresh & work with hope.

i came away feeling defeated.Please it’s not meant as anything other than my feelings been shared.when we’re so vulnerable & fragile it’s very hard to get things across correctly.

 

I try as hard as any body on here to survive I have a little boy waiting for me.

 

i send this with love & light

Hi there Pink! 

 

I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with your skill toolbox and how you practice soothing and self-care. These interactions which were difficult for you show how much you have grown as a person because you were able to come back and defend yourself and stand your ground. 

 

I'm sure none of that was said with bad intentions but when we are fragile anything can get to us. I'm myself so sensitive and insecure at times that I just refrain from interacting with people. You are stronger than that, you go out and assert yourself.

 

The way I understood Shep's remark was not that she didn't fully appreciate kindness of your heart and the ability to think about others even when you are ailing. I understood as a remark from somebody who was caught by the system as they say and is just concerned that when we are labelled what we do often gets interpreted to our disadvantage. It was just a concern about the way things are in the world not giving you labels or not appreciating the goodness of your heart.

 

Once again I'm impressed with how much you have grown. Xxxx

Thank you, Bubble. This is exactly correct. 

 

Pink, you are a very kind and sensitive soul and everyone here wants the best for you. If we offer boundaries, please take that as support, not judgement or criticism. As Bubble wrote, the system works differently for those of us with these kinds of mental illness labels. My post was to keep you in the boundary of safety, not to dampen down your sweet gesture.

I would like to thank you shep for keeping me safe & looking out for me.

over here I live in a little town & everybody knows every body.

That day I was taken into that phye hospital was nothing like I had ever witnessed before.They warned me when I went in how unwell some people were.

 

it scared me badly.The physiatrist looked at me on day 10 & said you need to go home you don’t have a mental illness this is not the place for you.He said go home & start to rebuild your life I have 100% faith you can get through this.I was blown away.

 

you,me others on here.We aren’t defined what label we are given.They want to put us in boxes it’s there job to do so.But I don’t see you or others on her as mentally unwell.I see people with beautiful hearts & big spirts what have been let down badly.I always wanted to be “normal”like others.But do you know what I will never be.Thats ok..it’s our individualness that make us all beautiful.

 

I won’t hide for judgement from others.We have all been injured by trusting those others.

 

people may see us as broken etc but the last time I looked broken crayons still coloured beautiful pictures that goes for all of you what are labelled.

i respect you for keeping me safe but it did trigger something in me the way it was worded.We are so frigile & things do get taken out of context.

we aren’t “mentally ill” we are injured & recovering to brake those chains!So Thank you for understanding

Thank you bubble.

I didn’t mean any of it out of bad feelings it came from a place of I needed to express how I felt.

 

I am very fragile & find it like you hard to interact.I feel like I don’t fit in no where but that’s my own stuff.I guess am lost right now.

 

Not knowing how or what the heck am doing.I just know am trying to negative myself out of deep waters & I am struggling.

You know I will never forget what you said to me about my ex that day 

your on dangerous ground stay away.I never listened & you were right.It nearly cost me my life.

 

i always think I should of listened that day.But out of that I grew so much & let go.It changed me forever.

 

Out of this I want to Learn to honour that little girl in me.Its a process & very hard to do.But it’s a journey of letting go who I was & becoming some one different.

 

so thank you for replying with your kind words they mean a lot

P.b  your so welcome.There  was a couple of girls what I got friendly with they had been CT off meds.

 

They were in full blown WD...They were givin more drugs.I couldn’t bare to see it.I had to keep reassuring them they were ok it wasn’t them.I tried but they trusted what they were fed “lies”& took more drugs to stop the WD up off the CT.i just had to keep my head down in there..I even painted & old ladies nails in there for her god love her.Theres me totally lost it & I am reassuring others in there.

 

 

very scary system.

 

Honestly he said those words.Wouldnt have any of it that it was WD...but clearly stated was not mentally ill.

was on the discharge papers too for my doctor.

 

It’s all the drugs but they won’t ever admit it.

 

just been sorting out my sons valentine gift for him & hid all those painted stones in his room.

My brain is on fire with every nerve here.

 

Going to bunker down so weak.

P.b  your so welcome.There  was a couple of girls what I got friendly with they had been CT off meds.

 

They were in full blown WD...They were givin more drugs.I couldn’t bare to see it.I had to keep reassuring them they were ok it wasn’t them.I tried but they trusted what they were fed “lies”& took more drugs to stop the WD up off the CT.i just had to keep my head down in there..I even painted & old ladies nails in there for her god love her.Theres me totally lost it & I am reassuring others in there.

 

 

very scary system.

 

Honestly he said those words.Wouldnt have any of it that it was WD...but clearly stated was not mentally ill.

was on the discharge papers too for my doctor.

 

It’s all the drugs but they won’t ever admit it.

 

just been sorting out my sons valentine gift for him & hid all those painted stones in his room.

My brain is on fire with every nerve here.

 

Going to bunker down so weak.

take care & remember it’s the drugs doing this not you.

 

Thanks again pb

My doctor just rung about my Valium.So I asked what he called the rash when I went that time 

 

he said he was called Pityriasis rosea.

 

So not sure if it’s histamine or that.As My trust with doctors as gone.

 

he said it was a virus.So not sure if what he said could cause symtoms.

He said the rash lasts up 9 weeks.

no harm to try the non histamine diet anyways ,I'm nearly a week no bread, grains, legumes, butter, diary, cereal, wheat sugar[still eating fruit],basically paleo with not big portions of meat or fish .

 

At least viral doesn't need antibiotics ,mostly from what I read anyway.

Thank you I can’t have that :( 

I tried Caoco powder was a no go it’s a stimulant for me.Banannas can’t have these no more (really love bananas as well) 

but it sounds Devine.

 

I have just ordered some Oates 

(don’t want to know the cost) yikes.But am honestly sick off eggs.

 

i cannot wait to be able to eat “normal” foods again.

 

Thanks pb about the oats.will look forward to having those again

Your more than welcome.

my sons home for the weekend.His hormones are kicking in.His always angry 

i don’t know if it’s because am so ill & it’s been going on for years or if it’s hormanal.

 

slanming doors this morning & talking to bad.

 

I start thinking if I was well would he be so angry etc.This as ruined our realtionship & torn us apart quite frankly.

His my world but feel so disconnected from him!We were so so close before all this happened.I tell him all the time I love you & your my life 

but falls on deaf ears.i get confused with what’s coming up to teenage years or how much our life’s are temporary disabled.

 

i hope one day he can forgive me.

I have too forgive myself too.

you will need to seek out help in time when your up to it pink ,this doesn't help you when you blame yourself .put the energy into learning about he's "issues" rather than blaming yourself .

Take great care pink .
