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

Thanks @Sophia1

I hope you're going ok through Christmas.
Wishing you health and happiness etc in the new year.
Christmas is triggering for me. No family contact. Ugh! For the best though.
Not doing much today. Had Christmas lunch yesterday.
Very quiet day today. Feels like I'm the only one alive today, it's that quiet. Haha!

Love and hugs to you. 🤗💖

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sopia1 I'm glad you chose this path. Your journey is about you, and we need to focus on the here and now, not the past, which is most of the time easier said than done! But you're doing really well to turn over a new leaf, as it were! Good on you.

Hello dearest @Bunniekins

I am so very sorry to read of your further struggles..

Your own health and the great love and support you give your son is so beautiful yet at the same time I understand so very painful..

I wish that I could just hug you and we could cry together..

I am again and have been for some months very concerned for my older son from the way he is talking...

I also am hearing about his strange behaviour towards others going to the house where he is currently staying temporarily..

He needs help and to be in a safe place...He is totally out of touch with life when he rings me..

My son has not been vaccinated...he will not discuss the subject..I only broached the subject once when he was homeless in that covid circle of steel...He was so very angry and talked about chemical warfare and being at war.

It is so similar really..

I am frightened for my mum who is in a nursing home and they are nearly all being affected by this dreadful pandemic.

I am frightened myself to go to shopping centres which I hate and only go to as last resort.

I cant read all of the threads especially the busy ones and those with long replies.

I just feel so lost and disoriented.

I should not be saying all of this to you as you have your own issues.

@Anastasia

thank you

I am not ignoring you

just feeling hopeless and useless.

why is it as mums even daughters we allow ourselves to feel like this..

I can't stop it when I am not in a good way

I had a long chat with lifeline before....He was very patient and listened so well. I told him that was all that I wanted..Someone to hear me..

Then I came on here to look briefly and now am lost.

I think that I will ring lifeline agian.

I cannot sleep

I hope that you all sleep.

so sorry

Re: Living with Ourselves

Sweetheart @Sophia1 I know you're not ignoring me, please look after YOU 🙏

I'm so sorry you're struggling and your son is where he is at.

Please believe I have no expectations from you, I just wanted to wave so you know I'm always thinking if you.

I hope Lifeline provide you with another listening ear. Two family members are volunteers there, I hope you have one of them or at least a lovely one that is a good listener tonight and can help.

Love always dear Sophia ❤️
