Blog Subject:  Anxiety 1

The creative process

me

I feel forced, A Psychotic ride. imbalances. Justifications stretched within the middle.. A conspiracy against self. Its a Schizoid illusion.

--------------------------

The creative process creates anxiety

The creative process forces me back into the Psychotic front lines. lives that force me to dissociate. So going into the art world is like going into a war. Everything gets triggered, and Im reminded that if I cant get through the art process because of the traumas, Im back where I started from. This makes everything really really tuff... Yet, Im tuff. I will tuff it out . Reorganize , go at it again and again and again.. Trust God on my knees and keep going..

Its not about the creative process anymore. Its about the dedication to the production. That is the more mature part of all of it. The preparation for the audience to believe it is of high worth. The polish. The shine. That is the dedicated manageable adult. Not all of my alters agree...

I cant spend more then a few minutes into it. Anxiety from PTSD, Alters, Protectors, people outside of me, people inside of me. The creative process creates anxiety.

Do I accept it, do I run from it.

Their is a still small voice to create. This is the innocent child.

The quest of artistic ownership goes on..

I feel like Im 6 years old. lies,,fake smile and abandon wait for me outside.

The Forest, Christmas trees

Im all alone.!

Im from the Psychiatric class.

---------------------------------------
abandon

Its always burning,

Not so light at times.

Its always burning

------------------------------------------------------------

If I could finish a project, what would it look like...


Monsters

I think the monsters are protectors that are heading out to battle. The real world. Dancing in the real world. Dying in the real world. Living in the real world. All of life is a Television..

people

I get stuck

-----------------------------------------------------------

Answer of manageability:

I simply take breaks: Call someone..

I write out what the project is, what I expect to get from it. What it looks like.
I use examples from others completed work of what Im looking for in an end product
I create a rough draft and get started.

Its important to keep it innocent. If it ever gets past innocent, its time to go swimming... Its time to laugh and become a volcano.

Spontaneity with Safety. Hmmm... That is all I was trying to say... !!!

Blog Subject:  On the positive: openings..

Lots of changes over the last several days...

First, Im glad to be on this site. It has helped a great deal in the short time Ive been here.

Openings:

A thrust forward, or an exploration into new territory. Possibly a small bit of real-estate to tread on, yet, progress is strangely obtained when one becomes aware.

Changes represented in 4 sections.

First, Church:

At the Church, A conspiracy against me was all in my head.




#2, Music:

Ive been back into my music creation phase for the last 6 years. Ive been waiting for the time I would create my first CD's. I made a promise, Thus it begins..


Three:
New years party. A party put on by a 12 step group served as a breaking ground for my dissociative disorder.
I held my own and didn't switch personalities while at a New years party. I left early, I ate, no people pleasing..., I almost died doing all of this.. Hard work... !! Lonely, Worth every ounce of fear and vibration.

Fourth:
tuff intelligent extravert City Girl at the coffee shop:
Tough act. Very hard to impress someone like this. She gets to go to Seattle or New York for New years Parties. This conversing is way out of my league. Held my own. Did not switch out. No people pleasing. had a hard time keeping eye contact.

All positive areas of growth, as my attitude about learning again is changing to the positive, as is my gratitude for a chance to relearn again..

Over N Out..

Blog Subject:  Work issues #2

Its always nice to read that Im not alone. That others have the courage to come forward and talk about their inability to deal with the work world.

I have never been present to be in the work world. I was thrown away at an early age. I was traumatized into shock. Im trying to understand what happened to me.

I have a fantasy bond about what has happened to me in this life at several different time points. Under the fantasy bond of trauma is the truth. Possibly if I could experience that truth I could move forward with my life.

The work world has been beyond me as I have never been safe in any work situation. I have been a whore, nothing more. That does not sit well with someone of my traumatic background. However, I was never able to do anything about it as I was to sick mentally.

Its enough that Im still alive. Sometimes I wonder how that is possible. Yet Im still here. Why I don't know..

I am a deep thinking seeking person.. I have never had the ability to think without trauma associated with the outside world. My thinking is very limited in the outside world. That might change when Im willing to put effort into opening my mind about things.. Im scared to open my mind about things. I don't want or need to get ripped apart again...

Suicide is a real problem for me. I have to stay in the middle or I will fall of the edge...
Sometimes it seems that on all edges and the ceiling and the floor and whats in front of me is Evil. And their is no light anywhere. I get overwhelmed.

more and more the answer for me is God. A deeper trust and relationship with God... God at all moments...

I don't have allot of friends. And I don't have any family that really likes me. Ive been hated by them from the beginning..

I have talents. I wont pursue them. Im not sure why. Its the PTSD stuff and fantasy stuff and dissociation stuff that is in the way as usual. I have my work ahead of me. Right now its the simple basic stuff of getting to know myself, working with God to take one task at a time to learn the many various forms of walking again...

