Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Evening @Meowmy sorry to hear things are tough for you right now. It’s really good you are recognising your warning signs though, I wonder if you are able to schedule an appointment with one of your health professionals as-well for added support during this time? 🙏☀️

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Chasingsunsets good idea. Will call my GP.

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Meowmy Yes i learned that in the end as well prevention is so very much better than months of  struggling bad times.🤗

 

Do you find it also hard to know when your fears are your paranoia or real fears?  i realised it was paranoia taking hold of my fears that confused the issues so much for me.

 

@Jynx @Chasingsunsets @Glisten @MissGremlin 

i really struggled with anxiety for many years in my life. To face fears that are unrealistic to happen at the time it happens, resisting, even for seconds at first, is how i learned to deal with my anxiety fuelling fear thoughts. 

 

Hard lessons learned!🤗

 

Fear Holds Fast,
Fear grabs hold with hot iron grip
evil thoughts quick confusion sowing
birthing me terrorising conditions
harvesting my own faithless heart.

All my doubts and unbelief's peaking.
Hopes and dreams torching the flames!
Daily goals a catastrophe unfolding!
Earthquakes shattering my defences.

Feeling that loveless grip ramming.
Cruel enemies rejoice an easy victory!
Advancing through my broken gates.
with me watching the fires burning!

i am a mess inside my dwelling place.
Terrors cast hair raising shadows.
My fears fuelling every insecurity.
Shamefully exposing weakness.

Paranoid voice good life plundering.
Scorching torches lie me darkness.
Roasting me freaking me for dinner.
My life serving the wicked feasting.

My friends, My friends do i thirst!
For i forsook my own loving truth.
Believing those lies hurting me badly.
Will i ever learn seeing self only true?

My friends, My friends do i thirst!
For i forsook my own loving truth.
Believing those lies hurting me badly
Will i ever learn seeing myself only true?

 

 

Wrote a poem about this once

 

                     Hey Untrue!
 
                             See…
                             hear…
                             feel…?
 
                             do. do. do.
                          have. have. have.
                        take. take. take.
 
                     silencing all who oppose 
                   breeding deep in the dark,
                 feeding on all that you drain—
 
                        what is it all for?
 
                  your core of corruption—
                         you call it life?
 
                who built you?
             who pays for your becoming?
          why spend the time you’re given
             on egos already decaying?
 
                (morning after morning—
                  you fade a little more.)
 
                              rule…
                           rule…
                        rule…
 
                  arrogance crowns each breath
 
                        fear.
                        guilt.
                        shame.
 
                 goodness driven into hiding
               innocence fractured and taken
              honesty buried under your weight
 
            addiction reigning, violence stalking,
          desire turned weapon against the self—
 
              you call this freedom?
 
           run. hide. mask.
        lie upon lie upon lie—
 
     bending truth, pulling strings,
    puppets dancing in your shadow
 
   cowards waiting in silence
  for innocence to pass by—
 
      which face do you wear now?
      where will you hide at the end?
      do your answers fear the light?
 
             curse. swear. yell.
 
        virtue on the tongue—
             rot in the core
 
     twisting. choking. suffocating.
        until the voice goes silent
 
              and care falls away
 
                   T W I S T
                   S W E R V E
                   S T R I K E
 
                the tongue ignites—
 
                       N O W
 
               —————————————
             ————————————————
           ———————————————— 
        ————————————————

     D E C E I T
     D E T O N A T I O N
 
        lies explode outward
         light dimmed within
       innocence consumed
 
          how long—
       before silence?
 
        you drain what life offers
     falling stars burn out
 
  but when truth breaks through—
 
     L I G H T
 
  what power remains?
 
    no more believing you
    no more losing myself
 
        OUT.
 
  OUT OF MY LIFE—
       ALL OF YOU
 
     no more lies
     no more chains
 
        clarity—
         my ground
 
         burn…
       burn…
     burn…
 
     the fire you lit
       consumes you
 
        as for me—
 
           I rise
 
          free
 
     no fear remaining
 
   a clear light within
 
      alive. restored.
        walking true
 
         until nothing false remains

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Chasingsunsets hey there, is spoke with my GP. He was nice. He said its not paranoid as the previous mentor ask for more money after not giving back the money he borrowed. It is realistic worry. GP said i am not going into psychosis but just very stressed. 

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

I hope the chat with you GP helped @Meowmy

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Chasingsunsets thank you for support. Chat with GP does help.
