Re: Living with Ourselves
I am not really sure to be perfectly honest @MDT
Thank you for asking though...very lovely...
I think that when it all gets too much...we need to step back somehow...accept that is where we are...allow the tears...yes they are flowing...better out than in...
Life can be so overwhelming at times..
When I went for a walk earlier...I received a wave and hello from a man whom I did not know...I said hello back...
I was looking through the local antique..gift...garden places and noticed him standing in a doorway of one of the antique shops talking to the owner...I overheard the conversation and thought to myself this man is lonely..
Later when walking home I met him again on the other side of the road...He started a conversation again and crossed over..He asked me if I lived locally and I said yes...He told me that he had moved from another state where the people had changed and were not as friendly...they did not return his hellos...I replied that that was not very sociable at all..
He then told me that he does volunteer work with the homeless...walks up and down saying hello and waving and people here are friendly..
I thought how lovely...
He walked me to my door...shook my hand and told me that it was lovely to meet me..
I know that some would say I might have put myself in danger...
I trusted my tuition and felt for him...
I could be wrong...I have made poor judgements of people in the past...
However I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt..
What do you think? Was I being silly?
I just felt that I struggle so much to get out...here was a person who was trying to be friendly with people...isn't that life?

Re: Living with Ourselves
I totaly enjoyed doing that, & reading others experience, If you have any more like that, please include me again. It really made me think, & I need some distractions in my mind, at the moment!
Love & Hugs!

Re: Living with Ourselves
I empathise with you @Sophia1 I am struggling with my body pain, & the stiff back, neck, & knees, & left hand, at the moment, too. Unless one goes though this, it really is hard for others to understand. Believe me when I say to you, I understand!
Some how we will get through this, I believe that!
Love & Hugs!

Re: Living with Ourselves
Yes you are right...
@Former-Member
my back is worse after going for a walk...I could feel it when I was walking..
It makes me so upset because walking has been my lifeline for most of my life...
So I must not give up...
there are others on here with long term chronic pain also...
Your injuries make mine pale in comparison..yet you show empathy towards me ....
I get so tired of having to justify why I cannot do something..
people see me and assume that I am fine...
some family members are actually put out that I do not fit in with their needs...
Yes we will get though this...we will not stop believing that...💜

Re: Living with Ourselves
I loved walking, I walked long distance daily for years, My fitness level was high. I loved to lift light weights, I had a Membership at the Local Gym. I danced & was happy, even though I had lost so much material possessions, & family in my life. Then just like a Bomb I lost the ability to be mobile, & free to live my life Chronic painless, & all of my friends, because I could no longer fit in with them.
Then Spinal surgery without proper human love, & support. I am standing now, No More Loss!
You & I Will get back our health, I am standing with you Sophia, 2 can stand STRONG!
Amen!
