Re: Living with Ourselves

Re: Living with Ourselves

@Sophia1 moments like these are when a medicinal herb garden come in handy. The marshmallow weed, the stinging nettle, the milk thistle, the rocket weed, the parsley plant, the nasturtium vine. All these have medicinal properties that could help. I know when I'm unwell a handful of parsley or parsley root tea make me feel better. Or a nasturtium leaf. I'm probably not allowed to suggest stuff like this. But I been doing it for along time with no adverse side effects. Good conversation anyway. I hope you're feeling better soon. Eude.

@Sophia1 Sorry you are under the weather and feel invisible.

I dont know the magic way to feel balance or when expressing is enough.

Maybe there are less people on the forum than you think and everyone is stretched.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hello all

@eudemonism @outlander @Owlunar @MDT@Adge@Bunniekins

 

Can't get to sleep so thought I would check out here....

@Bunniekins

 

It is a funny night here tonight...large moth flying around...

we heard strange noises about half an hour ago...husband said that is a cow...

he went outside with torch...whilst brave cats stayed inside with mum..

the cow was loud and sounded as though on our property...

she must have been on the fenceline....calving....

apparently  farmers know when to check on them...or so husband told me...

I would have been out there if I had been feeling better...

 

Have any of you had a more interesting or eventful day...evening?

I hope you get some sleep soon. Ill prob only be asleep for an hr then back up again lol.

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi @Sophia1

 

I tried to post earlier - my computer was troublesome and I gave it away - I'm sorry about that - it was one of those annoying things

 

So somewhere I have a shortened form of a post I might find later but I wanted to write something esle

 

Everyone needs to be loved and cared for, listened to, acknowledged, honoured, respested, believed, sometimes sanctioned, to have the chance to join in and be part of a community -

 

It's natural and part of the human condition

 

I guess if you feel invisible then some of these needs are not being met - ah yes - people use a word I hate - "needy" - and I guess a person would be "needy" if they feel ignored and as if they don't count

 

But as uncomfortable as you must feel - anyone would - and you feelings are valid but they might not be sound

 

I remember though - when my children were pre-school - I woke up one morning feeling totally disasatified with my life - I loved my children but it was not enough - I was giving up my life so that three other people - my kids and my then-h - could live theirs and satisfying my parents desire that I be a "good daughter" and I really couldn't be that anymore.

 

I solved this by starting to study formally and continued as you know - people find other ways but this was how I did it. I don't feel bad at all about this - I think my kids had a better mother because I had a life of my own - 

 

But I hear you - and you are right to feel as you do when you are unhappy about they way other people treat you

 

 

I am off to bed now and my computer has settled but it's getting late

 

I hope you are okay tonights

Re: Living with Ourselves

Hi again @Sophia1

 

I'm sorry you can't sleep - I read a lot at night and it certainly passes the time but that isn't easy in a family situation

 

Having the sound of a cow calving near your place is unusual but the farmer would have to know about his stock - at least I hope so - I hope you can get some peace - 

 

You know warm milk can help of course - I like to add a little vanilla - I enjoy the taste of vanilla

 

Catch up tomorrow and I hope you can get some sleep - I know you have been ill with a virusHeart
