Let me be Me Community Group
A support group for those of us that need a safe place to share what ails us. Or what doesn't! This group is your group so you can be the person you really are, no need to pretend, no need to create some successful cyber image. Whether sharing our trials and tribulations, or our success's in life. Whether in sadness and needing comfort and support, or just...
I know it's hard to keep up sometimes.
But..have we drifted too far?

My life has been complicated lately. Pain been playing me hard. I seem to shut down, don't want to drag anyone with me.
Anxiety creeps in there too. It's a mix I don't sit well with.
On the bright side, I will give you guys a bit of an update on life in Shoes world.....
DD has moved to the big city to study, that was huge for me. She helped so much, I didn't know how I would cope without her. Also my anxiety about her being there was troublesome to ME, not her. Seems I've raised a confident, capable young woman, whilst being in this fog of CP! She is going really well and is happy.
Also, surprisingly, I'm doing ok. It's the first time in my DH and I 's lives that we have lived alone. I had my two boys from a previous marriage when we married. So it has actually been starting to get quite nice being on our own. No more anxiety about what time some one has to be some where or home etc.
we a slowly moving into a new kind of groove together again. DH is being more understanding of me, I think he realises how much my DD did for me and appreciates just how hard I do try. This has been a gift in a way, as I was going through a bit of an insecure stage......things are settling down and we are seemingly finding a new way of living together.
The weather is changing as you guys know! We are getting cold as you thaw out! The body doesn't like it one bit. So time now to prepare the mental and physical adjustments necessary to survive the colder months!
I don't feel lonely, which is good. I'm fine with my own company. The biggest frustrations still are trying to make arrangements then wake up and find I'm not having a good enough day to follow through. That would be my biggest let down daily. Wanting to do stuff and so looking forward to it, then A BIG NO on the unpredictable pain levels! Aaahhhh!,,,, I've become accepting of the true wonderful friends that remain and no long mourn those lost. Which has been a big issue for me to deal with. I'm a true friend, and I guess I get really surprised that my long terms friends dropped me.....I know I'm different than the old " shoes " , just proves they weren't as loyal as I am as a friend in the end. Thing is as we all get older, I think a few people will sadly become ill in some way, and I think then they may reflect upon what it must be like for people in their prime to not be free and mobile, live without pain. Life has a funny way of showing different paths to others.
I'm grateful I can still do as much as I can do. There are so many worse off than me. I contemplate their lives often if I start to feel sorry for myself!
You guys here have helped me on so many occasions. Not even if I've started a post, just being here. I will open my iPad, read something that will crack me up. Or read something that I empathise with, learn from, or just don't feel alone in my cp world. In real life I'm not one for crowds. I'm a small group kind of person. That's what I love about this place. It's personal to me. There is not one of you here, I don't genuinely care about. I haven't met you. Yet, I honestly care about you.
So Yes. This group is very real to me and my heart and soul. I'm sorry I'm not a " leader" and can't commit to an everyday post. But you all are in my thoughts each and every day. You all are warriors of this shitty chronic pain in some way, and I admire every one of you. I'm so so grateful, like I said before. Love L
Shoes..
You are so much a art of the glue that hilds things together here.
Luv ya

I'm still around...
Just quiet I guess,
Things are calm on the home front,
Missing seeing my middle daughter,
She's in wash state in grad school
Doing quite well from what I hear
My oldest is getting married in June
And the youngest she's still a undergrad
Looking forward to a bit less rain, perhaps Evan a spot of sunshine?
Been missin my bike rides
Peace n Hugs
Michael
Healing hugs,
Marci
Lisa you and I we speak for one another often. You said some of what I would say.
jc we are still here but we are missing limbs and some important parts. Often I think when I don't see a friend on DS that they may feel better and are busy with life. I know this family and I know it isn't the case.
Seek loves and hugs buddy. Life isn't playing fair. The land of Oz is getting cold on top of all the rest. You are not a stranger to our tornadoes with your cyclones.
Tendons I am with you on the pain scale with the storms. This last one did a number on my body and mind.
To think we are just starting the season.
Michael yes sunshine and bike rides. Hope you can pop in more.
Here is a thought...this is from my favorite baseball movie that I can't remember the title. This is the line.....
IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME
So we are not all leaders but if someone will start a thread about anything or everything it could get us going.
We just need a start. Bex has started a few.
love and peace to my favorite friends
Hippy, the quote was from Field of Dreams. :)
Love & HHHs
