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

Sorry that you are in so much pain @Sophia1

I understand the frustration of seeing specialists etc

Often their opinions aren’t always correct. Long waiting etc etc etc. I can’t type much now. The sleep meds cause my eyes to be blurry and they often don’t even help me sleep.

Will try getting back to sleep. It’s still dark out.

Take care. 💜💖🌷🌸☕️

Yea i could imagine how hard relaying professional opinions from one professional to another would be... especially when they've all got different opinions about the same patient and the same problem ... i get that with my mh issues ...

I'm only just realizing the importance of being employed and having a career ... be cause alot of my problems stem from lonliness, bordom and feeling stagnant... /wanting to get on with life...

Re: Living with Ourselves

Yea same you @MDT

It took me years to accept the diagnosis and treatment ... and to realize it's all real and legit... instead of being in denial about it.

Nowdays I'm often thinking where is the way forward? And usually i can't come up with any answers...

Yea friendships can be a bumpy ride at times . I should really stop to appreciate my few close friends and family . Because without them . Life would be a sight worse . For myself it feels like all my relationships are teetering between functional and dysfunctional . Apart of the pack and yet a lone wolf at the same time .

There's a big difference between being a patient and a friend 😊 itstr

Hey Eude

I was making my way around to this thread.

Loved your last comment re patient vs friend..

your humour is a delight...

thank you for the beaming smile I have on my face.

Hope that you are surviving the cold, windy ,weather.

We had brief hail travelling back from the city yesterday.

Yes making a decision about keeping a circle of some family and some friends in our life is helpful although yes can be very wearing at times.

my mother is playing games again and I am just thinking whatever. will keep the peace.
