I’m in a better place right now
I’m back home, trying to dial down psychotic-like experiences using psychological calming techniques.
Here is a list of Celtic expressions that I have been coming up with to describe my general mood/instructions to people enquiring after my general health right now. I want to thank my genuine friends on this platform for their ongoing support.
To anyone I have hurt lately on this platform please consider forgiving me. This platform is really difficult sometimes (as you have probably experienced yourselves) and we are all carrying scars that can be agonising when they are unexpectedly ripped off by over zealous people. I hope this warning is duly noted by whoever it may involve. I had my heart broken last week, (not by my husband), on top of all the other things I cope with daily.
It’s been a rough ride on the emotional stability front for the whole family. We use humour in our home to deal with unhappiness and stressful situations. Here are some helpful expressions from some parts of the UK to add to those that you may use yourself already when you are p**ssed (we add the word “off” to it) with everyone. The UK has a history of being constantly invaded from all sides throughout history.
Luckily, the “celtic” tribes, a group of people accustomed to needless suffering, have developed a few expressions that tell it for you at times like this:
“Away and shite”
“Get away to f***!”
“Och aye tha noo!” This is not necessarily as friendly as it first sounds, because it means “Ah yes, it’s YOU AGAIN!” [Another “supportive” placeholder from Owen Scott Muir 🥷🏻]
If you don’t like the “celtic” approach, how about the “Greek” one? This smacks of better breeding and an accomplished life with a brain to match. Why don’t you try:-
“Come away from the edge, ya wee bast*rd, evryoon’ ken wha yoor kin like” [Narcissus]
“For everything else, there’s always hemlock” [Socrates]
More comfortable territory next week! If you have just come across this blog, and are looking for inspiration, then please consult previous posts for more helpful information. Love you 😍
Best of luck going through this difficult time, and thanks for sharing the humo(u)r (Brit living in the US who can’t decide what country’s spelling is appropriate here). I love that you try to laugh through the pain - I think when things get too serious is when they really go to sh!t.
Your humor in these tough times shows your grit and resilience. Keep trying, there is always hope for a better tomorrow.
