Living with Ourselves

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

Thank you @Shaz51 @Maggie @Bunniekins @Adge @outlander

and so many others who have supported me in the past...many have moved on..

I really am struggling at the moment..

have not felt this bad in a long long time..

I should be over the moon with our new home finally being built..

I should be so content that husband's family appear to have finally accepted me...only because I have made the effort yet again...I do this for my husband

I should be happy sister finally showing more interest in me...even though mother not wanting me to visit...I might be contagious..

I should be happy one son is successful and building new home..am so very very happy for him and he is moving closer to me...

so why?

other family member ....

losing communication again..not missing physically... missing in communication...conversation...

I feel that i have lost him yet again...person will not be here for long...

I now do not feel safe...aggressive tone triggering my past experiences ..person knows that I will always love them no matter what...health deteriorated.,..

will be moving on soon ..

painful that cannot be together..

dreading what is to come..

member not having any professional help at all...

trusts only myself and father...

what is the matter with this world?

I feel overwhelmed with grief...loss....rage....love...

so what am I doing to those who are believing and loving me and wanting to be with me in this world..those who are living their own battles and still here...not blaming me...?

I am wallowing in this insipid depression that totally encompasses me and I feel nothing...

How can illness separate...?

I have worn a mask for the majority of my life..

I still do with the majority of people in my life...

in fact it is only my husband, two sons, sister and one friend who know..

it is very exhausting...draining...keeping up a facade..

hence I started isolating....have been doing again...

so I have to work at confronting my isolating...this is feathering the nest for my depression..

thank you for reading if you have got this far....

thank you for supporting..

I do not expect anyone to understand me...as I am far too deep apparently..

I truly do respect and appreciate each and everyone's support on here..

thank you

💕💜

Hearing you @Sophia1 and sending love and gentle hugs with a hand to hold if that will help 💕

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 I do understand so much of what you have expressed, along with all that is not expressed. I know the masks, exhaustion, isolation and much more. I have thought in the past that change in physical circumstances would also change my mood, but no, mental illness is a very hard and long road.

I am sorry one family member is unwell and withdrawing into a world of their own, strangely I can understand it in part, good help is hard to find as well as trust. Heartbreaking for you, I hear your pain.

Its always good to hear from you, when you can, no matter how you are.

I appreciate your support. 💕💜💕💜

Re: Living with Ourselves

love your responses @Maggie @Bunniekins @outlander

at the same time not diminishing others whom I have tagged not responding..

as I know that there are times where i myself and others are just not able for whatever reason..

perhaps even unable to.. understand this also

I cancelled a few carers outings at the last minute which I regret so much.. they were outings that so appealed..

I just could not do it..

how sad is that...

how pathetic is where I go...I am crying as I write...what is so bad about me that I cannot even go on an outing with others who have some issues in their lives...why am I so much more indespicable..

there are very quiet people whom I talk to who now seek me out ...they are so interesting to listen to..

what is wrong with the rest of the world.
