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

Yea @Sophia1 I've really got to do something about my smoking habit because it's really out of control i put it down to trying to counteract the effects of the medication on my mind. Example. Interference with dopamine and serotonin levels.

hello @Former-Member

Thank you for replying whilst you are struggling with everything around you..

so sorry to hear about your father...I do hope that he is settled and well looked after...

I don't know what to say in regards to your husband...I have been down that track with my sister and girlfriends...words do not come close...

I will be thinking of you Sherry and I am hoping that you have some strong support in the real world..

I have another two friends going through the same...relentless...

Please look after you and take up all help offered..You are important too...In doing this you are not disrespecting your husband and his illness in any way...quite the opposite..

I do hope that I have not said too much..

I have just been talking to a friend dealing with the C and shared a few laughs...

Wouldn't it be nice if all of us here knew one another in real life...could be there for each other...

we all need to reach out more often...

take care and do not be concerned about not replying or clicking support whatever...everyone knows how much you care...

respond when you are able...no judgement or expectations here...

bless you and please take care
