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

so sorry had to edit of course as usual..

Yes my dear @Shaz51

Best thing that you can do for you .....

this then becomes the best outcome for your loved ones...

I am practising what I am speaking finally...

It is hard...not easy...

I am sticking with it though..

All the best to you Shaz you beautiful soul.....

I cannot explain what it is ...

I sense between your words your loving...selfless...gentle...pure...soul .. a person who give so much to others...

I really do sense this...

Enough...

Do not reply...

Take that time now to feel where you are at now... rather than think too hard about everything...

Deal with what you can in the now...that is all any of us humans can do at any one time..

then rest...rest...rest..

you are well overdue...

love you Shaz

🧡💛💚💙💜❤🤎

Re: Living with Ourselves

hello @Jacques

I thought that I had already directed you over here...

Not very good with techno stuff..

I want to connect with you if you wish re the mention of self isolation as this has taken up many of my years along with dissociation...not sure if you are familiar with that term... I only heard of it within the last few years and helps me better understand the self isolation...

I am of course offering support or discussion in this area from a positive perspective..

I do not believe that it is a subject raised very often.. in fact would go further and state seems to be one of those awkward conversations...as in which label can we put this under.....

my immediate answer is none...no labels thank you..

should you wish to discuss this further or at least communicate I am here with open arms...

I am here to listen at the same time for myself connect with a human being whom has experienced this...

so let me reassure you...

no expectation about depth or reasons why....just opening up the conversation around the fact that it is real..

Re: Living with Ourselves

Yes Dissociation is a major struggle @Sophia1 Like you said, it has taken many years away from me also.

Dissociation & Complex PTSD (Long-Term Trauma) were identified by a Psychologist- 11 & 1/2 years ago.

It feels like nothing much has changed, since then - When in fact, it probably has.

I just don't see the point in being given Diagnosis (Labels) - When the professional who gave (gives) the Diagnosis, doesn't offer any treatments or methods to change the situation (or to help heal).

Hugs ((((Sophia))))

In response to: Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

good morning @Shaz51

I am a bit weary this morning...I stayed in bed until 9.30am deliberating about getting up...for about half an hour..

not helpful really...still it is a form of resting....keeping still laugh..

I had problems with my covid app on my mobile yesterday.

Helpline is closed over the weekend!

annoying...

How are you feeling today? Did you manage to have some rest as opposed to just sleep.?
