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

@Sophia1 oh well... I've been limping around all night because of old work place injuries on both feet... And on top of that I'm not waking up under the influence of pharmaceutical prescription drugs... And I'm thinking I more or less been screwed bye the system and the professionals... And I'm thinking everybody in my life is also more or less screwing me over... So forgive me for being a bit pessimistic... Lol...

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @eudemonism

Thank you so much for response...my mind is more at ease now..

I don't like reading that you are having more trouble with your feet though..

you mentioned in a previous post that pain in your feet was stopping you from walking...this is not a reasonable state of physical health..

this is now impacting on your mental health.. Your old patterned thinking is back..

we seem to be on the same page I think the expression is..

I am currently unable to walk due to physical state..

yes is impacting my mental health too...as you read in my previous posts..

what do we do?

See our doctor..for physical

I rang helpline yesterday...someone to listen without judging...help me stay on positive track..for mental

appointment tomorrow with psychiatrist..

remember I believe in you..💚

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 I could very easily go for a walk around the block right now. But I'm easily turned off of the idea. Bye a few repeating thoughts. And then it don't seem worth it. So I resort to other things.

I resort to thinking about catching up with friends. Or doing something around the house. Laying down. Watching TV. Snacking. Having a smoke. Checking my phone.

It's cold. It's gloomy. It's near the winter solstice. My feet are sore. I could be seen and judged bye someone. I could bump into another dog. Mister might misbehave.

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 I love your posts: I see them as thoughtful, kind, realistic, and warm.

@eudemonism I was worried at that post, but am also learning that some people embrace their pessimism and its no use arguing with it .. as sometimes it is a sound response .. but sometimes it is a limiting response ..

Know at least that we do care. Cant do anything practical.

I could go on more walks, but dont have the motivation atm ... so cant judge. ... but hey Mister might really appreciate it ... I walk my cat sometimes ... hee hee ... so my walks are pretty short ... hee hee.

Re: Living with Ourselves

thank you community guides for checking in on me...

thank you also @Bunniekins for morning hello..

@outlander @eudemonism @Zoe7 @Adge @Former-Member visited in some way..

apologies cannot deal with checking who is doing what...

there are two threads that I have followed and supported since early days starting here...I will continue to do that as these threads represent why I first landed on these forums...

I know that I am taking time out...am doing this by keeping in the background most of the time...some days not even coming here...

all the best to all who pass by or who have done or will in the future...
