Living with Ourselves

Hello @TAB

Thank you

I am confused..

What is new one might think..

Is this referring to my not being able to walk across the road and walk in my park?

Or is this a place to park oneself....feel like a space in a park where one can find solace?

I am intrigued as I did watch the video....

Have to say would not rush to follow the band....laugh

Nice to hear from you though

Sophia 💚 green heart for our very green park

not sure what the song is supposed to mean, there is no deep meaning, you mentioned 'park' somewhere so brain went 'oh, look what's stored under 'park .. that's the length and breadth of that. No answer to the Universe or whatever @Sophia1 think that is 19.. lol

oh laugh @TAB

That sounds so much like something I would do..

The best thing is that even though I am so hard on myself and I have an idea that you might be the same with yourself...

look at the outcome...

A conversation eventuated..

We are so much better than we give ourselves credit for..

As for where I mentioned park that would probably be around trying to get back to walking in my park..

still on the agenda..

Good morning @Clawde dear friend

lovely to see you drop by..

@Jacques @Appleblossom @Anastasia @Adge @Exoplanet @Krishna @outlander @Emelia8 @RedHorse @Bunniekins @Oaktree @HenryX @MDT @TAB

all who have visited or I have spoken to elsewhere and many more ...

I tried to paste the link....not good at that..perhaps someone can do it for me please...

help😮

so here are the words

Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say

But baby, I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey

Why worry?
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now?

Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
No, it isn't hard to say

But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way

Why worry?
There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now?
Why worry now?

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

Dear @Jacques

You mentioned the feeling of numbness..

I think that for me numbness has been around my clinical depression or whatever the new label is these days...at the same time trauma....

It comes and goes for me..

The fact that you are now able to show emotion is a huge achievement..you clearly have been working very hard at finding yourself admidst all of the numbness...

Again you have come a long way...I always want to remind a person to be proud when I hear of change...

It is so easy to tell others this and forget ourselves....I am in this category myself..

People who have never been through any struggles like this have no concept of how extremely painful and heartwrenching living with symptoms and pushing ourselves onwards is..

The medication side with symptoms is something that you might choose to check with a doctor if they interfere too much with the quality of your life..

Hope to hear from you when you can write

hugs my friend

Gosh that's an effort @Sophia1 was just out for a walk here ah I go to youtube then you click on share , then 'copy' ok after already 'replying' so you have a blank reply page on sane go to youtube , share, copy , back to sane and paste then hit enter and it usually comes up with pics etc as well

hi @Sophia1

yes you are right, depression runs through my mums side of the family, i know i have it, it is difficult to manage and control sometimes.

im not wanting to alter the meds, as i had my medication not work one time and the anxiety was unbearable, i was so distressed, it was so scary and so upsetting, i just have to learn to live with it.

hugs my friend, im not feleing well today, i will send another message when i feel a little better.

hugs

Jacques

Dear @Sophia1

Keeping low profile. Gently coming back from crisis.

To quote from your song.

There should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain

@Bunniekins

'The giggle at a funeral' .... like that.. especially if you were really there with me.

So glad you are back and IN FORM on the forum.

I had a funeral this week, but it was kind of sad bittersweet, lovely as it meant my old friend was no longer struggling with dreadful deterioration of dementia.

@Jacques

Love as always.

@Krishna @outlander

and other visitors to this thread.

Here is the music video to go with the words of the song "Why Worry". It is certainly a lovely, gentle piece of music. I still enjoy a lot of Dire Straits' music.

Either of the links will take you to the youtube presentation of the song in a new browser tab.
