Slowly Sinking To The Bottom Of A Swimming Pool

Written by Evan Bailyn on 06/16 at 03:50 PM

There is a peaceful solitude to submerging in a pool and hanging around at the bottom for a while. Water diffuses sound, so whatever noise is occuring above the surface becomes calmed and muted below. The sensation of floating and the rapid micro-bubbles that flit around your body add to the zen-like experience.

hi evan
i’m so glad i recently found out i have PPS as well. i’m in psychotherapy, full time, and it all becomes clear: every symptome i have can be placed within PPS. It even made clear why i have this unconditional love i couldn’t discribe before, for michael jackson. i regulary visit your site for advise how to deal with it, cause it made me got seriously stuck in life. every-day-adults just don’t accept me to be childish. i love to climb treas, sink to the bottom of a pool, play with childres and have a fantastic neverland in my head. friends even donated me an official star called neverland! at psychotherapy they want me to grow up, but i certainly don’t!!! but i do have to find a way to accept myself and learn to live with PPS. your site really made a good start.
thank you, for making me feel proud to be a kid!
love, nora from holland

Nora,

I’m so glad to hear from you!  Since I started the site, I’ve gotten hundreds of letters from eternal children, but there are only a select few whom I think truly understand what it’s like to be completely immersed in Neverland.  You sound like a gem.  Never lose your PPS and thanks for writing!

Hi Evan!
Finaly, someone knows what im talking about! last week, when being in stress, i practiced your advice for the first time. I unfocused my eyes and flew off… i actually calmed down. Thank god i have loving people surrounding me, including my understanding husband Freddie. But to find a place to work where i fit in, is a bit harder. I went into therapy after things got worse and worse. Now im slowly on my way up, with all the help i need around me. In free hours i make music. I recently built my own tiny musicstudio. Well, im trying… Its a lot of work to do all the things myself but its a challange! I spend a lot of time figuring myself out and im starting to see the puzzle now.
But finding out having PPS, i also have to share that in therapy: in a group of 9 adults: thats hard! Thats when i started googling “peter pan syndrome”.
Then i found your site. .. and i knew you know what im sayin’. I bet there are alot of people who think they know, getting along good with children and stuff, but thats another level; they still are adults.... oh: theres just so much i would like to talk to you about!!! How you cope in life, with collegues, at a birthdayparty, do you think Michael is one too?
Sorry, my writing is a little chaotic…
i hope to hear from you again though.. grin
