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

I am having an ultrasound on the 27th november and will find out more if something needs to be done there in regard to that also......

I am feeling very depressed...anxiety ridden when depression not devouring me...

I think that you know these times only too well...

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 Thank you. Kind caring words. They do mean so much, specially when the opposite is going on inside.

I read on a long rave you are struggling yourself.... I'm proud of you also....

I tried to put words together on my thread about how I am, but honestly @Sophia1 I don't know ????? Strange but true. Moments of reprieve, then back in the darkness for no apparent reason. I have signed a lease of 12 mths, so that is sorted. Brain freeze sorry.

Have a goodish evening, I'm watching better homes and gardens, nice and light. 💛💕💜🐾🐾🐾

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 Sorry about the brain freeze last night.

So very sorry to hear you are facing more operations, so very very hard. Also your friend with cancer. Anxiety and depression are hard battles to fight. As you often say to me and others, no need to reply. Take as much time/rest as you can/need. Warm thoughts and a fragile hug, I don't want to dislodge anything. I will drop off little pressies just to look at if you manage to come online. Lots of these for you. 💜💜💜💜💜
