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

@Sophia1 without a doubt... I'm dealing with some serious issues. And there is no miracle or magic cure for it unfortunately.

There's good days and there's bad days. But all in all. It's a difficult journey.

I understand what they say about money and good health. The worst part is. I can't shake this idea. That the depot injection is a huge part of the problem I'm dealing with.

Re: Living with Ourselves

hello @eudemonism

thank you for replying and thinking of me...

nothing to do with mental illness is easy...

once I accepted that fact I found it less stressful to cope ...take on changes...

medication changes affect everyone...

the biggest step is agreeing to make the change...

then the next step is realising how brave we are in doing that....many don't

a day at a time is something that we hear so often...it does help though...as well as remembering to breathe...the number of times I check myself and find that I am holding my breath is ridiculous...

breathing helping me to relax...in turn decreasing..alleviating tension...pain..headaches..

looking for something simple...I always use nature because of it's sheer beauty and it is around us in abundance if we open our eyes and notice...

feeling pleasure is soothing and a natural medicine...all part of helping us through the stages of medication change..

you are doing this...focus on the good in that...no peaking at the future...it isn't there yet anyway..

use the forums to journal each day..write about your feelings...vent...

also write about what made you smile...what simple sight?

this is what I am doing every day....I shall start writing it down on here too..

and many more whom I temporarily cannot think of..

last picture posted on here is of:

a beautiful beach in Turkey...for us all to go to in our minds at some stage together...

no need to respond...we all have our own stuff....

just a way for me to let you all know and those whom I have missed that we can close our eyes ...picture a scene that is available for us to visualise without cost or pain...

if we can practise this together on our own at the same time...we are putting something magical in place for ourselves...

meet you there in mind xxx
