General chit chat

General chit chat

Hi@Faith-and-Hope, @utopia, @Mazarita

I'm still not very good at 'navagating' this site, maybe that's why I kept trying 'instant' chat sites - they seemed easier. But I like that messages can be checked, that it's not instant feels like some sort of barrier against instant shock I suppose - though I know this is a public Internet site so anyone can use it. I also think, though I hate the term Mental Illness, as I think it takes all the physical out of it, that the people that cause trauma probably suffer from it, so they would have just as much right to use it. But I feel a bit like typing I think, so I thought I might just blurb a little?
I've went away for a few days. I go every month. I visit the center of my Universe 🙂 The one person who has been there with/for me, their whole life & I believe will remain that way until I die 🙂 . . . & quite the large Family they have provided for me to share in 🙂 I go from, it almost seems like another Planet sometimes, my life is very quiet; to the center of my Universe, which includes 5 grand-children ranging in age from almost 2 to, going on 18; then there's the partner, the partners Parents and a large variety of friends 🙂 I often find myself thinking 'alein sound dimension' - there's so much noise on so many different levels! Every single one of them has every gadget known to mankind, and most of those gadgets make noise! And my World is a lot calmer, with a lot less going on - we're usually driving in the car, taking children to school, doing whatever shopping is necessary for the day in time for whatever seemingly endless appointment is due, . . . by the time my alarm goes off to make sure I wake up in time to get tired in time to go to sleep in time 😄 There's no way I could keep that pace up anymore! After a few days I find myself almost running away with my tail between my legs 🙂 But it's the perfect balance really, I do spend a lot of time alone - apart from my 3 furry, four-legged friends; but I am extremely lucky, my bond with my only child is of a strength I can't see breaking; I get a phone call or text every night & welcomed by a dozen open arms and smiling faces every month. I am lucky, I have a good life. Well, I think life is just a word, neither good nor bad. I have good experiences and I am happy 🙂

Good Morning Mazy

I hope your feeling better today

I'm sorry my words were hard to read, it is why I struggle to post many of them. A bit like the real World, as soon as I actually start to care for someone, I have to guard my thoughts - or the chances are I will cause harm. There is no such thing as freedom - only in a perception within a single mind. I don't see much use in my thoughts, though I do feel a level of calm in my acceptances.

Thank you for your beautifully kind words for me I am glad you walk this Earth as well

@Mazarita 🙂

My sweet souled Claire

Perhaps you understand the wonder of being missed, it is indeed wonderful

Please don't worry about me, I am Ok 🙂

The way I think is just a part of me. I have a therory - it takes many failures to make a success, as such it makes failure extremely important. I am important.

Ah - if only those house chores were indeed fun . . . wouldn't everyday life make us all smile 😄

I will stay safe, I am a coward, thank-you for nagging

Re: General chit chat

Ah my Niqua. Yes you sure are important and you mean alot to many people. I love you loads but i cant be selfish and i have to share you but thats ok beacuse i want others to love you too and that they do ❤

Niqua im allowed to worry about you. Its in my nature so dont worry that im worried about you. That wont change.

Interesting therory Niqua. I guess it goes with if at first you done succeed try and try again which then makes your success much more worth it.

Ahh yes many happy people if we could just click our fingers and its all done hey.

Lots of love and hugs to you @Former-Member ❤ ❤

Re: General chit chat

Hi Niqua,

That 'hard to read' phrase of mine was really just a figure of speech. What I sort of meant is that I wish you felt more deserving of medical and other care. You haven't caused me any harm and you don't need to guard your thoughts with me really. What I'm hearing is that you are perhaps feeling depressed at present? I understand how most things can seem darker when feeling like that. I hear you with the housework struggle. With the chest cold, I have done nothing but some video editing, sleep, sit in the armchair. Easier in a way to be brought down by physical illness though. Oddly, my mood itself is not that bad at this time. It sounds like you are thinking harsher than usual thoughts about yourself just now. It reminds me of struggles I have with guilt and shame, for which my psychologist has given me a simple exercise. It goes like this: I put my hand over my heart at times like this and say out loud to myself, 'I forgive you'. It's a nurturing gesture and, for me, relieves some of the dark feelings. It may or may not be of any use to you at present. Just know that I am here for you whether you are in an up or down mood, and you are not harmful for me, quite the reverse. Love you, dear Niqua.
