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

Yes @Sophia1 a break from myself would be wonderful. If only that were possible. 😔

Enjoy the garden. Even weeds have their own beauty. 💜

Hello @Sophia1 I'm thinking of you.

I hope your weekend was okay. Good would be even better.

Mine was not good, I'm still here so that's good.

It was lovely to talk (write) to you yesterday.

So true what you said about tears (crying) being healthy release.

I had a visit from a friend who lives 2 hour's drive away, this afternoon. I had not seen her since last year.

So that was nice.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Passing by quickly

will not tag names as do not want to leave anyone out..

you are all important

love hearing from all of you

I had to have a small surgical procedure in back again..quite deep..so am uncomfortable...to be expected..

not looking forward to MRI coming up on friday which might even be postponed depending on surgery progress..

ugh..having to convey messages and questins between specialists and radiologists...an absolute nightmare...

hoping that all improving...happier..healthier...or even dare we think "wow" in someone's world reading this...

it is possible..

take care ..

you all know who you are 💚💙💜💛🧡❤🤎🖤💗💝

Hi all, just letting you know I'm thinking about you all

Just dealing with the daily angst of getting on with life here

If it's not angst it's feeling low, stopping and becoming morbid

Wish there were away around it but i don't think there is

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @eudemonism

I get what you are saying..

am at this minute trying to force the sides of my mouth to form a smile...

when it hits...it hits...

Sometimes all of the meditation, mindfulness, distraction, etc works..

Sometimes we just have to let it be there...

at least noticing that it is there is a start on a pathway to somewhere...

letting you know that it is a very hard place to be ....you are not alone on here though..

I feel alone within a circle of friends, family, even husband when I am really bad..

it is my stuff so how can someone else ever be with me in my stuff...

it is ok to be alone too..

just be alone on here so that we know and we can tell you that we know that you are alone and it is ok for you to be alone with us on here..

yes mumbo jumbo

welcome to my world.

💜🧡💚

I am including @Maggie @outlander @Adge @Former-Member @Former-Member @TAB @Bunniekins @Meowmy @MDT others on other threads..

all gets too hard..

am supposed to only have MRI tomorrow if back not hurting...

back still hurting...

what is worse is trying to communicate with different specialists and medical people..

so am having MRI regardless of pain just to get the whole blasted thing over with...

I am over the whole medical system..

apologies to all of those who are so very dedicated and do so much good including my therapist and gp...sadly these people are in the greater minority...

vent over for now...
