Hello

I haven’t updated in awhile since I’ve been at school I’ve been great at school my awful teacher was fired and our new teacher despite her being a very mainstream teacher who doesn’t pick her battles well she’s 1000 times better then my old one

I dropped out of tafe it was too stressful for me I couldn’t handle it and the course wasn’t what I was expecting

I’ve been depressed lately I spoke to my doctor and she was like did something happen to make you feel low? I said no (I didn’t even know you could be depressed for a reason what a new discovery)

All and all hope anyone reading this is doing well

[thegoatfather-77]

I had my first day of tafe today

I stayed the whole day so yay me I got myself an ice cream for a job well done. I over indulge in rewards.

We were given our first assignment. Make six art prices in three lessons about sustainability and use old materials like rubbish.

Oh and it’s 40 degrees and I’m writing this in my undies under a ceiling fan on full ball.

The fairies are back Orelia is back from somewhere she won’t tell me where she went

I had an MRI and I have an awful migraine from it. It just keeps coming back six minutes of woosh BEEEP woosh BEEP and that was one scan.

I’ve been walking around a lot in circles saying a lap a day keeps the voices away. It doesn’t but it’s something to do.

I’ve been all over the shop but when am I not?

Anyway catch up soon

[thegoatfather-77]

I’m back

I was hospitalised for a week and it was the most painful week. I was fine after a couple of days but they left me in there to take me off some medication that had nothing to do with what the problem was

They’ve put me on some new antipsychotics and I hate them so damn much. I have the strangest most vivid dreams and with my nightmares it doesn’t mash together well. I’m not sleeping well again either at the hospital even because of that damn stupid light they shine at you I still slept through the night no problems

Christmas came and went Charlie ended up bothering me too much so mum and I went home how do I explain to him he’s not real but he’s right there

My problem at the moment is going up and down so fast I cleaned my room, I did the dishes, I organised the bookshelf, I just couldn’t stop and I was happy but now I’m depressed and sad and flat and can’t be bothered I washed my hair and it felt like the biggest chore. Even when spending time with my family I still feel awful I try to get myself and do things that make me happy but it’s like a small moment then back.

I have a psychiatrist appointment on Tuesday hopefully she can help me then with everything.

[thegoatfather-77]

I was given a diagnosis of psychosis. I don’t know how to feel. My psychiatrist says I can be treated outside in the community but hospitalisation is sometimes a good thing

Over the past few days I took a turn for the worst. With the lady who lives in mirrors killing my friend Charlie. The racoon man is very nice at the moment I’m learning more about his job and he himself is a kind man but the corporation he works for is truly evil.

I understand I might sound bonkers.

I also need to make a note of all these things about the racoon man and Charlie and The lady in the mirrors.

Charlie spoke to me this morning though so he’s alive I’ve been looking all over for him. Mum says to let him come out when he’s ready I am still in shock over him dying I saw him in the reflection

TW - his eyes were bleeding and he was from the ceiling.

Maybe hospitalisation might not be a horrible thing I just don’t want to be away from my mum.

The lady in the mirror says she’s going to hurt everything I love and like she says she’s going to come after my bunny saying more medication will not get rid of her.

It’s so much right now

But I’m still here and that’s a win

[thegoatfather-77]

Me

hey sorry if i was offputting and strange and bizarre and weird as fuck last night i was just being myself

[thegoatfather-77]

Hello I thought I’d introduce myself first

My name here is Lilith but call me Lil (disclaimer that’s a fake name since I want to keep myself as anonymous from people in my life as possible)

This is a diary account I’m Sicilian so a god father joke felt fitting and I just thought huh goat father sounds funny I’ll use that

My speech therapist recommended I do blogging. I also like telling stories and I want people to feel they’re not alone but in a way where I can get my emotions and feelings out

Another Disclaimer I don’t know how much I’ll hold back in these posts my mental state fluctuates a lot and this is for my mental health so things might include self harm or psychosis and other rough and hard topics If I think it’s too rough I’ll put a trigger warning but this is an overall trigger warning.

I’m a chaotic all over the place person so this will be all over the place which is why at this time my posts will not be tagged unless it feels necessary like a resource or something helpful to others

I enjoy Art, Crystals, cats I have one and bunnies

I can’t think of anything else to say so just hello :)
