Living with Ourselves

Good morning @RedHorse

I am very sorry if I confused you with my response to your post on the worry room..

When I am very tired or not having a very good day...

I am easily confused...

experience fog brain..

I virtually get lost..

So do not like to reply to any response on worry room as I believe that is a space for opening up not wanting replies.

I then deleted my response to you which might have felt unkind...uncaring..

Quite the opposite.

Please accept my apology.

You are more than welcome to tag me wherever you write if you would like a reply or even write on this thread and tag me..

Or just accept it as you wish it to be...

About you and your needs...not mine..

Take care

Sophia

@Sophia1 😊💖

Good Morning @Sophia1 .
Thanks for your message. I appreciate your support of my worry room post and no problem with you replying and then deleting your reply. I can certainly understand the brain fog issue, especially at the moment. I will take you up on your offer to tag you and share on this thread when I am thinking a little more clearly. Thanks again. Take care, RedHorse 🌹🐴

Hello @RedHorse

Welcome to this part of the world...

My retreat where I come when feeling vulnerable or unsafe.

Also a place where I respond to others who have become friends...

I very much appreciate your being so understanding about the deletion of the worry room post.

I thought that I had reposted it on here or redirected you here..

I also managed to confuse a new person whom I was suppporting..

So do not be too concerned about fog brain as that is starting to look like being one of my character traits..

I do have some days with better clarity thankfully..

I love the red flower with the horse.

Nice to meet you

Take care

Sophia 💛

hi @Sophia1

yes we get along well, im sorry your son is unable to show emotion, it has been along time for me too, i never used to be able to up until a few years ago, i was so numb to everything, i still am to some degree but it is slowly going.

im sorry your son has had issues with meds, i am the same, the meds i am on make me tired and out of it, i guess it is to slow down the hyper vigilance.

i don't think the primary school i went to has ever admited to any wrong doing, i so wish i could name the school but i think the sane moderators would remove it. it was a catholic primary school, i read in the news today the french school nun's terrorised female students with crusifixes, they are a sick lot, how can a person hurt children so badly. they are meant to be kind and caring 😞

yes, my girlfriend uses RESPECT and she finds them very good, maybe i will call them sometime.

i just don't know if i am willing to face what happened to me just yet, i am not strong enough.

oh that sounds nice, dad and i drink coffee, dad never ate anything, mum loves a white wine on special occasions, a BBQ sounds amazing.

hugs my friend, i hope you had a good day today

Jacques

oh dear @Jacques

That is so incredibly hard for you to read of such atrocities still occurring after everything that you have been through and are moving past living your life now..

All of these royal commissions cost millions and court cases...

religion does not seem to come under the same realm of law after all of these years since King Henry v111..

My older son does not take medication...he was only on prescribed medication during hospital stay and then a couple of months after...he then stopped taking it...so this is the only time he has ever taken medication for that specific reason..other detainments were involuntary injections....

he does not believe that he is unwell..he uses prn for stress...

He uses prn for stress or calming down as required...cannot give details...

That is good to hear that your girlfriend also uses RESPECT and finds them good...I have used them myself and they are very caring ...respectful and gentle..

Call them yes ...only when you want to ...otherwise no use..

You are far stronger than you realise...

.You are so centred..have all of the caring, empathic qualities..have succeeded in gaining a qualification for a successful career..well done

You have a loving girlfriend.. who suffers herself apparently ...manages and you support her..

You have a loving mum'...

You also have a dad whom I am yet to hear more about...

Oh Jacques you have a history of unwell minds within your family ...

You are still you ...a genuine you..

When you are ready to make that call..this is what you might like to talk about or perhaps not..

Only you can make the choice whether to if and when ready...

The help will follow from there at your pace...

only when you are ready..

Now for our bbq

There will be 8 possibly...

although more likely 7...son not speaking to me tonight...you know how it goes don't you..

So coffee for yourself and your dad..soft drinks on hand and always a karafe of water that I have on hand

Your dad might like to nibble at some cheese , biscuits, olives. dips

we cook the bbq chatting away listening to others getting to know one another..

beef burgers....shaslicks...capsicum...sweet potato..chicken...sausages..onion...

tossed green salads ....potato bake...what is your preference?

My husband and I have a couple of glasses of wine with our meal so your mum will feel at home...

We can chat about the park opposite...

you can advise me on different plants for my garden..

raised garden bed vegetables..how to..what not to do...

have some herb plants..marjoram and rosemary laugh

Give a critique on what is needed...

what else I can plant...

husband interested in turf only laugh

does all the building...paving etc..gates

does your dad have an interest in the garden or building outside around the home?

We can dream can't we...

We can enjoy the imagining..

I grew up imagining ...

I never want to lose that..

must say goodnight..

lovely chat..

speak soon

dear friend hugs to you and your family

Sophia 💛💚💜
