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: New Post: Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Not much, couple bad days, just angry, sibling crap & house sale, and physical pain. What's new. Just watching, not knowing what to say & feeling left out (my BPD soft spot), blackdog, but no SI and slight improve today. So me best but lose everyone.
Thanks @outlander, You seem better.
Thanks @magie

Hello @Former-Member

It saddens me when I read that you feel left out..

I feel like that too when I step back..stay close to one o two threads..

I find that so many flow quickly now..If my head is foggy which it has been for some time ..

I struggle reading back..

I want you to feel welcome at any time..

Lately I am careful how I respond to people..

I tend to respond to those who respond to me...

I don,t know what to say to others..don,t want to offend or intrude..

You have so much happening and have had for some time now..

You must feel exhausted...

I am here to listen or tag me if you feel safer elsewhere..

Please know that you are so well thought of here...you do have people who truly care here..

Re: New Post: Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Thanks @Sophia1 & @outlander, guess I withdraw when overwhelmed. Worried I upset Dec, and Apple, and well, everyone. I kinda feel maybe I don't give enough here, that's why. I have to be careful, been really hurt more than once, having to carecare but not let it matter at the same time is, well, practically impossible.. And I'm annoying cause I forget and mix people up... 😞 I'm sorry. Gotta go have cry.

Re: New Post: Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

@Former-Member would it help to ask them? Its easy to get really worked up but perhaps you havent and they are both honest people so they will let u know. I can understand if you dont of course but it might ease abit of the distress? Im not a fan of conflict and it is very upsetting for me too, often with lots of emotions involved sometimes it is better to ask though. Hugs and hugs

You are most definitely NOT annoying ever. Alot of people are muddled including me i forget lots too which can make things tricky and sometimes awkward but showing support like you do with ❤ or your pictures or short msgs are very much enough.

Dear @Former-Member

@I cannot believe that you have upset anyone..

having a good cry will release some of your pent up emotions..

let those tears flow..

I hope that you are snuggled up in bed..

have you a cuddly toy or pet to cuddle up to?

grab anything..pillow..blanket and cuddle it feeling that you are being held..you are being held and are safe..

you are in our arms @Former-Member you too @outlander

your friends on the forums are holding you...you are not alone...

nothing has changed with your friends..only your feelings at the moment..

they too will pass..

💚💜♥️🐾💐
