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

Afternoon @Sophia1
I was thinking about you while i was driving past the beach today and took a pic. I need to wait till im home to upload it for you but it might be something you would like. It was actually strange that when i was thinking of you i drove past a street with the name 'Sophia' (wont specificy is its street, avenue, road etc fo identity purposes) and it remined me to take a pic for you.
Funny how things pan out sometimes isnt it.
Hoping todays ok for you 💓

Re: Living with Ourselves

oh how beautiful @outlander

that is what I believe to be a spiritual connection with a person...

I am honoured and humbled at the same time...

I do hope that you are feeling some relief from your own struggles...

you can talk to me here... only if you feel that you want to..

be how you feel most comfortable...which of course changes for us all of the time doesn't it.,..on our merrygoround of life..

I comfort myself occasionally when feeling in a brighter state of mind that at least we are discovering who we are...

such boring emoticons xxx

Re: Living with Ourselves

wow @outlander

is this close by to where you live? this could be your own private beach....imagine riding a horse along here...

I will have my bag packed and ready to go....I am on my way...

what a beautiful spot...noone there...my gosh I would be walking along there daily...

the sea is actually blue...

thank you for thinking of me.....I shall use this picture as part of my grounding when I close my eyes and visualise that I am somewhere special....

when we were away when ever it was...seriously my head....we went to the hinterland part of nsw and one of the beaches that took a fair way to walk to was almost like this...we waded through the sea ...further down the beach were two people riding horseback....watching them take them into the sea was mesmerising...

how is your hand? good news for you I am hoping....

are you managing sometime for you doing something that makes you smile...feel more settled?

Thank you again...bless you outlander xxx

Re: Living with Ourselves

This is one of our pretty beaches however when the weathers not so good it looks very yukky @Sophia its a 45 min drive from me though but i dont go often. Weve got a few but they all have dogs on it. I wiah there was one that wasnt allowed dogs tbh they always seem to be filled with them so i dont go anymore. It was pretty quiet though today so could stay a few minutes before my appt time.

Ive been beach riding a few time but that was yrs ago. I dont ride much and i dont have a horse anyway. Was fun at the time though.

Your more than welcome to use this pic as a grounding imagine. If i travel 2-3 hrs south during certain parts of the yr theres usually dolphins and they come so close i could pat them. Our last holiday about 2 yrs ago i was up at 6 watching them and there were swimmers out there too and rhe dolphins were pretty much swimmig with them. Was so good to watch.

Re: Living with Ourselves

I seen the specialist today. We checked the xrays and its still healing very slowly . 😞 you can still see the break so I need to still be careful but its at the point now I can rest a little easier and can move It just a little bit She put the tens machine on and will try to do that abit to help with the nerves too. It felt weird but not painful. Shes given me some exercises to do not hard ones mostly just getting my arm moving again. I still wear the splint all the time however with the cast I only need to wear it like at the horses or during sleep or if theres a chance I might knock it but when im at home chilling take It off and start weaning off the cast itself. I need to keep massaging my hand and arm gently and the exercises shes given me each day and just keep doing those. My hand and arm are really hurting tonight after having the work done on it. Its making my anxiety rise abit and making ir rather uncomfortable. I see her again in 10 days to check and see how things are going.

My anxiety is all over the place atm goes up and down like a roller coaster.
Im not all that settled still have quite a few thinga happening offline and had to come to terms with another physical diagnosis but isnt too bad.-extremely allergic to dust pollen grass seeds etc and have allergy induced asthma

How are you going? How was your time away?

Re: Living with Ourselves

hello @outlander

are the dogs on leads? we have special beaches where the dogs can be off the leash and others they have to be leashed....which is fair...

are you frightened of dogs? sorry if this is a triggering question...as always no need to answer...just bypass...

good news about your hand even though slowly healing...is still healing and you are able to get a bit of a break from the cast...

keeping up your exercises as you would know will help tremendously long term...

after any physiotherapy session there is usually discomfort sometimes straight away sometimes not until the next day...yes sometimes quite painful...this is a sign that they have worked on the spot...

not easy if worsens your anxiety.... do you have any prn that you can take for random situations?

did physiotherapist mention ice packs or heat packs? not sure if you can do that with a break...don't do anything like that without asking the experts first...

I use a gel pack that I iced initially...now I heat and put that on my back...I have it every night and helps settle me...

hearing of another diagnosis is very anxiety driven...once you take in the news you start to settle when you have some answers and strategies...I hope that your specialist answers all of your questions and is reassuring...

If your anxiety persists ...perhaps see your gp or if you can get a closer appointment with your psychologist or psychiatrist? can't remember...

actually...it is a wonder that I remember my own name these days..

I managed to get to the pool today and do some exercises which made my mind and body feel better..

sending you calm and peaceful thoughts....well wishes for a sound sleep and restful night...you so deserve it outlander...

ps...I swam with dolphins years ago by chance...actually stroked one...most incredible experience...we also saw dolphins in the river from our apartment on that holiday in the hinterlands...

night night outlander ....sweet dreams...used to say that to my two boys every night after story time...long time ago now xxx
