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

@eudemonism Hi Eude sorry you bumped into these family members whilst you were as you say 'OUT and ABOUT'. Everyone is different Eude. I have a very forgiving nature for other people BUT never forgive myself for past sins (something I am working on with psychologist's help). Strange that aye.

'Basically avoiding and ending relationships because of fear of being shamed because of my past behaviour.' I do this all the time. It is like voluntarily crucifying yourself over and over again because you just can't get over your behaviour in the past when you, talking about me here, was sick.

I don't know what the answer is Eude just keep plugging away. Keep putting one foot after the other and try to raise yourself above everything which is dragging you down.

Have a good day my dear friend Eude. greenpea

Thanks for including me @Sophia1 and @TAB for tagging me - I do read this thread but don't often post here - you have a great group of members and great interactions with others here It is lovely to see you all supporting each other and it doesn't matter how much or how little you are each here - it all matters.

Re: Living with Ourselves

I think everyone has got their fair share of burdens to carry @Sophia1 and everyone has a cross to bare...
I'm in a material thinking mode at the moment. I'm thinking about everything i need/want to achieve my goals... & of course-it all comes down to $$$

Re: Living with Ourselves

Yea @Bunniekins it's good to talk about stuff like this. It's definitely enlightened me about others going through the same thing-maybe it's just human nature-i know I've done what you're talking about plenty.
Trying to make life and the social scene work so desperately-but internally thinking-this is never going to work.
