New boy, eh?
Tell me were you trained in the Adolf Hitler school of healthcare?
You clearly think my mind is your property
One in ten of you have heard the word compassion
The rest, I wouldn't piss on if you were alight
Just me and you, behind closed doors
You must be fucking joking if you think I'll ever shut up about this
I'll not rest until your profession is abandoned, humiliated and bereft
In the meantime, I have better things to do than this
See you in three months

    empowered words... :thumbup:

    My experience
    disappointing at best and where is the heart?

    How can you ever even think to help someone when you can not feel them?
    My experience
    left us cold

    Sad but it's just a job to most, a person just a thing ... detached

    when people need much more

    My experience
    my people
    needed much much more

    Routine appointment, got a new guy in his twenties. Awful, power crazed ill informed fools. Stirred up a lot of feelings - that poem was kind of an aggregate of my feelings towards them over the years. I probably best not dwell on it too much, I feel like committing violence.

    Yeah I know Pandi - where is the heart? Your people needed more, deserved better. Everyone they meet, everyone they 'treat' deserves better.


    (have edited some of this out - I don't really want to get into Moving Train territory, I have some opinions, but I'm not sure this is the place for them - some other time!)

    be well, friend tremors

    write your way out
    meaning...

    create your own world so to speak. dangerous? some believe so. can you stay there forever? yeah you could. but you gotta come out every once in awhile to function in this society we're in. i do not do well here in normal society horse shit-ville. i do well in "chadwick realm". i live and breathe my way, i stay quiet and associate with few people and am hidden most days. i do not understand the outside world, the world beyond my skin. the distance to the earth is known, true. but pollution, war, slayings and species ceasing to exsist, onward and so forth...no.

    can i function in day to day life? barely.

    i guess writing is from inside out

    Actually Chad, the writing I have done here has helped me a lot - getting some of the anger, confusion, and emotion out - then looking at it and reflecting on it. I think I first started writing in the poetry section around 18 months ago or something - and that has been a good period in the rest of my life, being well, being in work. I'm sure the writing has helped. And sometimes the writing has enabled me to give a voice to the slightly more altered states of thinking - the parts that there is no place for in society currently.

    Funnily enough, when I was writing that 'Reverence' thread, although there weren't many pieces in it in total, each one got me to reflect on a different part of my experience, and started to become the basis for some ideas for work, some more radical anti-establishment stuff (my work focuses on improving mental health services these days - policy, writing etc). The creative writing in that thread really sharpened up my own thinking about the system and my experience of it - and that has been informing my work. So, the writing here helps me I think - and like you say, you can create your own world away from the external forces in your life.

    I don't miss this at all, I do however miss the meds.
    Peace, Love.

    (edited out some stuff on meds - this subject would probably need a longer discussion - and I try and avoid those when I come here. In fact, I think this thread has pretty much run its course - I just wanted to get some stuff out of my system - and that has been done :D. Thanks all )
