First school day ft Main character, guided by two dogs, meets the forest guru and an orphan guy of color that is always smiling in his world

[Against_the_current]

Yesterday i really needed human contact and reassure and i talked to some straingers in the neighborhood. The woman turned out to have battled bipolar and to be really spiritual and a massagist. She realised i was stained in pain. The talk and massage helped but tired me out and brought some pain physical and emotional. Meanwhile it's sis' first school day. They woke me in the morning. I was still tired. I fell asleep again and wake up just now. I'm worried about the school year, waking me up early, homeworks, sis being nervious, sis and mom thinking im doing nothing

"First school day ft Main character, guided by two dogs, meets the forest guru and an orphan guy of color that is always smiling in his world" OMG: This is a FANTASTIC title! I want to know so much more about the dogs, the forest guru, and the orphan guy. Don't leave me hanging!

And this is another beautiful sentence: "She realised i was stained in pain." Honestly, you should write this in a notebook and slowly work up a poem around it. That idea about being "stained with pain" captures the way our suffering soaks into the fabric of our being and can be so hard to eradicate or to get to fade. You write so very well.

I am incredibly proud of you for going out, meeting people, and letting someone give you a massage. With all the tension and trauma you hold in your body, I'm not surprised that you felt sore and weary after the massage. A really good massage can release toxins that your body will need time to filter out, but it's so much better for you than keeping them locked in your muscles. I wonder if regular massages might be more helpful for you than psychological therapy?

Again, good for you for going out into the world and for writing such a great post. Please do tell me more about the dogs, the orphan, and the guru. I'm in an agony of curiosity.

AtC,

Is there a program in psychological writing that you could enter? I could see you writing articles for newspapers or magazines or blogs about issues in psychology that blend research and your personal experiences with the experiences of other people who are dealing with mental health issues as well as bringing in the experience of clinicians.
