Writing things down

Postby LittleMie » Thu Jan 19, 2017 10:02 pm

Wondered about other people's experience regarding writing things down. Yesterday we were at an assessment meeting - we were asked to sign a form enabling the psych team to share any information about us to other members of the team. Whilst I could visualise M's signature - this is what they wanted as it is her name on the medical records I could not make my hand write the signature down all I could manage was a bit of a wiggly line and it took a huge amount of effort to actually connect the pen with the paper. Sometimes I avoid writing stuff because whilst I think I know I am 'in charge' I can't always control my handwriting and the stuff that comes out is not what I expect. I don't like it. This is different from knowing that someone is fronting and wants to write something down we have a journal (several) and that is ok. If I have no focus and seem to be empty I can't write at all but will find I just put dots down on a page, like no one is in at all. Don't know if this makes any sense.

I have just read the above post. I don't know why I wrote it or what the confusion is. Its bloody obvious.

I struggle like that too. with writing or working my hands and body in general. or not talking to myself.

and what's obvious sometimes is confusing and puzzling at others. you are going through a lot now. and I feel in a way being disrespected and not treated as a whole person. just because we are fragmented doesn't mean we aren't whole people.

just hang in there. and try to sleep and shower and drink water and eat and rest.
