Panic - by Liz
читать дальшеHere I sit alone on the chair,
I'm wondering how on earth I got there.
One day I was fine, I was doing alright,
Then the next day it was all fight or flight.
Feelings of fear have got in to my brain,
Am I dying or am I insane?
I don't understand what made me this way,
I'm scared and I'm shaking for hours a day.
I don't want to go out, but too scared to stay in,
Even the quietest of noise sounds like a din.
The light is too bright, but I'm scared of the dark,
I'm too tired to think and I can't even talk.
What on earth is happening to me?
To be awake for one hour, is too long you see.
I'm ashamed and embarrassed as I tremble with fear.
I'd scream for help, if I thought someone could hear.
I'm hot and I'm sweating as my blood starts to cook,
I try watching TV, I try reading a book.
My chest is tight, I feel faint, I feel sick.
I'd turn and run, but my legs feel like brick.
The phone starts to ring and I'm curled up on the floor,
I'm frightened and shaking, I can't take anymore.
I try to relax, because I just want to sleep
But my throat is too dry and my heart starts to leap.
I'm curled up and rocking, to and then fro.
Backwards and forwards, but the symptoms won't go.
I feel alone, no one understands,
I'm stamping my feet and wringing my hands.
I don't want to eat, I think I'm going mad.
What did I do to get punished this bad ?
I want to be normal and happy again.
But what can I do anxiety has taken over my brain.
I try to go out, then a little bit more…
I'm right up the street and away from the door.
Distraction's the key, so I must keep it going,
Calming thoughts, so relaxation is flowing.
I'm starting to get well, I can manage a smile,
It's been such hard work and it's taken a while.
So be brave, fearless and strong
Take little steps and you can't go wrong.
So don't be afraid if your chest feels tight
Take some deep breaths and say you'll be alright.
Staying calm and controlled, that is the key,
Try hard, don't give up and soon you'll be free.
I'm not Crazy- by Liz
читать дальшеI'm not crazy, I'm just in a dreamland
I want some one who can understand
I'm just strange and depersonalized
Unreal and a little disguised
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little confused
Exhausted, frightened and bemused.
I want to wave my panic farewell
And fill up my empty shell
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little tired
I little nervous and exprired
I'm just watching life go by
Sitting here and wondering why
I'm not crazy, I just want to be me
Happy, smiling and carefree
But I'm not I'm sad and blue
Waiting to start my life a new
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know I look fine and you can't tell
Stay awhile and then you'll see
A person who really isn't me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little scared
I just wish that someone cared.
All I can do is think of me
and how I used to be.
The doubting poem - By Jeannie
читать дальшеWhat did they say?
What did they do?
What did they look like?
Have another think,
have another think,
just one more tiny thought.
Was it good or was it bad?
Was it said to please you?
Was it said to hurt you?
Can I believe it?
Can I accept it?
Can I go with it,
was it really meant?
What if they're lying?
What if they're teasing me?
What if they don't mean what they say?
I'll just go round and check if things are alright.
I'll just give them a ring.
I just need to check,
just one more time......
Stop doubting everything, everybody,
not everyone wants to hurt you.
Stop listening to thoughts,
that want to help you protect yourself,
when really they are demoralising you.
What will happen if I change my ways?
What and how will I feel?
What will I think?
What will I do?
Can I start to think differently?
Can I start a different way of life?
Can I believe in myself?
How can I change my ways?
How can I change my life?
How can I make myself believe?
Believe in somebody important -
in ME!!!!
Obsessions - By Jeannie
читать дальшеWhat's taken over my mind?
What's taken over my body?
What's taken over my sanity?
Where have I gone?
Think, think, think,
just one more time.
Do, do, do,
just one more time.
It hurts me,
it attacks me,
it won't let me go.
Has a grip around my head,
which gets stronger and stronger,
whilst I get weaker and weaker.
Think, think, think,
just one more time.
Do, do, do,
just one more time.
Just one more time,
just check again.
just one time.
Then another and another and another.........
How can I switch my brain off?
How can I stop this torture?
Let me go.
Let me relax.
Show me a way.
This way and that way,
just one more time.
My head is going to explode.
It can't take any more,
but it just carries on.
Obsessions, compulsions,
the mind is going haywire.
I can't think properly,
can't act properly,
something else has taken over.
