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 🙂

Re: General chit chat

Hello my beautiful cyber-grandgirl Claire

I'm cool and comfortable, Thank-you for asking 🙂 How are you this morning, taking it easy I hope!

It rained here last night, heavy enough that it woke me and I heard it . . . that's a great thing 🙂

I'm off to do some shopping today, have to re-stock the critter foods and treats 🙂

I really have gotten a huge boost from Planet Niqua {my very own Planet!} Thank you so very much again 🙂

If you'd like a suggestion for another pic (but I'm not giving this avatar up!} - how about you design a 'Forum coffee shop', where all the friends on Sane can get together and chat 🙂 I reckon it would need a few different seating arrangements, low soft pillowed areas - with soft cuddly blankets and plush toys, inside tent spots - for those that don't feel comfortable being seen, area's close to the exits for quick get-aways, and whatever you imagine 🙂

Loads of love to you Claire @outlander

Niqua ❤❤ @Former-Member

I had a rough night that resulted in being taken to hospital by ambulance and feeling pretty unwell today. I had a serious panic attack that caused me to collapse and couldnt breathe at all and felt closed off.
Its raining hailing and stormy here so im spending the days in door and havent moved from my bed yet as im exhausted.

Ahh yes cant forget the treats make sure you get stuff for yourself too ❤ im glad you like the planet Niqua. Thanks for the next idea. Ill try and draw it when ive got a bit more energy. I drew a tiger yesterday. Its on the through ones eyes art thread.
Love you too ❤❤❤

Re: General chit chat

I can't see the pic yet Claire @outlander I love having something to look forward to! 😄

I have to get out of this chair, at least rub a washer over some smelly spots, before I go into the shop 🙂

I will be thinking of you, as always, squeezing your cyber-hand tight! Try to imagine my grip, there might be something comforting about a boney, wrinkely old hand that never lets yours go

Good Morning my beautiful cyber-grandgirl Claire @outlander

Thank you for the beautiful butterfly pics I've read a little something about you only getting an hours sleep and that you have a GP appointment soon - also something about you being blamed for something you didn't do? How I wish your life could be easier, that you could escape your struggles. If I could give you anything for Christmas, it would be the strength to leave. It could be a gift of mixed blessings, because you could end up alone - and that causes a stress of it's own. But my experience is that that stress is far less than the stress of people - and you'd always have your Forum friends 🙂 You make me feel a little guilty, I did escape - I made a bit of a mess of my life, but I've come out the other side, sort of in one piece.

Love to you Claire

Re: General chit chat

Good morning Niqua ❤ i wasnt coming back on today but i will just for you ❤
Im glad you like the butterfly pics Niqua that makes me happy too.
Yeah only an hours sleep, a crap night and well being here burdens others and i cant do that anymore. Id rather suffer in silence then to burden others Niqua.
When the tribe moves out im hoping things will ease but im not holding my breath for it.
Please dont feel guilty Niqua if i didnt have my pop who knows where id be. Probably sleeping in my car somewhere trying to dissapear of the face of the earth.
I wouldnt change you for the world. I love you just the way you are. Your very special to me ❤ @Former-Member ❤❤

My sweet beautiful Claire @outlander

You don't have to respond.

I just wanted to say, I think sharing the burden is what this Forum is all about. Each member is free to choose what they take on and what they don't. Real friendships are formed here, and real friends are not burdened when someone they care for is in need of releasing the thoughts in their head Instead I think it strengthens those friendships, because of the trust that is shown by honesty - whether it's negitive or positive. I step back a lot, I think it's one of those neccessary lessons in Forumland - but I hear, I care, I do my very best to understand. And I know there is always other friends that will step forward when I can't. Of course you are allowed to choose sufferance in silence, I think sometimes it's needed - a point at which a person somehow knows they have to stop thinking negitive things and the silence is a way of doing that.

I think I'm going to exchange my Christmas gift and instead I will give your Family the strength to leave.

Everything changes, including you and me. I love you the way you were, the way you are and the way you will be You are my only beautiful cyber-grandgirl, special and unique
