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

@TAB

I am struggling with life.

Situation with family member has become way beyond what I had ever thought.

Very unwell and strong evidence of permanent damage from long term of no treatment.

So I am learning to live differently again.

I am currently in a state of amygdala hijack I was advised by a specialist yesterday and am to relay this information to my own therapist. If I can remember. I had to look it up just then.

I have heard of fight or flight response but not amygdala.

You probably wish you had not asked now.

I am safe though Tab, so no need for concern in that area.

I am doing different things to normal to help myself until I can have my regular therapy sessions after holiday period.

I have also been writing quite a bit.

all varied stuff.

just flowing out of my mind.

how are you Tab?

Sophia 💚

It's good to see you @Sophia1

I hope you are ok 🙏 Thank you for sharing that gorgeous photo, yes we do have a lot to learn x Take care of you 💞


Hello @Anastasia

Thank you also for taking the time to reply.

I do not know your story or perhaps I did once upon a time and have a blank space there in my mind.

So many blank spaces add up to blank overload.

I hope that you have some special moments to help you along in your journey

Take care

Sophia 💚


Thank you @Sophia1 , we've had little interactions before and I think you're lovely. My name has changed so you wouldn't know me by this name. All good though hopefully we will cross paths again lovely x

Re: Living with Ourselves

sounds rough @Sophia1 i'm mostly not working last bit had health scare last week, got blood clots on lungs

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

Yes I do understand the name change.

I went down that track before myself @Anastasia

Did you like afternoon teas?

Or did you have an old armchair that you loved sitting in?

I will not mention your previous name if either of these are the case.

Nice to hear from you regardless.

Quite wonderful really when you think about it.

Making a new friend from an already existing one. 🐾💚

Re: Living with Ourselves

Oh dear @TAB

That would be a shock to hear that.

I hope that you are having imminent treatment and under good medical care.

I understand not working considering this condition.

Please be very careful and look after Tab as you are very important to many of us on here.

Please tag me if you continue to update people.

If you prefer to have a rest and look after yourself, that is understandable also.

Whatever is best for you Tab.

Sophia big hug 💜💚💛

Re: Living with Ourselves

yeah just need to get better @Sophia1 Thanks am usually around Re: Tabalugas will try to remember tagging you. Well I wasnt working anyway, and scan was for something else, clots found by chance

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

ah @TAB

clots found by chance

my tumour around my spine was found by chance testing for my heart

meant to be that we are still needed here.

I am sure that you feel like me at the moment not wanting to be needed, just wanting to be free like a bird

we can use our imaginations

take care cheshire cat

Sophia 💛
