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

dear @Maggie

all I want to do now is beseech this magnificent animal to lay down....

then I shall ask her if I can gently climb onto her where most comfortable...

I want to lay on her and hold her so tightly

I don't want to let go...

I don't want to leave her....

I just want to be with her now...

as a mother elephant will not leave her baby for a long time...

I have tried reading your posts...I am so so sorry to read that your move went as it is...I am relieved as hard as it would have been for you to accept that you had some time in hospital ....there I hope that you received the utmost of respect and tender care...You deserve far far more than anyone can give...

There is one particular post of yours that alarmed me greatly....this I will find again another time and respond to with the greatest of respect for you and love that I feel for you...

I read also of your move that was suddenly thrust upon you...

My heart goes out to you...thank goodness you have an angel in jeans....this angel clearly genuinely feels for you and does not hesitate in supporting you....this pleases me also ....as it does others with whom you regularly respond...

There are so many people with whom I have not conversed for some time now...

my state of mind will not allow me to remember everyone or to travel to too many threads..

I feel that I have let people down in this way

I know that people will reassure me otherwise and explain that I have done the right thing by myself for self care...

nevertheless I still feel that I have abandoned people....I hope that this action of mine has not made anyone feel worse..

It pains me so much to think that I could possibly have hurt anyone when I would not wish that on anyone..knowing full well how that feels in my own world...

I have to go and do some packing....I seem to have lost so many things...during all of the different opens of the house...

I think I must have also put my brain somewhere....I hope that when I eventually find that....it has been reconditioned....reenergised....returned to it's rightful owner....

oh dear had a thought...just imagine if someone else gets it in error...

we all know what the mental health system represents to many struggling....

My mind is going to strange places now so will end this here...

Thank you also for telling me about the actual move...

I am labelling each box.....

will oversee husband put those to be unpacked in one area ...those to be left packed in another

I have done this before so many times....now that I am unable to do much...it is affecting me far more...as though I am losing all control...my mind with it...

If you don't hear from me for a while....it means that I have no access to a computer....

I will come back and read your story as it is very important to me....when I can

biggest hug Maggie....so glad that you have your furbaby..

as all of your friends have said and know....you are real....you are valid...you are a gift to us here...

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

I will be off of here at some time ....might not have enough time to let everyone know or remember every thread or every name...

I will be back once fully moved into new place..

not coping too well with this stuff alongside of physical issues and new concern...dreadful day yesterday with doctor...

@Maggie @eudemonism@Zoe7@Adge @outlander along with any other passersby @Owlunar @Former-Member

sorry if I have already told any of you

look after all of you ...then that will be one less thing for me to try and stop myself worrying about....

my virtual family

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 no need to worry about us Hon - we will look after each other in your absence and be thinking about you the whole time too. It is a very difficult time for you with your physical and mental pain alongside moving. I do hop you find some relief from all this when you are finally settled in the rental place - I'm sure the cats will be happy having you with them and that will enable them to settle a little also.

Until we hear from you again I wish you all the very best and send you love and hugs

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1 I will definitely be thinking of you, wishing you the best with your moving.

Moving is hard enough & stressful enough on its own, without having to also grapple with physical pain & ill health as well.

I would honesty not manage moving again, which is why I've stayed where I am - plus the garden & backyard space is why I moved here, & I don't want to lose that.
