Living with Ourselves

Living with Ourselves

hello @eudemonism @eth @outlander @Bunniekins @Mazarita @Silenus @NameUnknown @Grasshopper3 @patientpatient @soul @Former-Member @Determined @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Friendconnect @Teej @utopia @Queenie @Appleblossom @Zam @perseverer @Janna @Owlunar @Former-Member @Former-Member

First of all I wanted to let you know that I have conversed with all of you at some stage on both sides of the forum..

It was my intention to close two of my threads and change my name in the kindest way for all of you...

I commenced this process on the 12th March and today is the first day that I have access to actually post or respond to anyone....I was in the last couple of days able to register a new name and like some posts...

I am so sorry that my profile ended so abruptly that was definitely not my intention....

In fact if I had done it my way.. instead of thinking would be better to be guided through the process....I would have just written on one of my threads my reason for closing my account tagging you all in....then requested account to be closed and username put to bed so to speak

I have chosen to take this path in order to protect my family's sense of safety .. privacy...health..

Please let me reassure you that this has nothing to do with any members on here...

I have tagged each and everyone of you because you have given me support and invited me into a little of your worlds...priceless experiences...I have felt heard and valued on here....Thank you all so much..

Moving forward ...this is who I am now and hope to be able to converse on the forum living in the now not the past...therefore no mention of my previous username necessary...

If you do not know who I am...that is fine also...perhaps all of the above is not relevant for you..

take care

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

@Former-Member It can be hard to judge whether or not to take prn, but with big health scares, you have to be gentle with yourself.

@Sophia1 How did your new group go?

@Adge The are areas where I am more rigid and need loosening up. Feeling more confident improvising sice I did a course early July.

Hope you are all as GOOD as POSSIBLE.

Good morning

@Former-Member

The grief incurred when the health of our child is out of our hands can feel insurmountable

my heart goes out to you....

letting you know that I care about you both...

write about whatever you want...whenever you want to...nobody here expects you to feel that you must be supporting us...unless that is of help to you...

please take care

Sounds like you have good self-care strategies @Sophia1

Hi @Appleblossom I'm trying to "branch-out" & be less rigid...

Hi @Former-Member Always glad to hear from you.

Yes you do have a lot on your plate - yet you still manage to be kind, supportive & caring on here.

So does Sophia & Appleblossom.

Hi @Former-Member I hope dinner went well.

I have a lot of trouble sleeping, without taking something (mostly herbal).

Adge


Thanks @Adge

what a lovely response..much appreciated...

could not have come at a better time actually

yesterday was my birthday...I had pleasant birthday wishes from unexpected sources...a message then phone call from a friend have not spoken to in a while..also spoke to sister...we all hope to go out for lunch on sunday...my wish...if the day allows me too...day at a time..

a message from a lady I met in one time group outing for carers that I went to....she wants to meet up still...which is lovely...I have not burdened her with my rehabilitation stuff...I haven't anyone actually. ...I hold everything tight to myself..a strategy I learnt from a young girl...

how is your virus now? there seems to be a bit going around...my sister and her partner are unwell...apparently my mum has a cold too ..as told by my sister...

I think that you work very hard at involving yourself in branching out....group...activities...

sun out again for the moment...

take care

good morning @outlander@Former-Member@Appleblossom

hope that you get that car trip soon outlander if you have not managed to yet...

you will have to share about your adventures when and if you feel up to it...hope that you are starting to feel a little better after taking time out for self care...

lapses...what have you got coming up for you time? anything planned? how are the story times on the front porch?

appleblossom....the group you went to sounds as though it might have helped somewhat?

my group is today....meant to be on the road so to speak now...

not sure will get there...will be later if I do...see how the day pans out...

hope that something makes you smile all
