Living with Ourselves

Oh @Adge

Well that is more than enough of a substantial reason to be accepted.

Different person, different time assessing.

Their is and possibly never has been any rhyme or reason to how and why they assess.

I say grab it with both hands! Do not question anything! Even if you come across as a nodding clown which I mean with humour. I know that you get my humour so phew quite safe there.

We know that there is so much more that you have endured.

Whatever as my son would say.

You have it and all the best.

Yes there is another stage! What a surprise.

They have to justify their title and salary.

Yes minister all over.

I can understand that it leaves you with a surreal feeling! 4 years!

Exhausting draining and everything else.

Your new life is starting.

Rest up and store that vital energy for the big meeting.

It is finally happening.

Keep on sharing if you so wish when you have the energy understandably.

I am very happy for you

Do not fret about who and who you did not invite to your thread.

I just mentioned it as in your opening post at that time I did not feel included

@Sophia1

I think I was barely feeling the right to be alive at the time and so posted artwork to help fill my being with good images. I was honouring my sensitive side. I had put a lot of energy out into the forums in helping mode. I didn’t want to complain. I had just found some of the art sites and was feeling nurtured by exploring them and sharing. I guess it has taken me a while to understand myself in regards to structural dissociation and the helper and fragile parts. I don’t think I could even verbalise it back then… 8 ish years ago. My sensitive side had so much grief and woundedness and trauma it rendered me non verbal. The art was soothing. Because of all my study I had access to a lot of words, but sometimes words are inadequate.

@Sophia1 I think I resonated strongly with you, way back, in sharing a painting of a baby, not cute, but open and vulnerable. Celebrating motherhood somehow.

Often we don’t know everything that a person has survived or is carrying…

@Adge I am glad you will get access to NDIS. I hope it works well for you. It can be tough to navigate.

Thanks @Sophia1

Thanks @Appleblossom Yes NDIS is hard to navigate, I agree.

Totally Bamboozling, in my words....

Hi @Sophia1 I love your Smiling Nodding Clown idea (euphemism).

As long as it's not one of those nasty scary Clowns from recent horror movies....

Yep, I'm practicing my nodding.

As in the movie Madagascar - "Just Smile & Wave Boys, Smile & Wave".

Adge

ah there is that lovely humour @Adge

No horror films in my world full stop

clowns are mostly frightening

beyond me why they have them at children's parties and events!

We are all different though aren't we

My humour comes out of the blue these days.

It is my saving grace.

Oh yes smile and wave to the masses

Hello

@Oaktree

I am totally lost on the forums now

I reply occasionally when I receive notice that someone has tagged me

I do not know where you replied to me now or how to get back there

I found living with ourselves when I logged in and went back through notifications

Which section is it in these days and how do I go straight there?

Is there a directory somewhere that sets out all of the different sections?

Help?

I will respond to you when I find your message

Thank you

Sophia
