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

I have decided to delete my last post.

I wrote it in my journalling style, way over here.

I added a warning.

I now feel that it is best not left here.

Those who read this, letting you know so that I don't confuse you.

It is just moi removing my debris.

Re: Living with Ourselves

I am so very very sorry @Anastasia @Emelia8

I am finding it very hard to navigate the forums these days.

I log on and my mind takes me to the latest subject on a particular thread.

Sometimes people whom I have not interacted with before.

Then as I spend a long time checking what I have written aside from thinking about the content before, I find myself drained or running out of time spent on the computer, sitting, stiffening.

On logging out I suddenly remember that I have not even replied to those who have supported my comments or responded.

This again seems to mirror real life.

All of my energy is spent in day to day existing. Little sleep if any.

I have therapy and have even asked the question is it working.

Then I look at all that has happened in such a short period of time on top of previous mounds of trauma building up.

Why do I constantly expect myself to have "super powers"

If I did would they actually resolve all of the issues in my life?

Fast forward my therapy recovery?

Is it my therapist's fault that life is just too hard at the moment with further life events?

I think that thinking sometimes should be banned!!

Re: Living with Ourselves

It's ok @Sophia1

we understand and I just want you to know there are no expectations around responding or being in a particular place. Here on your thread is fine when you can...keep taking care of YOU.

Love and hugs always xox
