I want to write
As a means
To take flight
From the screams
Of everything
Inside of me
That begs to ring
The life from me
Life I do not know
Without frustration
Of a where to go
A real vacation
May God grant me
The freedom to be free

I have been to 1 session with a social worker...it has been a very long time that I have been thinking about and wanting therapy. Any advice as to seeking psychologist, psychiatrist? or will my therapist know when to refer me to someone else...???

Hi Deacon,

I think that your therapist would know if you needed anybody else. You can always ask them about it. Psychiatrists basically prescribe medication, they don't counsel, though some of them talk a little. To me a psychologist is just a therapist with more schooling. The counseling basically seems the same to me. Though they are more educated in that field. So seeing a therapist might be all you need. They would know though, so I would talk to them about it.

I like your writing. Thank you for sharing. Do you have more?

Hugs, Karen

yes nice writing. me, i prefer shrinks, why, because i like to challenge their intellect and mind; this for me aided in confirming a process and problem that i was dealing with, furthermore it helped conclude that this was a good path to transverse. i also enjoy the analytical approach as well. good on thinking about returnig to therapy, i feel this is a good and productive move, moreso go with your gut, sounds like your ready!! well done, jamie.

Thanks for the encouragement! I am excited about my next session Thursday. I don't know what I want from it all, other than to find out who I really am...LOL...I know, not funny. I have serious anxiety and depression. Therapist told me that Depression and anxiety are usually right there with each other. I will post more of what I write...it has been a release for me and a way to look at , in print, what I am feeling...dB

This, Me
This, me
Tortured and broken
Hopeful and free
Too many words spoken
Nurture vs Nature
No idea
Feel born cursed
Know I am blessed
The constant battle
Raging inside this shell
Of one who could be, would be
A gentle caring man
Lost sensation for the closest one
The closest one is the most distant
I have no reason, I have no answer
Just more time to spend
Looking for some purpose
Or at least how to pursue the purpose
Not sure anymore
Feel as though it is already over
Forcing herself on me
Making me feel pressure, not love or support
But this may be all my own perception
The paranoid part of my brain
Paranoid about what?
And so it goes…
And so it goes….

If I had a way
I would carry you away
To a place where we could be
Together happily
But life is unforgiving
To a man who has squandered his past
It keeps him held
Around the neck fast
A days dreams are enough
To make me sink into a world that could never be
A days chores are for me, for me
As I weary on my journey
To a place unseen
And yet I will know it when I see it
It has been prepared for me
Maybe you will be there
Maybe all I will see is me, just like now
I am a blind man
A man of shallow thoughts’
And deep discontent
Tired of me, tired of me
My life has run in so many directions
I am not in control…
