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

Hi @Sophia1

I'm thinking about getting on with life and being around people more often. Being a son, being a brother and being a friend . Always having the next objective and goal lined up. Always having the next relationship to tend to.

The above paragraph has not really been taken into account bye all whom I've turned toward for support . It's like there wasn't even any consideration into this aspect of my life .

Also being an employee . Being someone who looks after himself and others.

Just before i put some thought into improving my personal hygiene and household hygiene.

Hello @eudemonism @outlander @Former-Member @Meowmy @MDT @Bunniekins

@Exoplanet @Teej @eth @Maggie @Former-Member @Adge @TAB

I am trying to remember all of the names of people who have supported me on here of late.

I thank you all

Again I apologise for not being able to know everyone's current situation.

I caught up with some on here, some on Hamsolo thread

as well as exoplanet on yours...

I have been struggling with symptoms of major depression again for some time now

along with too much upheaval, angst amongst people I know..

I am working on one day at a time.

I am extremely tired and lack motivation..

I cry often when alone

I even told my husband how bad my depression was for the first time ever...

So I am working on distractions...similar styles on hamsolo thread

as well as music turned up high..

reading library books

last surgery for me result was benign cyst very deep.

husband's result found early would have been cancer and spread through organs and tissues if left much longer.

calls from family member

other son talking about how much he went through with his dad at times he stayed there...

mother not wanting me to visit her again..

not back into exercise yet...one day..

I just feel like one big mess ..

so please do not let my mood or words affect any of you..

I know that you all have so much going on in your own worlds..

I am following my advice to others and putting it into words...venting...

I will get through this...this will pass..

sending hugs to you all 💜
