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

@maddison Hello maddison.. hope this finds you well. My train went right passed you're window last night... Reminded me of when i used to ride the old rattler all the way from the eastern subs into the city and back again none stop just to chill out and pass time. Millions of people just living out there lives. How are you going with that colouring book, You do know it has magical powers don't you....... Hopping you will sneak me a look inside one day..we can share some magic together.... Hope the legal matters are swaying you're way and you get the supports you deserve. If you have pulled the hatch on your submarine and bottomed the boat, ...do listen out for whale and dolphin sounds on the hull. They sometimes carry kites for me.... Take care my very dear friend.. and enjoy your time out... crannies and nooks in colouring books..... tonys moon base one ...... breathe

@tonys @Appleblossom @Emelia8

Thank you all so much

I will write to each of you when feeling safer.

I have also responded to an email I received.

@TABI found your picture also.

To all of you, your writing to me means so much.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Very relieved to hear back from you @Sophia1

Honestly I am not good at talking about feelings, that does not mean I do not have them.

Hope you get better support and work through the situations that were troubling. I have had some whoppers from supposed carers. You do deserve respect and care. Sometimes anger and rage are a part of grief and life. I have tried hard to channel any anger productively but then I get another broadside from some person who does not seem to have those ethics, and it seems I am back in a dog eat dog world.

Meeting you was so good for me not to sink into despair about the cynicism in the world.

and @tonys well he is a rough but all the more beautiful gem. I just love that your whacky mind and humour with imagination, wit and little resent. Keep being YOU both of you, different though you are.
