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

Hello @TAB

I brought the conversation over here.

I read your words about the need to just breathe.

Too much on your plate gets overwhelming.

I hope that you are starting to find a breathing pattern allowing you to feel more comfortable.

I enjoy reading your banter with others on friday feast at times and also I recently found tabalugas.

Only has 43,000 odd replies.

A tad late for the party.

Head finally arrived there.

Life can be an oxymoron.

Keep on surviving as you are.

You have friends on the forum Tab who value your friendship

Take care

Hello @TAB

Thank you for reply and kind words of hope.

Things have improved yet slipped back in other ways.

I thankfully received results back from PCR Test which were negative for both Covid and respiratory flu.

I had different strategies in place to distract which I am sure you already know are hard to put in place in the first place, let alone when physically unwell etc etc.

I was surprised what a great sense of relief and the feeling of heaviness; draining was lifted.

I feel so much for everyone who has gone through Covid.

I am sure that they can relate with that waiting for the unknown scenario.

Isolation has reared it's insidious head again and it is literally doing my head in which is already not in it's best condition.

Post concussion has improved considerably with some lingering flare ups usually triggered by others.

Sadly when you have long term mental health issues without going into various labels; situations; an acquired brain injury does not separate the differences.

Am on continued review. My acquired brain injury is mild thankfully and I am grateful for ongoing reviews. The concussion specialists even though there was a 3 month wait list have been absolutely great.

So when and if I ever discover; invent; create a solution for isolation I shall write about it on the forums as I know only too well that I am not alone.

Re: Living with Ourselves

oh ha ha ha @TAB

Your humour is so very welcome as always.

You have made my day.

Bless you dear Tab.

Leaving my ivory? tower I love that concept and am going to use that as; dare I say yet another strategy to get out of the blasted tower.

Perhaps when I cut my waist length hair when in my early 30's I lost the capability. Blame it on my hair instead of my mind. Change the thinking.

I might use that as imagery.

I like that.

You have given me an idea, actually.

Bravo Tab

Sophia 💛

A heart filled with sunshine for you.

Thank you
