Time to change

I had the most miserable therapy session yesterday. Not only did I waste most of the hour sobbing and unable to frame a sentence together, she charged Rs 200 extra and whatever she had planned for yesterday's 'very important session' was entirely sabotaged. I could feel the frustration creeping up inside of her.

She's told me in no uncertain terms that I am not to consider emigrating from Karachi for two years, until I can bear to live here and interact with the people here and the situation that I am in. Was that the trigger that made me cry? I doubt it: it's not like I have anywhere else to go. The London obsession is just a manageable daydream. Was it the fact that she tells me I ahve a personality disorder, but is tantalising me by not telling me which one? Who gives a fuck? I looked up two likely ones: self-defeating personality disorder and avoidant personality disorder, I think it's most likely the first.

Is it because I'm to not end taking pills, but just exchange the ones I am taking for different ones? She assumes I like taking pills, that I am dependent on them. What could be further from the truth?

She doesn't hold the answers that ring true for me, more's the shame.

Anyway. Enough. I can't think straight, especially after having a crisps-and-biscuits dinner last night, and practically nothing this morning.

time to change

I came across this randomly on someone's website. Bless whoever that was. It is so admirable. Of course, my first instinct was to go over there to work for this. I can't do that with my stupid two-year emigration ban, now can I? When I have any money of mine, this is going to be #1 priority charity, Mind or anything related to it.

The parents

Your Type Four EnneaThought for January 13th— Reflect on your childhood today. As a child, did you believe you were not like your parents? Did you feel that you were not "seen" by your parents and that you did not connect sufficiently with your parents? As an adult, what does this have to do with you now? (The Wisdom of the Enneagram, 182) As I've said myriad times before, these things just slap me in the face with a wet fish most days. I suppose it makes sense that I should send Reiki healing to my relationships with my father and my mother. Haven't really done that for ages. It's too hard sometimes, I choose to ignore and avoid dealing with them mainly because these are the two people I've been connected with since birth. A lot of effort is required in order to 'let things slide'. Living with my dad is hell, and I'm co-creating it on purpose, as part of my desire to annoy, to hurt him the way he hurts me. My mum, well, I guess we'...

Je dois écrire

Je dois écrire . L'ironie est que quand j'avais le temps, je na'i pu pas fair rien . Doesn't matter, I have to write. I keep listening to poets like Keane and Travis and Darren Hayes and I'm here, with the creativity finally bursting forth again, and what's more, the joie de vivre bursting through and I'm not writing and I'm not taking pictures and I'm doing bloody cashier work at Oxfam. I am a swan, I am a seagull that glides and glides. I am the tree, the squirrel. Words are all I have to make myself different from you lot. To make myself lighter, somewhat more worthy. How low is my self esteem that I still believe those falsehoods. I just cannot find people on my wave length. It means I never shall. Or I do and because of my skin colour or because I am behind the Oxfam counter, or because I am in Morden, or London, or the UK, I shall never know. An opera singer. A person who wants to wear kurtis but is scared of going into a desi shop i...

Judgement

Tarot Card Interpretation & Meaning - (20) Judgment Introduction: Judgment can be a card about jumping to conclusions, decisions and judgments. which are too hastily made. If you are prone to such things, this is a clear signal to slow down and give things more thought and to give people "more chances." This can be a real time of spiritual awakening.           General: In general, if you are the one tending to jump to conclusions, you can put a stop to it. If others are making these kinds of decisions about you or about someone you care for, there is really very little you can do, apart from realizing that it's their problem, not yours. Health: This is an important time to let go of the past and any wrongs that you perceive were done to you, particularly if you are dealing with chronic medical issues. Letting go of your need to be right will go a long way toward helping you to feel better. Besides, if ...
