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

Toby is my dog @MDT - my little white fluffball buddy - he is the best company and very snuggly

Glad to hear that you have a little quiet time to yourself. There is not much else I can cut back on that will increase my funds - definitely watching where every cent is going these days and doesn't leave much (if any) extra for luxuries As long as I can pay my mortgage, bills, prescriptions and have the fur babies fed then I can get by on very little.

How is your job hunting going - anything interesting that you have found?

@Sophia1 I will try to find the thread to report issues and post there for NikNik or the moderators to pass on too.

@Zoe7 I love dogs. What sort of dog do you have?
We used to have a Cardigan Welsh Corgi. His name was Mickey. He was unique because he had a white line on his forehead that his brother didn't have. We got his as a little puppy and then he lived til he was 12. Sadly though in 2016 he got very ill and died. Was very hard. But we bought him to cure my phobia of dogs. Worked a charm haha.

Re work, found mainly full time analyst roles with different companies. Basically anything that asks for "analytical writing, communication, strong communication verbal and written" that sort of thing. Also found some journalism traineeships and also just a few part time gigs. So at this point got a list of 9 things. Also includes government stuff. A friend told me about recruitment companies that specialise in government roles too so will get onto that.

@Sophia1

Yea but it's usually when the two people are forced or have no other choice but to continue being around one another. Does that make sense?

I'm not one to speak my mind. And I'm not one for confrontations. I'm very conserved and very submissive. As I feel I'm not in any position to speak out against anyone. Because I don't want the confrontation. And I feel I'm more dependant on them, then they are, on me... So I suppose you could say... I feel I'd be jeopardizing my social needs and my position in the pack. Does that make sense?

And yes... It has been too my demise that I have done this..

Maybe it's my personality, maybe it's a lone wolf thing, maybe it's because of my Insecurities (which are explained earlier) who knows?
