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: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1

Yesterday you didn't know how today would be and here were are and I sense that it's not a good day today and you are doing your best with a book and maybe a movie and the cat of course - where would we be without of furry friends who can take honestly so well - have little to say at times except they do look into our eyes and maybe our hearts and souls - who can tell?

Cats are so enigmatic

I have been thinking about your since yesterday - the weather is so yukky and I have not been out of the house since Friday and when I talk my voice might be rusty - so I know - honesty brings honesty I think - but we can hedge around the truth and eventually find a way in or out of our personal maze

I am glad you and @outlander have been chatting - Outlander knows the ropes - it has taken me all day to get the chores I left undone yesterday attended to - sometimes I wonder what I am doing about life when I am so totally bored with winter

So I am thinking about both of you and I have had plenty of time to think and now I am on my way out to join the world briefly - I am sure it is still out there

We all have our maze I guess - it just seems different - but underneath - we are all searching for some kind of truth - let's hope we don't get too lost on the way

All the best

Dec

@Sophia1 Hi xo

I'm a little concerned with how things are going for you. Keep writing and expressing your thoughts and feelings. We all care for you.

Let me know if there's anything I can do. I'm here to listen and support. No matter what it is you're dealing with.

How's the garden and your connexion with nature?

What movie did you watch?

Is there plans you want to share?

Look forward to hearing from you again. Speak soon xo

Your friend Eude

Re: Living with Ourselves

Thank you so very much for voicing your concern for me @eudemonism

The depression has come back full force....hence my using the road train expression..

There is not much that I can do other than not allowing any negative thinking to take over...

Rest...as my energy is depleted...

I was not able to read or watch a film yesterday....

I had a session with my psychotherapist and he agreed just be aware that the dreaded "d" is there and not be hard on myself...

I can't say much more as my mind is just blank....feeling waves of blech....along with all of the other horrible feelings that cling...

One day at a time..

I hope that I have not made anyone else...yourself included ....be affected by my gloom...

As you said writing about it ...even though it is hard to read...does help...acknowledging and expressing...does help..

Sophia

Hello all

@Maggie@Owlunar@eudemonism@Shaz51@outlander @Exoplanet @Teej @Adge@CheerBear@Former-Member@Mazarita

above are names of people who have responded...my mind allows me to remember...some prefer to stick to other threads...this I understand...as I am not straying far from here...

I also am out of words...

saving my energy to get through the dreaded "d"..

so I am going to share some quotes..

there are no expectations for you to respond...

if you prefer me not to tag you...just don't respond or let me know...then I will of course respect your wishes...

the forums are about looking after ourselves first...
