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

hello @Shaz51

so sorry that I missed your post update re your health and so many others at the moment...

I hope that they have given you effective medication and your system is cleared sooner than later...

Keep on top of that Shaz..

I know that sounds hollow along with everything else that you have to keep up with..very important to try to maintain regularity...

How is your uncle now? Have they managed to get the staff under control?

I am concerned about Mr Shaz and his current feelings....

I have not been able to follow your thread that you normally post on as moves too quickly along with a few others that I try to keep abreast of...

Does Mr Shaz have a mental health team who check up on him? a case worker?

I know in the past that you have written about how he does not like pdocs perhaps even gp's?

His medication regime is often affected when he is very stressed I know..

I am concerned about those feelings that he had though..

Would he talk to lifeline if you were on the telephone with him...loud speaker on a mobile or something like that?

Perhaps he would be worried about upsetting you..

I hope that when you tell him that him feeling that way and not taking his medication correctly affects how he feels...has a domino effect...you then become more stressed...your health can be affected...

both of you working together looking after your health is achievable..

Even carers Australia have support workers who could visit you both..

Do you have a therapist to whom you can talk and relay just how much pressure you have on you and have had for some time now?

I hope that all of my questions do not offend you...

that my comments do not make you feel more pressured..

I sincerely want you to have some help that you so much deserve..

Re: Living with Ourselves

same to you @Bill16

I just postponed a test that I need to have for another week...taken some pressure off of myself..

It is hot here again today...

are you off to the beach again with your dog?

@eudemonism

how about you are you off for a drive to the beach with your dog?

You and boot might pass each other without knowing..

what an incredible world we live in...

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

Nah I'm not @Sophia1 the dog likes to take it easy during the warmer weather...
Same goes for me...
Have you gotten anything done today???
I've vacuumed and mopped, washed some towels, caught up with mentor for coffee, watered the garden-hoping some stone fruit seeds i planted pop up-apricot in particular...-gave the patch of ground a good soaking...
Not sure what's happening for rest of the day.......

Hello @Sophia1 might take her down this arvo,not sure see how I feel.have a good one 😊

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

Thank you for your message @Sophia1

I think I need 3 threads

Me --- very important to try to maintain regularity...-- very true , the doctor is worried and said I need to look after my kidney more , so I have messaged my dietician about it

my Uncle surgery went well , he is recovering in hospital which will take a while

Mr Shaz have a mental health team who check up on him? a case worker? -- No , he has no one to keep check on him , but we went to the doctor on monday and the doctor told him not to take all the meds togeher so he has started to take them at he right time

Do you have a therapist to whom you can talk-- no , I have emailed the carers australia

My Mum had a fall on tuesday and hurt her leg and the doctor kept her in hospital overnight

she had to go today and have her leg redressed , but she had another fall and bumped her head , doctor is worried about her , mum is at home now and I have to keep an eye on her to see if she is ok

hugs and love @Sophia1

Re: Living with Ourselves

What about you @Sophia1 how is your stability and moods from month to month? Does it fluctuate or does it remain stable?
