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

Thanks for thinking of me @Sophia1

Sorry, but I’ll have to come back another time to reply.

It’s been a huge emotional day again.

Take care of yourself and sleep well.

Too tired to think now.

👋💜💖🌷🌸

Re: Living with Ourselves

Thank you all @eudemonism @Maggie @MDT @outlander @Former-Member @Adge @TAB @Gazza75

@Gazza75 we have not met yet ...how lovely of you to show support regardless...thank you...apologies...I do not know your story...I do not have the capacity or time at the moment to follow everyone...which I do wish that I could..

No need for anyone to apologise re responding in any shape or form...

I know most of you so well and know that I too can apologise for not being there enough..

we all know deep down that we must look after ourselves as well as care for others.,.

I am fine..more frustrated and annoyed with the systems even within the private system...the specialists all live in their own individual boxes and do not speak the same language as those in other boxes...

meanwhile the patient of said specialists has to somehow communicate between these boxes...albeit specialists to find out what..why...how...when is happening and deal with the huffing and puffing...

So yes I am already over it yet again...

so they can jolly well hear if the pain worsens due to length of time of MRI ..

apologies all...

thanking you all ...please ignore my venting part...

I sincerely appreciate your caring support...

Again I ask myself why are we all so caring and supportive on here yet in real life ...most people avoid the subject??

an enigma

💚

Re: Living with Ourselves

Haha @outlander

I should be asleep by now as have to get up at 6.30am tomorrow morning to get ready then drive down to city in peak hour traffic...about 75-90min drive...even longer if weather is still very bad as has been today....

haven't been sleeping lately at all despite taking more meds...

had dinner at relative's place tonight and came home and found some old white port...so I thought well why not...better than sleeping tablets that are not working so two small glasses...

had some dark chocolate as well which hmm...not a good idea...

eyes wide opened yet drooping...I am sure that you know the scenario..

how are you feeling at the moment apart from long term medical issues...how are things with your Pop and home situation?

Sophia 💜

Re: Living with Ourselves

I believe that people avoid the subject in real life because of two thing @Sophia1
Perception and security. People don't want to be perceived in a certain way owing to their insecurity.
I have found that shedding a lot of skin with people I am friends with in real life is a liberating way to deal with it. Put simply, I'm really no longer interested in what others say or do or think about my own mental health. It's a bit like how I enjoy playing strategy games on PC. Some people find it dull and tedious. That's their issue.
Weird analogy I guess but I hope it makes my point clear.
The benefit of being here is that we are all people in real life and we bring that with us to forumland (where forumites live)

I guess we also have a set of laws and customs that make us a culture lol. Maybe one day we will have our own state lol.

The system is almost a joke. I say almost because it does have an element of utility, but there are a lot of dints in the armour.

Anyway my friend. Vent away as young @outlander has said.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Urgh peak hr traffic in horrid weather and lack of sleep doesnt really make a good combo @Sophia1
Hopefully youll at least get a few hrs.

Eyes wide open yet droopy-yes indeed i do know That feeling. Can be quite annoying trying to work out if your going to sleep or not 😑😑

I am quite worried which i s mostly what is keeping me up. I have a rare infection that was picked up on one of my tests. Ive writen about it on another thread if you would like to read but no pressure.
Apart from that nothings really changed except pop becoming increasingly more difficult.
