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.

Moderator Emeritus bubble Posted February 13, 2019 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted February 13, 2019 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.

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.

pinkfairy Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 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 First AD when i was 19.Binge drinker/drugs 15 years weekend use.I was always pulled on and off.2005-2007-Mirtapine 45mg CT. 2010-2016 Paxil 40mg + Zopiclone.Jan-2016 i was CT off Paxil.Stopped alcohol Jan 2016.Given 2-4mg of Diazepam April 2016 CT them after 3 month.They reinstated 8mg of Diazepam July 2016 and the Doctor CT me off Zopiclone the same day.They then tried adding all different drugs Mirt one of them at 15mg (i took 7.5mg).I was tapered August 2016 7.5mg.Sep 2016 7mg.Oct 2016 6mg.Tried 1mg of Paxil-stopped after 2 days.Nov 2016 5.5mg.Tried olanzapine @2.5mg (stopped after a week)Dec 2016-5mg.Tried switching to liquid Jan-March 2017 (no good)back to pills.April 2017-4.75mg of Diazepam June 2017 -4.5mg.July 2018 went inpatient for 10 days.Awakening 4 days later.HELD.Sep 2017 4.3mg Dec 2017-4mg (Held)April 2019- started tapering the Mirtazapine.Sep 2019 at 6mg of Mirtazapine (HELD)Stopped smoking CT after 26 years.10.16.19..Restarted the Diazepam taper Jan 2020 micro tapering (game changer) now 18/7/23 @0.052mg Diazepam + Mirtazapine @6mg.

Xxxx 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 First AD when i was 19.Binge drinker/drugs 15 years weekend use.I was always pulled on and off.2005-2007-Mirtapine 45mg CT. 2010-2016 Paxil 40mg + Zopiclone.Jan-2016 i was CT off Paxil.Stopped alcohol Jan 2016.Given 2-4mg of Diazepam April 2016 CT them after 3 month.They reinstated 8mg of Diazepam July 2016 and the Doctor CT me off Zopiclone the same day.They then tried adding all different drugs Mirt one of them at 15mg (i took 7.5mg).I was tapered August 2016 7.5mg.Sep 2016 7mg.Oct 2016 6mg.Tried 1mg of Paxil-stopped after 2 days.Nov 2016 5.5mg.Tried olanzapine @2.5mg (stopped after a week)Dec 2016-5mg.Tried switching to liquid Jan-March 2017 (no good)back to pills.April 2017-4.75mg of Diazepam June 2017 -4.5mg.July 2018 went inpatient for 10 days.Awakening 4 days later.HELD.Sep 2017 4.3mg Dec 2017-4mg (Held)April 2019- started tapering the Mirtazapine.Sep 2019 at 6mg of Mirtazapine (HELD)Stopped smoking CT after 26 years.10.16.19..Restarted the Diazepam taper Jan 2020 micro tapering (game changer) now 18/7/23 @0.052mg Diazepam + Mirtazapine @6mg.

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.
