As well as being Crazy, i am Also Dyslexic and Dyscalculic. As you can imagien this little bargin basement mix keeps me more than a little busy, and my brain keeps short circuiting. This is something i am pondering because i am once again entering The bewildering world of the word. Yes The Essay Deadlines are beckoning again, and i for one, do not have a bloody clue what article of the Convention of human rights to use to protect Joe Blogs from the pug monsters of thung. Seriously tho, the...

I received a letter today telling me I am about to have my water supply disconnected as nobody lives at my address, and has not for quite some time. Why then, do they send a letter in the first place, and secondly why was it sent to me with MY NAME AT THE TOP OF IT? Now, I am rather easy to confuse at the best of times, but this one really threw me, so I did what any reasonable person would do. I ignored it for a whole hour, and got so annoyed at the intrusion that I...

The mailbox of Certain Doom - Advertisers beware

feeds@yuku.com (LilleboyLost) — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 22:16:59 GMT

The wrold is a very strange place, and i am scared of many things, but for the life of me, i never thought the small brass slot in my door would do such terrible things to my silly head. My mailbox is beginning to scare me, as it has started to do rather strange things. I can pick my mail up in the morning, and make it half way up the stairs from the main door and into my flat, and then the madness begins...

I am beginning to wonder if you have to have some kind of weird antisocial...

I am about to take my driving test on Friday. I went to a wildlife project for the first time on Sunday, and spent nearly 6 hours cutting down Sycamore, I am due to start a maths course on the 12th September, and I'm due to sign up for the European Computer Driving License course soon. I go to two groups, a drop in centre, and I'm going to a open day for Police special volunteers on Monday as part of a back to work scheme. Also I'm changing over from one tranquilizer to another. Oh, and I've...

Mother - Parents

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 06:21:12 GMT

I was told by my Mother that I was always "not right", even as a baby. She sent me to a District Nurse for 3 months because I cried a lot, but oh she came and saw me twice a week! She said as a teenager I spent a lot of time in my room, and hardly came out. Yes, because she was an emotionally abusive and negletful Mother, but she said yesterday, "I never did anything bad to you". Yes right, of course you didn't!

I have just got out of an emotionallly abusive...

Transactional Analysis

I started seeing a TA therapist today after seeing a Person Centred one for over a year. Very different and very hard, but I wish I had done it years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain and money.

Barriers To Opening Up

feeds@yuku.com (INTENARI) — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 16:53:12 GMT

I thought I'd start this thread as I am very aware of how self-conscious I get at times posting (especially after it's done - I am the 'Edit' option's Number One Fan!!) I don't think I am alone in this, either... And it's not just about the Forum, it applies to the World Outside in general, too....

Anyone share any of these (often self-imposed) 'barriers'?
They're not in any particular priority order... and none of mine are due in any way to responses from others on here, who have...

Do I Have To Try to End My Life To Get Help From The NHS?

feeds@yuku.com (MoreHolesthanaFlute) — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 00:18:45 GMT

I'm male, 32 and been SI-ing (cutting) on and off for almost 20 years.
Historically more off than on although these past 2 years it's got quite frequent.
Had a hard time in February this year, after much deliberating, finally went to see my GP for the first time in my life.
I thought at the time I'd done the right thing but he seemed to just concentrate on the physical effects of my SI. He referred me to a Specialist Consultant within the Mental Health department. Two weeks later...

Tsuru, the crane's story

feeds@yuku.com (itezuru) — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 14:26:14 GMT

"Behold your namesake Tsuru the crane
In the heart of winter she folds one leg
and buries her head under a wing
moving not a muscle

That is what it means to survive on courage alone

Itezuru the frozen crane
that desperate struggle is her beauty

She doesnt resist,
she doesnt complain
She relies on herself
drawing out the last ounce of strength

Is that not the way of all who truly follow their hearts ?"

CAMHS team - seeing your notes

feeds@yuku.com (MissiSnowWhite) — Sat, 09 Dec 2006 23:08:29 GMT

I was wondering if anyone here seen the CAMHS (child and adolecent mental health service) team at any point in their life and if you have, have you ever obtained a copy of you file/notes??

I'm 20 now and seen them for about 2 years until I was 18 and I'm now wondering if its possible to get a copy of my notes.

I heard from one person that they keep your file until your 25 and then they get destroyed. Anyone know anything about this?

I really hope I can get a copy...

I need to say this - to make you understand. I'm not talking to people who don't self-harm. I'm talking to people who do. I used to, and now I consider myself an ex-self-harmer. I want my story to give you the hope I now feel.

I was a self harmer from a young age; my friend introduced me to it I think. We were part of a group that did things for what we...

How I reached the stage i'm at.

feeds@yuku.com (lizcon) — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 22:31:27 GMT

From the age of 13 I had terrible mood swings. I would get violent, abusive, aloof. Smoke a lot. I put it down to my age, as most people would. The teenage years! I messed around at school feeling I wasn't clever enough and I was bullied. At that time I was verbally, physically, emotionally and psychologically bullied by the 4 other members of my family. I had only 1 friend as I was banished to my room most of the time being punished for something or other.
We moved to another...

Early Intervention services

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 12:28:08 GMT

I am doing research on peoples views who have experienced early intervention services for psychosis from the NHS. I am conducting this research so it can be understood how these services can help or how they can be improved. So if anyone is happy to share their experience please reply to me.

Many thanks,
