Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 Love the quotes and the question - it is an interesting question to ponder - will think about those 3 things a bit more...

Sending you some virtual hugs as I know you are still having a very tough time

@Former-Member So sorry to hear about your Dad and your husband continuing to go downhill healthwise. What is nice however is to see YOU here - no matter how much or how little you can be here we always love seeing you. It is an incredibly tough time for you too Hon but if you need the support then reach out at anytime and we will be here for you.

Love, hugs and calming thoughts to both of you @Sophia1 @Former-Member - two beautiful souls that are enduring so much at present

hello @Sophia1

do you have an old queenslander type house?, yes I do

I hear that Mr Shaz has been upset recently..

is he struggling with the extra heavy load that you are carrying?, yes but he is anxious about the side affects of his meds , he wants to go off them but he knows if he does he could end up in hospital xx

Quick thank you to all

much appreciated

want to write individual responses

tomorrow morning

need sleep now 😌🙀💚💜♥️💤

I don't know that much would make a check-out operator look @Sophia1, but maybe if you had 3 terribly behaved childred with you & when you got to the counter you pointed out that each of them had a can of red bull that they've already open & were drinking - it might lift an eyebrow or 2 🙂

Love to you

Hi Eude

I don't mind fillings all that much but depending on the size having it done over two days is probably better - it makes my jaw ache holding my mouth open for so long -

Imagine being a dentist - having people laying on special chairs in front of you with their mouths gaping wide for the duration - and then he and his nurse chat about interesting things that you can't answer because your mouth is full of bitszpiecez

Been there too often - eek

About smoking - I did quit - one of my grandson's quit - I think my daughter has quit and I am not saying it's easy

I feel so much better since I quit - it has to be about 15 years ago now so I think it worked - I think the idea is not so much about why you want to quit but finding out why you started in the first place.

There is so much anti-smoking data available there is no need for me to go on about it and I know I liked it so that was my reason for going back to it - I stopped for financial reasons - I wanted a mobile phone and that's how I paid for it - by not smoking

It's hard Eude but worth it - and I wish you the best

@eudemonism

Good morning @eudemonism

I am slightly confused about whether your dentist appointment is today or was yesterday...

not you just my state of mind at moment...too much happening and I dissociate...

If it was me and the dentist agreed I would have as much done in one setting as possible...as I hate the lead up to going to the dentist...

Of course this is not always advised by the dentist depending on what is needed to be done ....state of gums...teeth overall...

I hope that you have a successful outcome ...

Your psychiatrist visit...again not sure when that is...

Yes I personally believe always worth the effort to try someone new....taking responsibility for your own health is well worth the effort in the long run...your mind learns that you can make your own decisions...

You might be surprised and feel comfortable with the person....you do not lose anything by checking it out..

I do hope that you both click and you can start on a new journey ....slowly learning about who Eude is now...

Keep on tagging me ...I do want to continue our friendship...for now I just need to stay on here...

take care

I think the reason i first started smoking was to be at one with the crowd. To have common ground with everyone else. To be the cool kid. To get that chemical rush and high which made me feel good. To occupy my time. To help myself cope with life. To keep myself busy and something to do. To hide who I truly was. So i could be accepted. So i didn't have to worry about what people thought of me.

One of my friends just has his teeth pulled out if they're giving him problems. I mentioned that to my dentist. But they thought it was a bad idea. I've still got all my teeth. Although I've probably got nearly a dozen or so fillings. I've still got another two sessions with the dentist. But hopefully after that it'll be all good.

@Owlunari hope you're having a good day...
