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

Thanks @Sophia1 was a new one on me getting depressed while out. Guess not been to those shops in years , parking and traffic silly, nothing in shops., couldn't find way around, raining etc lol .
no reason to go back there in a hurry. Easier to drive 20ks down road to bigger mall, lots easier to find way around plus more there

hello @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @Clawde @Emelia8 @TAB @Appleblossom @BlueBay @Jacques (has been a while..miss our chats)

@Adge(even longer since I have connected with you. Do hope that you are managing.)

@outlander( a long time talking with you.. hope that you are managing and being kind to yourself also) @Snowie @Eve7 @HenryX @RedHorse @MDT @Meowmy @Bow @StuF @Dimity @Anastasia

so many others

cannot think

depression is rearing it's insidious power and I feel that my withholding is weakening.

I will be back.

Going away for a week isolating elsewhere, isolating somewhere different from isolating at home has to be a start doesn't it?

I will get through this as I have observed so many of you who are so, so strong.

Thank you for being in my life at varying stages; in different ways; albeit just hitting a support button.

Means so much

Re: Living with Ourselves

Ooooh @Sophia1 your posts are not too long. They are beautiful, warm, spirit filled. I love your rich quirky imagination.

We have those down times, those dark nights of the soul, and wearily, yes, keep placing one foot in front of the other.

and the tides ebb and flow

It was lovely to hear about your meal with your son. Glad he appreciated it. My son appreciates my cooking. Yes, we adapt to their preferences a little, I am not keen on television always on. In my house it is NEVER on ..lol. It is their separateness that is truly wonderful. They come from us and grow into unique beings. My son has taught me things and I have changed a little, become a more broad thinker, because of him.

Hearing you about the lost one. My lost one is always in my heart, but we can walk with dignity.

Enjoy your quiet time away. Not sure what birds will visit, but birds have made my life richer.
