Out and About

Glad things are going better @janedoe2, sticking with it is great.

Maybe writing your own story first will help in many ways. Not only letting you perhaps access more of your imagination but it can also help deal with issues from the past. I did for me, but I took the drastic step of putting it out on the web and in a book too. I don't know of many people who would want to go THAT far! So write it for yourself. Maybe it will help you focus on the things you really need to.

Take care.

I agree with @Drac0 write for yourself, @janedoe2 I used to (and stil do sometimes) get hung on thinking about who was reading it and what they would think. When you write yourself it cannon help overcome barriers.

@Drac0 I'm going to take my camera out this weekend! Will share some pics soon.

Can't wait to see some pics @CherryBomb.

My sisters coming over from Perth for my mums birthday party next week & bringing me one of her old DSLR cameras. I was going to get another of hers she's selling but she thinks this one will be better for learning, sort of a step between the standard digital & a fully manual DSLR. Can't wait.

@janedoe2, came across a quote today that has some relevance here. While the whole quote is directed at another issue & I'll share it with someone else on the forums later, I think this part says a lot:

Writing is an important avenue for heeling because it gives you the opportunity to define your own reality.

You can say: This did happen to me. It was that bad.

I will share thee full quote later in a thread I think it really relates to.

Take care

True what you say about 'this did happen to me and it was that bad'. I will start to write soon about my life for myself as the audience. I want to write about what has happened and make sure i write about my recovery and also being a survivor. I don't think it would be good for my health to just go through the timeline of bad life events. Looking forward to letting go of it all and having access to my imagination and creative mind.

I wish you luck on the journey @janedoe2. I hope it helps to release the creative you.

I've had my story out in the world for a number of years but never my full story, from start to finish. I think soon I may sit down & do it all, from my earliest childhood memory (probably where a lot of my problems started) to my trip through my own hell to now, where I feel I am generaly coping with being me. It will be a long, quite possibly boring to many. But if I do it just maybe I'll free myself a little more.

Take care.
