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

hello @eudemonism

are you there?

I am concerned about the words that you wrote....

I am not sure of their meaning to you and am worried...

could you please just pass by and leave even one of the very few options of smiley creatures...

I will check here..

I am so concerned that I am going to ask a moderator to check in with you if I do not hear back...

please don't be annoyed with me or alarmed if you receive contact from a moderator...

the reason is because you mean a lot to me and many others on here who have come to know the Eude who is creative and has a dry sense of humour...

I just hope that my state of mind at present has not affected yours....

Re: Living with Ourselves

hello @Mazarita @Bunniekins @eth @Appleblossom @outlander @CheerBear

and anyone else who might have mentioned be on the rave.,..

thank you...even though it is a drop box reaction...it stilll feels nice..

I am still feeling very sensitive and emotional...

I am apparently still in acute recovery with another complication in the mix...have been told I am expecting far too much from myself.....what a surprise!! ingrained...

I am wrapping myself in cotton wool today...

I am not able to stay on other threads...cannot keep up with the traffic and references to previous conversations etc...

so am over here...no offence to anyone..

does feel as though I am isolating to a certain degree...I just have to do it this way for a while until physical health stage moves into rehabilitation...

it is what it is..

eth please give me a quick wave before you leave if you remember...

cheers all

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1, totally understand your need to be gentle with yourself, even in how you engage with the forum just now. Will keep posting in here to say hi, and tagging when I think of it, just so you know I am thinking of you. Cotton wool sounds like a good plan for an acute recovery day. May it be kind and nurturing to you.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Good morning @Sophia1 I totally understand about staying on your own thread for a while. I am only really on 2 myself. We need to have boundaries for our own well-being sometimes, even here on the forums. Hoping you have a gentle day and thinking of you.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Absolutely no need to apologise @Sophia1 self care and preservation is important.
I get the self expecations. We are our own worst enemies sometimes
Please try and be gentle with yourself as hard as that it to do. Your worth being loved and cared for including from yourself
Big but gentle hugsm cotton wool sounds like a good idea till you recover more.
Love and some.more hugs 💙💛💕💜❤💚
