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

That is an interesting concept.

@eudemonism

might come under the field of herbalism..

I would say from a different culture.

I used to know a Greek lady who cooked stinging nettles for their healing purpose..

I would suggest you investigate further before trying anything with them as apart from the obvious stinging you might have an adverse reaction..

certainly an interesting concept to look deeper into..

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 apparently the olden day folks would sting themselves with them to warm up.

Re: Living with Ourselves

that does make me feel better reading about the carer being there to look after you overnight..

@outlander

it does not matter what I feel anyway as this is not about me..

this is about you...all of you...

everything you have done and all of the many many times you have been there for others..

all of the times that you have been unwell but stepped up because others have not..

you are aware of all of this.,.,

I just want to remind you just in case that irritable emotion, guilt decides to try and take over some of your thinking ...

Usually the ones who feel guilty are the ones who care so much ....not the ones who walk away..

so rest up in hospital and at home..

thinking of you and wishing you a safe recovery..

love Sophia 💜

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 Hey Sophia1 and @eudemonism and @outlander love to all :D. I currently have son2 standing over me so my conversation will have to be short . Thinking of you outlander and wishing you well on your operation :). It will all go well I am sure and the results will definately be worth it :D. As for stinging nettles to keep yourself warm wow! I would have to be very cold to consider taking that course of action lol.

We live in a very cold house with no insulation which faces west so it is cold during the winter and really hot during the summer. We rug up like eskimos during the cold months and have fans going non stop during spring, summer and autumn. If I had to choose a month I liked best it would be winter as you can always rug up against the cold.

@Bunniekins @Sophia1

I'm tired of dealing with sleeping problems . It gets to me aye! And just going from one substance to another, to get through every day... and from what i can tell... medication is fuelling all of it ... not happy at all!

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

@eudemonism I agree eudemonism I sleep so much and it is all out of whack (during the day) and it is all medication induced. I hate it too. I dont know what the answer is to be honest just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. peax

Re: Living with Ourselves

hello @eudemonism @Bunniekins

and well anyone else who wants to be part of the conversation..

what is life is the question?

so many different expertations ...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

for me I have realised that it is not about my mind holding me back it is about my mind pushing me forward..'

medications complicate our efforts..

so let us work with them not against them..

then we can reduce them and be us..

what do you think?
