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

good morning @Jacques @outlander @Former-Member @Adge @cloudcore

Just passing by briefly leaving a carefully wrapped hello for all so as not to disturb your spaces...

My anxiety is high again and my husband cannot cope with it tells me off for speaking to him that way..

I try to explain that is anxiety and that I have explained before..

I am not aware.

His health is not good..He is underplaying it as a way of coping.

My anxiety around it is provoking him..

He forgets that I also have anxiety around my older son....my sister and mum...my own issues....his family as well!

So we are avoiding one another which does not help anxiety.....

anxiety provoking in my book.

I ring helplines and talk it out with them..

sorry to offload

I have noticed that I tend to support others not myself...

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello dear @Sophia1,

I see you, I hear you.

I'm sorry your anxiety is high and it causes conflict. I have similar issues. My bf gets cross with me at times because of my behaviour from the anxiety 😔

I cry a lot of silent tears. I think you might too?

I'm here for you @Sophia1 💛
