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 I think you are right about not being able to recall all our memories. For me it’s been like an old fashioned slide showing. Looking at a memory, and realising there’s so much more behind each slide. Maybe too much remembering is just that.. too much.

Not quitting has to be one courageous ongoing choice we make eh, and keep on making, even through the darkest, painful feelings persist.

Thinking of you @Sophia1 as always with kindness. 💜💕💜💕☕️☕️☕️

@Sophia1 @Bunniekins @Maggie @outlander @Shaz51

I'm hoping you're just going through a bad patch @Sophia1 how's the new house coming along? How are your cats? I ask because I've noticed when you're well you talk of such things .

Being unwell and down in the dumps is definitely not good . However it's something all people with mi go through from time to time. I'm reasonably well at present . But fear it's just a matter of time before i come unstuck.

Try to enjoy the weather and spring time. Try to work on self care routines . A little exercise . Some socializing. Some decent food . Sorry i don't know what else to say or how to help.
