Hi @DownMoreThanUp ,
Thank you for sharing. Your prose is as well written (better?) than your poetry. It's like being with you before and during the session and then the sudden bad ending. I wonder why the therapist didn't allow you and your wife have a completely peaceful session. Why open something towards the end when there is not time to resolve it?
May God continue to guide your thoughts.
I had a small before-now encounter yesterday. I was at the shops and ran into an old workmate. A really good friend of a good friend. Well - ex good friend - I lost all my work friends when the psychosis re-opened and my behaviour became odd. We were both really pleased to see each other. I don't know how much she knows of my bad work ending - nor whether she knows I ended up on the disability pension. She was in a rush - I think on her way to work - so we just quickly talked about how Mum was. But the encounter left me thinking about how would I explain the work ending. Describing what was going through my mind at the time would sound too strange. How far I wandered from normal thinking. What a thief psychosis is!

Heavenly Father, I pray for @DownMoreThanUp and his wife, that Your healing hands be upon them. Let Your will be done, embrace them with love and peace, heal them Lord, guide them in the direction You want them to follow.
Help them through their hurt and pain Father, give them strength and grace.
In Jesus' name
Amen.

Lamentations 3:22-24 ICB
[22] The Lord’s love never ends. His mercies never stop. [23] They are new every morning. Lord, your loyalty is great. [24] I say to myself, “The Lord is what I have left. So I have hope.”
This passage comes from a place of deep suffering and grief, yet it holds onto hope in God’s unchanging character. The Jeremiah reflects that even in hardship and loss, God’s love is not exhausted and His compassion does not run out. Each new day is a reminder that God renews mercy and faithfulness, even when circumstances feel heavy or unclear. The core message is that human pain is real, but it is not the end of the story — God’s faithfulness remains steady and continues beyond the darkness of the moment.

@heartathome My dear sister at the moment i love The Word in Lamentations. Jesus has met me there for the last few days all the time. Lamentation is laying open on my table to reconnect when i lose my truth of self again going through my states. So awesome Jesus would come down into our suffering life. Love Him so dearly holding onto me when all i want to do is let go.

My wife has agreed with my suggestion to try and meet me in my first two chapters her story. She really like it she said. and it gave her a of clarity how i had experienced the ordeal.
So happy about that. For she finds it so hard to speak ands say things and gets so quickly overwhelmed when challenged this may well a perfect way fro her to share her story as well as work through her pain and other issues. The same i do.

i do not really want to bore you with my life story but i would like to see if it is clear or if their are pieces that miss the boat or could be better said. Flow. i'm trying to reach a wide audience, and write from the moments lived rather than descriptive explanatory styles.
