Writing As A Form Of Therapy

[NikNik]

Hi @PeppiPatty

It doesn't look like the link you posted is working. It looks like it's something from Youtube. One thing you could try and choosing 'Insert a video', which is across the top when you're replying to a post. Here is a picture to help:

If you press that then you can just copy & paste the link from youtube in there.

Have a try & let me know how you go.

Hey, it's great to have a passion like you have with writing. I do a lot of journaling to unravel my thoughts it's my private place where I can say what I want. I would like to find a passion though that I could share! i shall ponder this! Bye

I so hate my parents and siblings. I hate them so much.

Write a poem about it @BlueBay ? Write a poem to express how you feel ? And another one about running away ?

It's a great way to vent, get all those feelings out there on paper, or on the screen !!! Creativity is healing, I think it is a bit like crying from your heart instead of your eyes, and I think it would do you a lot of good to give it a try. It doesn't have to rhyme. It doesn't have to be anything you don't want it to be, because it's yours !!!!

And then maybe take you dog for a good long walk on the beach ? Let the wind and the waves speak to your heart with their healing ways as well ?

I wish I was there an could come for that walk with you .... maybe you can tell me about it, and I can share in it with you that way ?

Big hugs ❤❤❤

My Family ....

It's hard to think that my life is this way

I don't know why you treated me your way

i hate you for what you said

but then you have nothing in your head

I cry each and every single day

that i can't see my dad this way

it hurts me so much

but i can see you're in no rush

to see me

I just wish i had siblings that loved me too

but i guess they listened to you

it breaks my heart that i don't see them

so it's just me and no one else

I can't explain the pain I'm in

and the parts that hurts me is not seeing

someone special to me

I'm so angry about you

I want to scream, punch, hit and cry

for i have done nothing wrong

but you always think you are right

well i don't care about what you think

I need to be alone

and think of life

i just don't want to talk

i wish i could have you all as friends

and get together

i need to feel the love

i need to be hugged

because at home i am alone

even though i have my own family

it must seem strange to you all

but this is my life

I am sorry i need to go

i feel like crying, my heart is aching

i just need to go

I am crying for you @BlueBay.   Your poetry is so powerful.  I can hear how much it hurts you, but now some of it is out on the page.

That will leave a little more space in your heart to receive love, and there is lots flowing to you from here.  You have so many friends here @BlueBay.  Let us help to comfort you ....

Big hugs ❤️❤️❤️

I hope you go for that walk on the beach, with the wind in your hair.  Your dog must love the walks with you too.

This wave of feeling will pass @BlueBay.  It will pass over you.  Wait for that to happen.  It will go back down to a lower level.  Feelings come in waves like that.  Maybe you can write another poem when this wave has died down and you are beathing a bit more easily again.

I hope you write a lot more poetry.  If this is how powerful your sad poetry is, I imagine your calmer poetry will be powerful too.

i would love to hear a poem about your dog.  What colour is he ?  Large or small ?  Can we know his name ?

I am wishing you well @BlueBay.  

Big hugs ❤️❤️❤️

Hi @PeppiPatty

That doesn't work either 😞

You can simply copy & paste the URL . I think you're going to 'Share' then 'embed' but all you need to do is go to 'Share' and copy that URL.

Does that help?

tired after another battle

the sun setting again

looking for peace and silence

but in comes a silent cacophony

that bounces around my skull

jagged and fierce thoughts

followed by sharper meanings,

fears and imaginings,

memories uncovered

so the battle continues renewed.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope.  I didn't mean for you to cry 😞

I'm just angry because of what happened today in my session.  I was expecting a different answer from him, i wanted him to support me and say yes i will admit you but he didn't.  he explained that he wants me to face my problems and with his help find solutions; instead of wanting to run away or go into hospital as a way of avoiding my problems.  I do understand (sort of) what he is saying, but it doesn't help when i want time to myself that he says no.

The wave of horrible emotion is subsiding.  I ended up going to the chemist to drop my new sleeping med script.  i didn't end up for a walk. but i have had lots of cuddles from my dog.  By the way my dog is a black and white kelpie named jersey.  she is so affectionate, will cry when i come home from work and runs up the stairs to greet me when i get home.  you can imagine how excited she was to see us after we came back from our holiday.

You know @Faith-and-Hope i don't think my poems are that great, i just write from my heart and how i feel at the time.  but yes i will write a poem about jersey. i will do that now, good idea.

take care @Faith-and-Hope, you are a great support to me, thank you xxxooo
