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: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Thank you @Zoe7

I wrote a great long epic post for the worry room...

I have decided not to post it....I benefited in getting it out of my system...

do not feel any better...

my feeling my grief immensely...

for now I will leave it at that...

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

That looks like the perfect place to visit while you are feeling like this @Sophia1 - it is beautiful and looks so tranquil

I am around atm if you need to get anything else off you chest - happy to be here for you Hon

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Lovely place to visit @Sophia1

I like to have a tranquil place to visit too.

Sorry to hear that your appointment session didn't help you to feel better.

My psych appnt today was unusually positive & affirming - I really needed that.

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Good to hear that your appointment was positive and affirming...we need this every now and again to keep on going...

@Adge

I was not expecting to feel better as such yesterday...I was in a very low place...too much stuff happening externally out of my control....

having someone to listen helped...could not stretch it to say made me feel better...

this morning I am preparing for today and my hydrotherapy this afternoon...am proud that I am achieving this...

hello @Former-Member

I hope that you are feeling proud of yourself too Adge...lapses...you both have much to be proud of....

I find that it is so easy to forget to be proud of self....a pattern learnt over the years needing to be changed...

as I say to others ...

@Former-Member I hope that you are feeling a little more rested...can find a sunny spot ...notice nature around you...even if it only takes 5 minutes...

@Zoe7 I am glad that you have now taken up hydrotherapy also...hoping that you are feeling some benefit too...thanks for being there yesterday for me...the acknowledgement was all that I needed...I had no energy left to talk...

@Maggie I am hoping that your silence is time out for healing...or perhaps you are staying close to certain threads..another way of self nurturing....sending you warm thoughts also...

off to find a picture of where my mind will travel to today...

In response to: Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Sending love and hugs to you.

Things are much the same here. Have to fight through the emotions/feelings each day. Sometimes that’s possible, other times not.

Lots of stressful things happening.

I hope that the hydrotherapy is helpful for you today.

Take care. 🌺

Waiting for pic @Sophia1

I visited Canada years ago. Had a great time skiing in The Rockies.

An amazingly beautiful place.

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello @Former-Member

Understand about the day to day dealing with issues....you are doing so well...even if you might not feel that you are some of the time...

Talking about what you want only.... on these forums... in a safe place for you... is a form of holding you...

Thinking of you without wanting to constantly disturb you...

Wow skiing in the Rockies...what an experience for you...such wonderful memories to tap back into....do not feel guilty either....memories are a part of who we are and those precious ones that we can remember ...are good for us to visit at times ...my belief...

I just read this: The Canadian Rockies are composed of shale and limestone. Much of the range is protected by national and provincial parks, several of which collectively comprise a World Heritage Site.

Did you visit anywhere else in Canada?

We used to visit lake ontario..fresh water and part of the Great Lakes... as well as the estuary and gulf of st lawrence...eventually meeting atlantic ocean...salt water of course...

In response to: Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: I Re: Living with Ourselves

Oh, you’ve been to Canada also? @Sophia1

I briefly saw Vancouver. Stayed in Saskatchewan and Toronto.

Visited Niagara Falls. Amazing place.

The Rockies was my favourite.

Drove a long way from Saskatchewan to The Rockies, so we saw quite a bit of the country. Saskatchewan is so flat, then all of a sudden there are massive beautiful mountains.

@Sophia1 some days are like that and we just need to know we are not alone - glad I helped in even a small way
