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

I have always loved having a garden @Sophia1 I hada small veggie patch in the garden of the flats I used to live in and lots of potted flowers on the deck. It is so nice having my own place and being able to grow my garden as I like. I am really excited about starting my veggie patch again but it has to wait until a few other things are done around the place - money is an issue just at the moment. When I am back at work I will be more able to afford to prepare the garden for a veggie patch (the space I have needs to be built up before I plant anything).

Sounds like you are ready for bed - goodnight @Sophia1

Hello @Maggie

I wish that yours struggles were not so intense...even though I cannot possibly have an inkling of how hard it must be for you...

I am pleased though that you loved the quote...

It was relevant for me and I was hoping that you would find something for you in between the lines.....

I then read back a little and found your post about having to move...

A huge shock for you...

You offer support to so many...you have a beautiful heart Maggie ...noone can take that away from you...

You are so very strong and will find a way through this huge obstacle...

Lean on your social worker for support that is why she is there for you...no need to concern yourself with her other clients...that is her role...

check in with your friends on the forums when you can ..no words needed..

I will not tag you out of respect...I will just search for you every now and again...looking forward to when you are ready and able to visit..

Hi @Sophia1 How are you?

The lady I met on the weekend does want to see me again, in a few weeks.

That hasn't happened in a long time, so we'll see how it goes.

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Thanks very much @Owlunar

I was married, but I've been single for 8 years.

I gave up on dating years ago.

I'm trying to give it another go - mainly with social connection in mind, & the chance of finding a relationship.

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

That is wonderful news @Adge

Have you worked out where or what you will do?

or are you having telephone calls in between to work out the finer details?

Something to look forward to...

In the meantime I hope that all is well in your world...or as best as can be for most of us....

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

I was married for a long time @Adge

And I have been alone for even longer

Sometimes I see someone I might be interested in but I really don't know how to let him know or if I could manage such a relationship now - I am so used to my own ways

I guess this happens as we get older so I understand it can be a hard step to make and there are uncertainties with everything

But when I look inside I would take the chance with the right person

So I do think if you feel it's time to try again then try - sure it's scary

I'm on your side
