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

Oh one of those feelings. I hate those feelings too.
Try not to analyze it too.much otherwise it makes you feel worse. Try to just sit knowing its uncomfortable but you cant do much about it and focus on something else @Maggie
Do you have any plans for the rest of the day?

Claire @outlander

Here I come carrying a silver tray {it's Forumland and I can have a real silver tray! :)} with a fine porcelain teapot, a silver cream/milk jug and a silver sugar pot 🙂 . . . and a fancy silver coffee pot too 🙂

The Doctors and medications never helped me either, though I'm sure they tried - and in a way that helped. I don't think it means we're unhelpable; there are nearly 8 billion people and no 1 is the same as another - they just don't know how to help us. So we keep trying to help ourselves, to help each other, just to help. Those of us that feel helpless, I think sometimes we try the hardest to help . . . and in doing so we actually help ourselves.

So keep rambling on when you want to, you are helping me and my ramblings, I can hope, are helping you Have you got anything yellow, take it with you to the Doctors, if I can slip a subliminal thought into your head, you'll feel my bony grip squeezing your hand tight every time you touch it

I'm feeling pretty good, thanks for asking. That's kind of strange really, they're doing the baiting and trapping thing here and that normally puts me into the 'hate humans' syndrome - but it's like I'm starting to accept it. My critters are doing fine, though the young fellas got his nose a bit out of joint 'cause I've locked him out of the bedroom. I'm sick of bones being chewed on my bed . . . and then the bones aren't enough so the pillows and sheets cop it too!!

Re: General chit chat

Oh . . . I didn't realize the horse race that stops a nation was on today! Is it a holiday? I often miss things like that, out here in the bush - it's kind of a nice feeling 🙂

I love your dream Claire @outlander 🙂 I like to dream of every individual being accepted for who they are, not being seen as unwell simply because they don't walk the walk or talk the talk of a preconceived ideal.

I'm going to make a cup of tea now {Must stop coffee!!!!}, I'm also going to hop off the Forum for the day.

I tell you what, not only will I hold your hand at the Doctors, I'll put the other one over all there eyes, so all they see is the medical information they need to help you

Love you Claire
