Not Coping

[Blackbird11]

It's an opportunity for me to do something positive with my lived experience @Birdofparadise8  

A teacher once told me, " freedom is what you do with what's been done to you."

I have a heart to give and to encourage.

[Birdofparadise8]

That sounds wonderful @Blackbird11 

If we were talking about lived experience, would you be open to sharing anything with me or not? Please let me know if you don't want to discuss any of this, and we can talk about something else. 

[Blackbird11]

As far as lived experience goes the community guidelines won't allow me to go into specific detail. What I can tell you is I've experienced childhood and adult trauma and I am Schizoaffective with C-PTSD @Birdofparadise8 

[Birdofparadise8]

Is Schizoaffective schizophrenia and bipolar @Blackbird11. I don't know much about it. 

[Blackbird11]

What is schizoaffective disorder? - Mind This could clear things up @Birdofparadise8 

[Birdofparadise8]

Ah okay, I'm following now @Blackbird11 

That must be hard. Are things getting better now?

[Blackbird11]

This sums up where I am at @Birdofparadise8 

 

[Birdofparadise8]

I'll have a look when I can see it @Blackbird11. 

Do you work at all? 

What are you doing for the weekend? 

[Birdofparadise8]

I hope you're at a good point in your recovery @Blackbird11 

It's definitely not linear; I need to work on relsing that. 

One good thing I haven't had any SI since being discharged and still going strong there. 

[Blackbird11]

That's really good to hear @Birdofparadise8, It definitely is not linear. I am currently finding it hard to be grounded. I need to implement some self-care strategies. I currently work casually as a home care assistant in the community. I plan to study and go to a flower show Sunday. Do you have any plans?
