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

I empathise with you @Sophia1 I am struggling with my body pain, & the stiff back, neck, & knees, & left hand, at the moment, too. Unless one goes though this, it really is hard for others to understand. Believe me when I say to you, I understand!

Some how we will get through this, I believe that!

Love & Hugs!

Re: Living with Ourselves

Yes you are right...

@Former-Member

my back is worse after going for a walk...I could feel it when I was walking..

It makes me so upset because walking has been my lifeline for most of my life...

So I must not give up...

there are others on here with long term chronic pain also...

Your injuries make mine pale in comparison..yet you show empathy towards me ....

I get so tired of having to justify why I cannot do something..

people see me and assume that I am fine...

some family members are actually put out that I do not fit in with their needs...

Yes we will get though this...we will not stop believing that...💜

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1

I loved walking, I walked long distance daily for years, My fitness level was high. I loved to lift light weights, I had a Membership at the Local Gym. I danced & was happy, even though I had lost so much material possessions, & family in my life. Then just like a Bomb I lost the ability to be mobile, & free to live my life Chronic painless, & all of my friends, because I could no longer fit in with them.

Then Spinal surgery without proper human love, & support. I am standing now, No More Loss!

You & I Will get back our health, I am standing with you Sophia, 2 can stand STRONG!

Amen!
