we're writing a lot at the moment, just started a creative writing course at a local mental health center. It kind of helps. Just dropped by to say hello and wish everyone well.
You are talking to: Kat The Others are: Annabell (Belle), Rosie, Lotty, Kate, Amy, Jessica (Jess), Sarah, Ramiel(Miel), Elizabeth (Liz), Shadow
Hi Sarah and Kat! Haven't seen both of you in a while.

Things have calmed down a lot in here lately. It probably has something to do with yesterday. I read a children's book to the little ones, and it really helped soothe everyone. Doing fine, just dropping by to see how everyone else is doing.
My name is Matt, and I am a boy. Feel free to PM me :)
I have learned that the world is not a safe place. Not at all. But there are so many people who love me and want to keep me safe. And that is enough.
Hazel, I hope it works out for you and you get somewhere. First thing, once you get somewhere, in London might be to register with your local library, where you get free internet.
I'm here, out NW, if there's any way I can help, within what I can do. Like if you need someone to come with you to the council office re housing or whatever, and I'm free at the time. I have done some of that kind of advocacy when I volunteered for Tower Hamlets Women's Aid crisis refuge.
Have you thought about contacting Shelter?
I;ve contacted anyone and everyone lol. Problem is none can understand why A) I can't move in with my parents, and B) why I can't stay in Aberdeen. I explin the situration over and over again but noone can ever seem to understand it, they all think that either my parents will take me in and I'm being awkward or that I can stay in Aberdeen as I don't need Jack for suppport so the fact he'll be 500miles away doesn't matter...
Don't they understand that parents can be abusive and rejecting, and that you need to be close to someone who does actually care about you, especially when you have a chronic and severe mental illness?
I would have thought that it was human nature to understand that!
Since when did council housing workers have the 'right' to say that kind of thing? They're not even therapists.
Hmm.
I'm pretty sure that kind of thing isn't congruent with their code of ethics.
probably not. Usually I would complain about that sort of thing, but at the moment having to prioratise other things. Got their name though so if I get everyting else sorted I will complain about them
peepls no undrstan hed problims veri good and it scares tem, so tay ratr ignor it. it no fayr but..pepls can no undrstan it an tey no wana tri undrstan .
I know you've been in and out of mental health services but are there any professionals that could write a letter explaining both your situation with your parents and the fact that your mental illness will get much worse if you are ot near someone who can support you? you should be classified as having a disability, and to dismiss that is discrimination here.
To be honest I'm not even stressed abbout it all anymore or anything... think just accepted the whole thing nd given up caring lol.
But ye my ex-psych is meant to be writting a letter I was also refered to the worlds most useless social worker who essentially suggested that I go into hospital rather than look for somewhere to live
meh, it will be ok. I be a surviving machine lol, things always work in the end. Main reason I got so stressed over it is that every time things start to go wrong I fear that they will go back to how things used to be, but I know that is irrational so trying to rationalise it away

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been around. I'm in France and have limited access to the internet.
Hazel I hope you're able to find somewhere to live soon.
Ayka's come out a few times on holiday, but no one's noticed... She hasn't said anything, think she's just observing everyone else without me getting in the way. Emotions have been all over the place, finding it hard to stay stable.

well when i was in the hospital, the social workers did help people find places to live. where i went was short term mental hospital, but I do know for a fact that they make sure people have a place to live or help them find a place to live before they leave. because there was a patient there who they were doing that for. perhaps they are wanting you to go for that reason, maybe it is easier to help you find a place for you live by taking that route. gl hon Hiding
My therapist pretty much confirmed things re my Others today. It wasn't a diagnosis, but a pretty clear description of their, well, reality. How they're not, well, me, though we share a body.
So, yeah.

That sounds like a good step at least :) how do you feel about it?
I think I may be developing a bit of an alcohol relapse... over the last 2 weeks I have sort of been sneeking drinks without Jack's knowledge but ignoring the sign that it could mean bad stuff... but today Jack caught me, and we had an argument, and that's made me realise that maybe it could be bad thing... so trying to "nip it in the bud" as it were
