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 @outlander

I struggle ..

I have ebbs and tides of different emotions..

There always seems to be so much happening externally.

I seem to automatically go to dissociation...my instinctive survival I believe..

Both husband and I have been physically unwell...husband worse..about 4 weeks for me and about 5 for him..he is on strong antibiotics and is being monitored closely ..chest xrays and bloods..

both on the mend

so in answer to your question how am I?

I really do not know..

How are you?

Your hospital appointment coming closer?

I read about you pop and know how sad that is to see as a friend let alone a loved one.

I do hope that respite care has been put in place so that you can concentrate on your own wellbeing.

Sorry if I have repeated stuff that you have already talked about.

You do mean a lot to me.

I have a friend who volunteers with young carers ...the younger age group..she is a perfect fit.

Big hug...I will wear a mask to keep the germs away 💜

@Maggie @outlander @eudemonism @Former-Member @Shaz51

my tagging is not working that well I noticed on other days..

The image of the tree for me is one that I try to hold in my memory.

It brings forth many feelings within me when I look at it.

I hope that you can each find something from the image also.

@Sophia1

Just the other day i pruned up the trees in the backyard. The myrtle. The fig. The pear. The peacherine.

All the best for this Sunday.

I love figs..

I love trees.
