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 👋 @TAB

I rarely drink, havent for a very long time.

Used to drink way too much. Doctor warned me often to stop. I think I stopped in 2012. Probably wouldn’t be alive now if I hadn’t. Probably wouldn’t have cared to stop if I didn’t have D. She’s kept me going. The vodka really hit me last night. Had to disappear. Wasn’t in a good way. Cried myself to sleep eventually. Cry baby 😭 lol.

Normally I used to dance and have fun, sometimes when the dancing stopped, the tears would come. too many stressful things have gone on this year. Constantly.

Had to try numbing myself for a bit. Not a good idea last night. Actually afternoon, I think it was. 😖🤔😱

oh well. Can’t change yesterday.

Thanks for being there and to everyone else who was there for me last night.

Wont let me tag anyone. But thanks @Zoe @outlander @Sans911 and I m having trouble remembering who else. Funny how I have trouble tagging some, but not others????

Lovely to hear from you @Sophia1 Take care and will catch up soon. 💜💜

Hi @Shaz51 💜💖

Re: Living with Ourselves

Not sure what you mean, you didn’t appreciate what was going on on my side @TAB ??

I understand you had to go and nap. Not a problem at all. Often I can’t be on the forums for different reasons. It’s fine. 😺

Re: Living with Ourselves