Is spiritual walking an expectable occupation. I don't know. For some Im simply not good enough. I should be doing more or doing better. I should have more, or acting like I praise others more.

All I can learn to do is come back to reality then learn the various forms of emotional spiritual walking again. One spiritual leg movement at a time.. That would be a miracle. Just to emotionally feel safe and practice basic functioning again. Their is a whole journey in all of that... A huge life time full of journey. However, God will not require a whole life time to practice what needs to be practiced. I will have to learn to appreciate the struggles and handicaps of the journey...


Judgements:

Lets not forget about judgments from others..

I am judged so severally that no one wants anything to do with me. I don't have to worry about anything more then loneliness. If I could learn to be alone with no one. Things would be a lot better. I have found that I need people around me. They are all so 2 faced that I give up in frustration and lock myself in my apartment to take a break..
I don't appear to have problems to people. I have been described by others that I am aloof, standoffish and antisocial. I wonder why. Im a dissociative person and if I am not safe I walk way, or run away. I hate dealing with 2 faced people that have nothing better to do then waist other peoples time expecting to get worshiped..

I am hated by others. Its an old hate. Not a jealous hate. Its a different deeper hatred. It has something to do with God. That I am right with God. Meaning Im on my knees to him all the time. I can do nothing right in front of God. So instead, Im on my knees to him all the time. This is the right thing that was missing. now its not missing. ITs called a relationship with God.

I am a descent person. A kind person. I care allot about...

Blog Subject:  Work issues #1

These are exploratory blogs for the purpose of writing large amounts that I may view my past experiences on paper. Helps me grow. ITs already working.

I don't expect people to read all of it...

Hmmm..... Take what you like and leave the rest.... Smile...






Nothing can be more compelling for the person on SSI then to be judged about work issues.
" Where do you work"
" What is your occupation"
" What are your future plans of employment"
"Whats wrong with you"
"You don't look like their anything wrong with you"
"You just lack in confidence"
" I wonder if I fake it with a mental illness, will I get to stop working like this guy does"


These are not just scary sentences, their crucifying at times. Their the secret society that no one wants me to know about. The words used behind my back....

I live in a society of status. I live in a society of followers. None thinking people pleasers. Not everyone, Just enough people to ask the wrong questions at the wrong times.

------------------------------

When I was sickest:

1. No bath
2. No wash cloths
3. Possibly didn't brush teeth
4. didn't take care of hair
5. did not shave./at times looked like a mountain man
6. CLothing choice didn't matter much/ bad shoe choice
7. did not clip finger nails or two nails.

Socially, could not have interaction. When I was to close to people I could not look at them. Ever.
People thought I was crazy. I was... horribly framed from the PTSD problems and depression and social avoidance and... Homelessness, The list goes on..
------------------------------------------------------------

Now after 15 years of work in 12 step groups and outside psych groups. A 6 years with correct diagnosis:

Im:
Much improved. Better...

1. Still don't wash clothing. Its getting better.. ?
2. I brush my teeth now that I ruined them... It may be to late.
3. Hair is short, I have the navy pilot look
4. Better selection of clothing choice and understanding of clothing choice
5. 100% better shoes choices..
6. Shaved most of the time. Not as good as it could be. Almost..
7. Clipped toe nail, clipped fingernails. Fingernails are kept at a minimum on regular bases and are clean.. Other facial hair is trimmed or shaved.
8. Not taking baths as shower as much as I should. Its better.

Im not as angry, Im much much better at being around people, for the first time i can look at them closer up. Look at them in the eyes at times. This is still very hard.

Im not slumped over in my chair now. I have studied and learned a new way to hold myself.
Im on a mountain bike all the time. This helps to keep the weight down, and to keep in shape and to let out tension... I have agoraphobia. So being outside is hard. iT adds one more layer of dissociation and that layer gets thicker and thicker as the day goes on, agoraphobic speaking. It is possible to ride a bike outside and still be agoraphobic at a moderate level. Its about managing symptoms. At anytime I can dart away from people when Im on my bike. I can get close to them, not controlled by them.. Im free to ride away..

I don't sound so bizarre when Im sharing in 12 step groups. Not like I used to. I used to scare people. Its was all about killing everything..

Im on topic to the best of my ability. I used to go on for 20 minutes until someone had to stop me. I wasn't aware of time or people or of what I was saying or anything..

At the church Im at, they consider it"ME" a miracle. Im not the freakout raged based person I was when they met me. Im an example of Gods work from the church. Thats their view. God was working in the therapists office, then the 12 step groups ,then the church. And it doesn't really matter I have PTSD and its not going away..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of Now:



I look good to people or presentable....
