First of all, I love the tattoo and what it stands for.

Kiera, I have no intention of making a competition out of anything here. I merely wanted to answer the question, and point out, that not all men are cunts and not all cunts are men.


Thanks, sweetie

hello and good morning.

A very dear friend led me to this thread and I have been finding so much comfort in reading all the shares here. Thank you. What a truly amazing community.

First of all let me say, though I do have my demons and battles with depression and thoughts of suicide, PTSD from a former husband abusing and stalking me, my oldest son being viciously beaten and random days where it is hard to get out of bed, the worst thing I have had to go through is watching my youngest own son battle the same demons without having lived the same background as I had. He is currently 17 and as far as I know has tried to commit suicide 3 times. In over 2 years, we have seen numerous psychiatrists and counselors and each time given a different diagnoses, different medication but just when things start to get comfortable, they inevitably move on to another office and we start the process over again. They have finally diagnosed him as bipolar with ADD. His father side has a very long history of depression through the family and several suicides. I can't tell you the fear of waking up every morning wondering if your child has made it through the night. It may be a part of my own insomnia as I wake several time usually with a creative idea but also to peek in on him. The only comfort he finds is in music. He is currently playing 5 instruments and wants to pursue it as a path. I have found this tattoo design that I will be getting for him. I hope you enjoy as well.

loving the design. very cool. as far as the rest, there are times when i am able to step outside of myself and see how i effect others. it's sobering, knowing the worry, the sleepless nights, the pain i cause. i can only imagine what you go through with your son. i hope that you both find peace and healing. and tell him to keep making music - it truly does heal.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Firstly, that's what alcohol is for.....

Secondly, I have the opposite problem. I know I don't talk as much as I should, or share as much as I could. But I don't think my family have any idea what it is what I'm going through. It's more isolating, than sobering.

That is a beautiful design.

A parent's greatest fear, is to lose a child. I hope the music will give him the balance he needs to enjoy life.
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing

In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.

Perhaps your family have no idea, but we here in this community do. And we care.

That is a beautiful design.

My heart goes out to you having read this, I can't even imagine the worry you go through on a daily basis so I am sending hugs to you too.

What kind of music does he like and what instruments does he play? I think most of us here will agree that music is very therapeutic. Perhaps if we knew we can suggest some he may like? Coming from all different countries here we are likely to know of bands/singers etc that he may not have heard of otherwise...Now I will always suggest the British band Muse because they are the best Band in the world but he's probably already aware of that because they are the best band in the world It was just an idea and maybe it could help?

thank you for sharing with us and as I have said before, my inbox is always open ok.

Love

Thanks so much. He listens to so much but some of the top of my head are the muse, grouplove, nirvans, the beatles, red hot chile peppers,

He plays guitar, ukele, harmonica, arabic drum, trumpet and wants a piano
He works with a wonderful non profit group of professional musicians who go to the school to give private lessons and they practice for big shows at large venues a few times a year. They have been a great influence so i am ever grateful to them.

When it gets to be too much, alcohol does help. Somehow I think focusing on my child's illness leaves little room for me to focus on my pain when it does hit. Because I have dance in my life, i do have my own creative outlet to express my emotions through. But every so often when its more than I can bear, a few shots of vodka allows me to courage to let go, cry myself into a stupor and sleep through the night. I am not proud of that fact but it is what it is and it doesn't happen often. My own family I have shit myself off from as they can be quite judgmental and don't seem to understand what I deal with day to day. They aren't here so they just don't know and perhaps it is my fault for not being as open as I should be but over time I learned that my mom is draining emotionally to talk to so even making the call takes enough effort to get through much less open myself up vulnerably to have her shut me down and tell me what she thinks I should do or be or react.

Sometimes it's the smallest things that can wound. People have died from a small prick of their finger. But I'm stronger than I appear, so it's okay to look past this facade and see the real me.

Have you gazed into the eyes of a predictor. I have. He was supposed to protect me from harm, instead I cried and locked myself in the bathroom, or stayed out as late as I could. The other so called "protector keeps a blind eye. We like it, she thinks. She's happy it's not her. Late nights when I can't sleep are the times I hate myself. My memories take over and I feel dirty and angry and full of hate and resentment. I knew if she died, we'd be on our way to somewhere much worse. It was made clear to me very young. This so called "protector drove me right past it and showed me where it was"
Did I mention that when I was in fourth grade I learned a way to protect myself forever, but I did have the nerve?
Kids have a way of picking up in that pain and exploit it. There was no safe place.
Thank god for Prozac, clonopen, and Lamotrigene. My happy pills keep me on track, but then I still have my dark times too. I recently went off on someone that was reaching out, just because she hit a nerve. I must be crazy, lol! I'm here to make friend not alienate myself from them, but, it's what I do. I really am an island. And it's true, hearing someone say "just get over it, or "come on, you'll be okay, or I'm sorry even doesn't help, and I don't want to say "thank you". I just feel patronized.
Save it please. That's why I like posting here. You all get it.
Thanks for letting me vent.

you never 'get over it'. most of us know that. you learn to deal with it, and we all deal with it differently, but it's not something you ever get over. that all said, it helps to know that you're not alone, that other's get it. that's what this is all about. we get it - we even get those times when you lash out at someone trying to help, cause i'm willing to bet we've all done that from time to time as well. *hugs*

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I like this.

Sometimes, though, I feel like I misstepped, fell off the bridge and am drowning. I've felt like that this week, still do. It will pass but it doesn't feel that way right now I just want to cry.
