Hi all @tonys @Former-Member @StanD @LeChuck 

Been feeling a bit sick 

How are U all? Wandering if I'm going sane or insane ....have some strong feelings and thoughts about having enough of the MH system tbh 

I am interlocked in disagreement with my team on many things and I feel like my private Dr isn't listening to me. I showed up super late and didn't get any support and I'm vulnerable now, alone , and I realise I'm sick of this advocacy.

I'm reading all ur posts and U are truthful to who you are, which is all there is really, you are strong and very amazing.

I like you all.

Hi @EternalFlower 

Feeling sick is not good. You will become well.

You wrote a week ago 'at times there is no choice but to accept abuse.' I was thinking about this.

My treating team are not where I want them to be either. I have made it crystal clear what my needs are. I'm at the point where I refuse to repeat myself.

Where does this leave me?

I have no choice but to accept abuse.

You are a wonderful person. I know you are kind & good, & deserve better.

If you ever want to talk. I'm here for you friend.

I like you too 😊

@Former-Member   Thankyou for your letter and I hope  mine finds you in good spirits.   Ploughed  the sorgum  paddock, then knocked of for siesta and plough through a few posts.  Good reading.   I like this air , sea land thing. .      You wrote, .  . . others sea us differently,    Mate, I shudder to think what they think of me.  Sometimes   I just take my biggest paint brush,  put, a big slash across the white paper,  post it before checking,   and when I read it, I don't even know what it means.  So,  back to the canvas.   Evaluate peoples feed back and represent my image.   The end game is to change it to,. . .  'some' ,. .  ....others see us differently.   Most won't.    I don't want to win the elections.  Just A friend or two that dance on the same thorns I do. . .   and there out there  somewhere.

I changed how some folk see me.  More than effort,   It took compromise. . .   And then there are rest that will never sit on my bus,  Good solid nice people. .    they just happen to like a different bus.

Anyway,    I do like the way you construct Ideas and your always thinking.    Makes me put down my glass and have a good old read and think.

Thankyou  Motion. . . .     nice boat you got here.            tonys    moon base 1

@EternalFlower   Hi there my friend.    I have seen you exploring with new friends and given you space.   Saw you tagged me so I just wanted to say I'm always on your side mate.   I hope that Your health care workers recognise that failing punctuality,  can be a symptom and a warning sign.    Now I am not great with things of this nature but I have a sneaky feeling about a couple of folk that will get right into this with you when they see your letter.    I am just here to say I am here for a yarn, or a distraction from dark doors when you need it.    And you are a very good soul.

Like you too @EternalFlower! you're strong an amazing as well!!! Sounds like you're having a shitty time at the moment. Is there anyone on your team who you feel like can advocate for you and help you sort out the rest of your team?

My day is ok, few ups and downs but I'm hanging in there 🙂 you keep hanging in there too eternal! You're strong and amazing and you can handle this

Hello @tonys @Former-Member @EternalFlower & everyone 

Hello @LeChuck welcome. I like you supporting eternalflower. Thankyou. Good call on the punctuality @tonys between all of us we might make a functional human being!

I have been behind in reply to you @Former-Member a few mixed feelings there. Not sure what else to say right now. I don't want you to make you feel bad in any way. Only expressing honesty mate 

@tonys what did I want to say to you? Now, I forget. Oh, I'm happy, I'm nervous.

There is something else I want to say. I can't find it. Hang on.

Oh good I found it. Can you do me a solid? Will you look after mama pig for me? She will be exhausted with 8 new babies. Sing to her. She will love it & you will give strength. She is probably having all those new mum emotions. She might have mood swings with the hormones. Play her a soft gentle song on your guitar. I think she will love it. She will really love it.

Write to me later please, if you have any words to unload... Or find... Or give to me.

Are good solid people really on the other bus?

Unlikely... It's possible, perhaps? But why wouldn't they like you? Are you not good & solid? I think you are.

Hi @StanD thank you I feel lucky to have had a connection here and support from such a kind person

There is a lot of horrible treatment in the MH system and there no two ways about it. I am voluntary so I think I could leave if I don't like it...I often think of leaving. But then what ? I don't know. I get neglected regularly and told off in the system and have probably developed more anxiety through use of the system. Frankly, it is awful.

I hear you re not wanting to repeat yourself. You're completely right. You made yourself clear and asked for your needs. You communicated. We are still left without our rights respected.

They tell us to ask and speak up and be assertive which we do but that's not the reason... 

My treating team never communicates to each other and everything is forgotten. Sometimes I break in pieces and feel I can't cope then I blame myself, I'm not organised or remembering correctly. As if I could fix them...it's hard not to blame yourself. I need to practise being more assertive but know that there is a responsibility on them to make the space safe for me. Sending solidarity

I just found this response @tonys 

where you say

Never get stranded in a place, time or thought. Collisions are then inevitable. With each comes new wisdom.

Yes. Someone gets me! You are speaking my language 

Feels so good not to have to justify myself.

I love that phrasing.

Somewhere else you mentioned that you would love to join the band of mariners.

Our pirate ship come plane come car that travels everywhere.

 From one mind to another.

I see that you know @EternalFlower 

which helps you as well Eternal. I hope that you don’t mind me calling you that. I have an image of you in my mind.

Welcome Tony’s to our crew.

Post away.

Keep on moving Rawhide.
