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

Its okay @Sophia1 , there really is no need to go looking for my threads. Besides ... I havent written on either my LE thread or my Carers thread in a while, so no use in tagging you. Fact is .. Ive been quiet for a while, with little to say and even less to give. I do read posts though and utilise the support button where appropriate to let others know I care.

@Sophia1

Not writing much these days Soph as it's not returning an income. And telling the same story a 1000 different ways has gotten boring. If anything, other people are using it and gaining.

No i probably don't need all the extra luxuries I've got. But the money always gets spent on something. So i figure loans and buying big items /doing big jobs. Its like saving in advance. Sometimes it has to be done to continue living.

You'll have to let me know what the problem with your car was. Because i think when there's lots of rain and moisture around. It tends to mess with cars and their systems. I've been researching all the possible problems my car could have. But it's turning into one thing after another. Literally a huge list...

All for now Soph as i don't want to bother you with my ramblings about my problems and issues 💝

hello @outlander @Former-Member @eudemonism @Maggie

It can be hard to respond when we do not have the energy..

sometimes no words come..

just blank..

I wish you all some serenity and peace during your blanks.

I have found not forcing the blanks to dissipate works best...

just oh well blank again..

offering support to others is a great medicine in itself and you do that well

Big group hug 💚💜🌺
