@Former-MemberThank you very much for acknowledging me and my points, as a person and as "authority" in the forum. Some people might feel reassured reading "you are not alone" ... and it might lead to ideas of whom to contact. I dont take the "you" personally, but I think I am still struggling from the event which happened with my last psychologist, so feeling unsupported from a person who can discuss psychological issues with me. SO at times it can trigger a great sense of all the times I have been utterly alone dealing with all these things from an early age. That sense could outrage, or as I am writing, it could be resilience, but I cannot take my resilience for granted, as it can trigger quickly to elaborate SI and has today.
@NatureLover Thank you for picking up on my post. It has taken 30 years. For 15 years, I was an unrecognised carer, just the sister, but I did care. Not sure what I am doing wrong for it to take so long, but I do feel genuine supports. I have recently gone onto NDIS.
@Former-MemberI can imagine you have been selective. Its great that you can speak up about MI issues in social scenarios, its a step in the right direction. When I moved to this house I was selective and tried your approach, but it did not go down well. I just did not have the social capital. So mostly shut up and got on with parenting and teaching. Though with myself and my son in last 5 years. Ambulances etc in street and trauma just too front and centre to hide. It spilled out. Neighbours knew. I have really tried to be balanced and not overstretch the services, just get support for myself or my son, (or in the past for my brother or sister as needed).
Dear @Shaz51 Hugs and thanks. Maybe I am little like Mr Shaz now.
I am logging off to some self care now.
