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

It is wonderful that you had a good Christmas day and that special time with your mum @Sophia1 I find the aftermath of Christmas is when I relax and so feel it the most - maybe that is the same with you as well as with the difficult days coming up.

You are very much needed here Hon and you insight and viewpoint are also important. We all bring our own unique point of view to here and yours is one that is very much needed. I am so pleased that you came back and didn't stay away too long - I do miss you when youo are not here. I often read a long but don't comment but I couldn't let your post today go unanswered - it seems like you are battling with quite a lot and I wanted to let you know how much you are thought of and how valuable your contribution is here. Hugs and hugs Hon - look after yourself first too

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @eudemonism

This is a realist approach which suits me ...

An interesting topic which I am not sure has a thread about already...

You might like to start one Eude...

Having negative thoughts is natural? How can we deal with them?

along those lines perhaps

or you might already have your own ideas...

or might just not want to...

suggestion

Thank you for sharing as well...much appreciated...and appropriate in my world at the moment...

take care Eude 💜

Hi @Sophia1

Quiet NYE for me too. Though I did attend @Zoe7 NYE beach party, which was a bit of fun. I even saw in the new year.

So thats it for another year! Like you said, I hope 2019 presents new opportunities and a brighter future for you and all of us here. I wish you the very best.

Sherry 💜🤗💕
