Thankyou, that's a really sweet comment. I'm not so amazing, I haven't written at all recently, I think I have a bit of writer's block, I wrote these last year when I was in inpatient therapy. Also I think my poems come across better than they actually are because of the iambic pentameter, I have no false illusions! - but hey-ho, it makes them easy to read and I like making rhymes . Hope all ok with you, lots of love and thank you for the lovely words you sent my way xxx
You are amazing. If you have any more to share, I'd love to see them.
I know what you mean about writers block. I used to write a lot and now I'm stuck!

I'm stuck too! Nice to have a partner in stuckness! Actually I think its because recently my emotions have beeen swinging so much one way or the other, I haven't had any 'middle ground' in which to think. Which is probably because in 'real life' (ie out of the 24 hour bubble that is inpatient therapy) its difficult to find a middle-ground where you can centre your brain enough to take a cerebral view rather than a purely emotional one which never works. I am completely whittering here - sorry! Thanks for your really nice words - I do have more poems somewhere but I need to find them! Lots of love xxx
I totally get what you mean though, I think it's been one of my problems. I do sometimes/often write poetry when I'm all emotional but stuff that doesn't make a lot of sense! xx
Your work is amazing Hun! You should be really proud of these. My friend has an ED and I may show her your related poem, I think she will appreciate it. (no more than I do mind ^_^) She tells me a lot about what goes on in her head and you have illustrated it wonderfully. Well done for recovering. And I know what you mean with writers block. I think I only write when I'm literally in the pits! xx
"I want to be magic. I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile. I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. Or under a hill. I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic."

Thanks for that, I really really hope your friend is getting good treatment and is able to get through the illness. A friend of mine just relapsed and was sectioned the other day, it's heartbreaking xxx
Wow - I love your poems, and how they flow. The use of words is good too. Really created a picture in my head. Would love to read more? I write too, and totally understand the writers block - I've been like that for weeks its terrible, when all I want to do is put pen to paper and get everything out. Well done.
The worst thing about depression — the thing that makes people phobic about it — is that it’s a foretaste of death. It’s a trip to the country of nothingness. Reality loses its substance and becomes ghostly, transparent, unbelievable. This perception of what’s outside infects the perception of the self, which explains why depressed people feel they aren’t “there.” -Chase Twichell

Thankyou Tracy, that's really nice of you to say. I think I'm going to do some writing tomorrow, this has been one hell of a year and while I prefer to write in retrospect I think I need some catharsis that isn't damaging to my health and won't make my Christmas wardrobe 'long-sleeve' problem even worse! I'd love to see some of your writing too, have you posted any up? Xx
Your welcome. I havent posted any of my poetry I'm afraid - I may one day, but when I'm ready :) I shall keep an eye out for some more of your poerty then. xx

really like these poems, enjoyed reading them - you are talented. x
“Never lose faith in yourself,
and never lose hope;
remember, even when this world throws its worst and then turns its back,
there is still always hope.”
. Hope all ok with you, lots of love and thank you for the lovely words you sent my way xxx
