What I'd like to do!

WARNING NOT FOR THE EASILY OFFENDED OR CHILD OF READING AGE BUT INNOCENT MIND You think I am critical and angry? You think I overreact? A large amount of communication I have is written, via text or email. It allows me to be more measured, and I think some people like to have evidence of conversations. Even in speech I do try to be measured. I was never a shouter really. I try incredibly hard to come across as rational and in control. I try my best to be balanced. I try to be polite. I try to be truthful. Do you know what though? Sometimes I just feel like shouting "Fuck off!" Sometimes I really feel the need to reply and really show my feelings. I want to stand and shake you whilst telling you that I am fucking pissed off and I don't deserve to be spoken to like I'm crazy, or a fucking child. I want to stamp my feet and say I don't fucking care if I upset you because you have hurt me more than you can imagine. Whilst I don't really mean it, for that split second I do. I want you to know that this is not OK. I want to say to people who helped create this jumbled brain of mine. Those who when I really had no choice used me, took advantage of me, bullied me and placed unrealistic expectations on tiny shoulders. I want to say "This is your fault and I don't forgive you." I want them to feel the guilt that I've carried round my life. To those who later have added evidence to my poor self belief, I know it was probably unintentional but sometimes I want to say "Fuck you and your lovely life and ability to not give a fuck!". I want to show you the mess behind the all together exterior. I don't like this part of me. The dark, nasty, sinful part of me I have always pushed down. Hiding so nobody knows, but now you have seen a glimpse I wonder what the point of covering it up. You see me as mad, angry, obsessive and unreasonable. Sometimes you try to hide it but you aren't as good at cover ups as me! So what I really want to say is "Fuck you. Fuck your self righteousness judgyness and holier than thou attitude. Fuck your little cliques and inside jokes. Fuck you and your perfect lives. Fuck you and your hope. Fuck you and your pretence that you care. Fuck you and your opinions of me, your assessments and your opinion on my character, sanity and opinions. Fuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck. I don't fucking care if I upset you and I don't fucking care if this makes me look fucking crazy. You have all helped me to create this mess. You all profited from nice, quiet, compliant me and you all watched me run myself into the ground. YES mostly I am to blame, biology, sense of self, bad luck but you all could have made a little difference, which may have altered one of my negative core beliefs. So Fuck off and leave me to fucking pick up the pieces. Fuck off and stop adding to the pile of shit I'm trying to brush off. I don't fucking care if it's not your fault, if you think it's for the best, you are trying to protect me or any of that bull shit. Unless you are coming to hold my hand, tell me it's hard but you love me and will not leave me even though I'm not the saintly being you once loved, and actually have the balls to keep that promise, then you can FUCK OFF!!! Only of course I don't say that. Maybe I would feel better if I did. Maybe you'd see that I cannot take anymore of this. Maybe you'd think before you add one more tiny straw onto my back, one more tiny nudge towards the edge of the cliff. Then again you'd think hanging from a fence on a cold, damp October evening may have summed up these sentiments more succinctly. Normal service will resume shortly.

Tomorrow a Poem.

Tomorrow is a new day, Full of new promises, When you rush through the day, Tomorrow is always there to say, Don't worry tomorrow it can be done, Tomorrow we can try again. Tomorrow's exciting promise, Every morning when you wake. A bit more time to finish today. More time to play They say Don't leave till tomorrow, Why you can do today. Sometimes tomorrow seems the same. Tomorrow is so different from today. No joy before you settle down, Tomorrow you'll still feel like you'll drown. What if tomorrow never came? What if today was the end. Would you regret the things you put off? Would you ponder if that phonecall, That text, that knock on the door, Shouldn't have been tomorrow's chore? Would you beg for another tomorrow? Would you mourn your yesterday. Today someone needs you. That phone call can't wait. A chat, a cuddle, a hand to hold, Responding may mean more than gold. So don't put it off, don't delay. Someone...

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is not new to me. When I was in 6th form and was suffering huge family upheaval (3 house moves in years, new baby, new step dad, new siblings, contact issues with birth father, mother with severe postnatal depression and step dad going (successfully) back to rehab) the school nurse was asked to help me with my anxiety levels. She talked me through what I later learned (10 years later) was a mindfulness body scan. I was reminded of this whenever I met an anxious mother and would talk them through this meditation. One day, whilst myself working as a school nurse I came across the nurse who taught me this technique. She didn't remember me, and was now working in mental health. A mother praised how I had helped her with relaxation techniques in a meeting we were both attending. I admitted after the meeting that it was this lady who had taught me when I was 17 and anxious. I revisited relaxation during my first pregnancy. Hideous hyperemesis     consumed me...

Good deeds or Prayer?

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (James 2:14 to 17) We know that we are saved by grace alone but sometimes our prayers are not enough. Our works are how God shows His love through us as Christians. I'm drawn to the parable of the Good Samaritan. I cannot fathom how mature, educated and usually servant hearted Christians can excuse physically turning away from a suffering church member. I am truly trying to understand how this action can be seen as loving, biblical or even humane. Removing previous support and care in a time of great trial and need. It is not God I am questioning. It is that this decision is accepted by...
