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

Hello @eudemonism

So sorry to hear that you are struggling with ongoing problems..

Opening up about them on these forums is a good way of releasing...venting your feelings rather than burying them..

As you know this creates worse issues..

Take care 🐾💚

Thank you @Maggie

Yes that is one thing that we can all be sure of nothing stays the same..

Adjusting my thoughts as an ongoing exercise helps

I do hope that life is being kinder to you now and that you have managed to settle..

Take care 🐾💚💜

Re: Living with Ourselves

Yea @Sophia1 waking up in the mornings is very difficult, because I've pretty much got stuff all to get on with and do... but at least i can semi accept it these days ... and at least I'm realizing what my issues have been about as well, and at least I'm realizing the problem and solution from my prospective and not others prospective ... even though no one cares about it ...

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @eudemonism

Your response tells me that you are learning more and more about yourself...increasing your self awareness...

many people do not even realise that there is such a thing...

Getting out of bed in the mornings can be tough yes...cold weather does not help...how we are feeling on the day making it even harder..

You push through though.

You have determination and conviction....

The journey has been very difficult for you...now you are approaching life from your perspective rather than listen to others who have no training..perhaps some are more concerned with their own issues?

I have found that the greater majority of people have no understanding of mental health even if they have experienced bouts of symptoms..

Not everyone has an enquiring mind.

I hope that you are proud of how much you have achieved.

You have made many friends on here as well as supported many during times of need..

You have a lovely soul Eude ...always remember that..

I am reminding myself to think about where I was and how far I have come..

I try to remember to notice something beautiful about nature every day...Magical..

Re: Living with Ourselves

I've prepared a statement for the next psychiatrist appointment. 'I cannot solve your problems, please leave me alone, or i will sue you for $750,000' @Sophia1 then I'm going to walk out...

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 i just loved being punished by society for being mentally ill. I love the needle full of psychiatric drugs they give me every month. It's my whole meaning and purpose to life. Uhh.ahhh .i love it .

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hey everyone,

I'm not sure if I'm picking up some tension here. The nature of online communication means things can be misunderstood without social or verbal cues.

It may be that I have completely missed the mark and any frustration in this discussion is directed at the mental health system and the way our society can stigmatise mental illness, rather than each other.

So if it's all okay, please don't mind me, but if there is any tension and support is needed please don't hesitate to email us at team@sanforums.org

Take care,

Tortoiseshell
