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

Thank you @Owlunar

one never can underestimate the power of thought...so thank you

I love the antics of your companion cat...

Writing from our hearts can come across as quirky @eudemonism spot on for noticing as well....

quirky to some ...wonderful to others...

@Appleblossom your cat sitting on the piano stool with back to you laugh...

we have seen many images of the back ends of our cats....

also the eyes squinting...one of mine is overweight and when he squints sometimes he reminds me of the cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland...my favourite..

@Adge

good luck with seeing your sleep doctor....have you tried different machines...face masks etc? my sister has been down that track...

hoping that you are virus free now...

take care all

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1 Yes I'm virus free at the moment.

I was sick (& vomited) in psych appointment 1 & 1/2 weeks ago.

Psych thought it was a severe panic attack (reaction), but I was ill for the rest of the day (& before appnt) - so was probably a virus.

Enigma suggested that I might catch the "love disease" or "love bug" through online dating - she said it's contagious.

I'm quite happy to catch that one - because it's not a virus like my clients keeps passing onto me.

"Caring is sharing" (they say), not with viruses it isn't...

Re: Living with Ourselves

I've invited my neighbour over, for this afternoon, even though I don't feel up to it.

It was my turn (reciprocal invite).

@eudemonism Some of the days are warmer so dog will be able to have a swim soon.

@Adge Viruses and bugs would be a real hassle in your job.

I used to have to disinfect my piano keys so warts were not spread.

Often we dont know whats around and cant take precautions.

@Sophia1

I tried Online dating for a bit but was not ready for it. I did not have bad experiences, but found the internal roller coaster rides of "what ifs" and the question of committing again difficult. It was interesting and I learned a bit but let it go. I was still too vulnerable and serious at that time. I have lightened up since then, but am taking the road of meeting people face to face.
