<p>It’s not all been bad , but just seeing a guy in the gym , or a film , or a bodyguard lunging to protect a Royal , or a book , anything could set me off into their lives in my head instead of mine in mine </p>
<p>I never had elaborate avatar worlds with characters and names and evil witches unless I enjoyed a movie like L W and Wardrobe </p>
<p>mum glad you guys are here </p>
<p>I may have sought help had I been 40!years younger </p>
<p>but it’s still not recognised </p>
<p>And everyone of us must fight and fight and don’t stop telling health professionals until </p>
<p>they evaluate properly what Eli found and make it official </p>
<p>Absolutely everything starts that way ( look at the poor bastards at the start of the AIDS epidemic, that was what you call fighting)</p>
<p>I may not get to the promised land with ya </p>
<p>m it I’m glad you guys are around</p>
<p>im not angry at the 10 year old James , I just know he chose the wrong way </p>
<p>the 25 years old thing was as said ballpark for regular forum members, a stop look and listen suggestion that’s all</p>
<p> I mean it didn’t harm JK Rowling </p>
<p>tiring , gotta rest , hope we continue to watch over each other’</p>
<p>God bless </p>

<p>I can't imagine what it must be like to face this torture on top of actual brain damage (according to James' comment). You'd think either one would be bad enough to deal with on its own. I can only hope you find some measure of peace and clarity while you still have the chance to benefit from it.<br></br>From what little I know about dementia and my limited experience with people going through its earlier stages, I must guess that it could very well amount to drowning in one's own nightmares…</p>

I can only hope you find some measure of peace and clarity while you still have the chance to benefit from it.<br/>From what little I know about dementia and my limited experience with people going through its earlier stages, I must guess that it could very well amount to drowning in one's own nightmares before the end. I'm not sure I'd wish that on anyone.</p>

<p>@Elaine, I don't mean to sound like a grumpy boomer but be glad you weren't here before 2020. If this place feels like a ghost town to you now, you would have felt like the last human on Earth before Valeria took over. By the time Cordellia was forced to more or less abandon the site, there was practically no activity beyond the infestation of bots flooding every page.<br/>It was disheartening, to say the least. I'm sure a lot of discussions and stories were lost in the noise.</p> @jamesRelton I'm very touched…tag:wildminds.ning.com,2022-11-22:4661400:Comment:4260452022-11-22T19:30:30.673ZValeria Francohttps://wildminds.ning.com/profile/valeria_franco
<p>@jamesRelton I'm very touched by your last comment. Feeling that it's too late... I would like to shout "No, it's not! We're here, life is here, real, now, no matter what".</p>
<p>I would love to send you some good vibes and a sense of joy for life. I know it's personal, the way someone faces pain is personal and different for each of us. Still, I would like to try to send you a bit of warmth.</p>

<p>Hi Ladies </p>
<p>it’s calming to have you both around and on the case so to speak </p>
<p>I also love it when you respond to my posts , feels inclusive. I’ve optimised physically and acceptance wise</p>
<p>as much as possible but it’s still a black brain , at least I have a health care senior post which forces, literally holds down my head and forces me to engage with patients in our National Health Service. But it’s an act. After jogging weights shower and food I’m back to staring…</p>
<p>Hi Ladies </p>

<p>as much as possible but it’s still a black brain , at least I have a health care senior post which forces, literally holds down my head and forces me to engage with patients in our National Health Service. But it’s an act. After jogging weights shower and food I’m back to staring into space wishing I could be somewhere else. But I’m optomised sorry a physiotherapist term. Point is the kids on the forum aren’t interested in the tales of an old man from fax machine land. They’ve just found this new nightclub and that’s great if they are helping each other. MD WILL be fully recognised one day Once upon a time being queer , having schizophrenia being depressed didn’t exist too. It has to be fought for. My 25 year swing was just that , a gentle suggestion. It’s too late for me , that’s like the draft for war. Just bad timing And test results have shown tar proteins have destroyed nerve endings in my brain which will likely cause early onset dementia and gives horrific headaches. But I won three quarters of my fights. And it was all considered healthy team building fun n fitness and kept us out of trouble. That’s life as the song says I look forward to your responses. I think all I would ask is with the moderators keep a general overwatch on the kids getting too excitable as that may make sober definitions less likely in the great WHO book of psychiatric illnesses. My kindness regards to you both. JamesRelton </p> Dear @Elaine

<p>Dear @Elaine</p>
<p>thank you for your suggestion! Please tell me more about this guide.</p>
<p>I know sometimes posts don't receive answers, my bad too.</p>
<p>I would love to make Wildminds more interactive and a place where voices are heard. </p>

<p>my health scare health check as you know turned this Great White Shark that we can’t see till too late to implode , disappear, fold inwards , leaving flat blackness </p>
<p>it’s cost my marriage home and job , I was also a good teenager boxer for 4 years and are undergoing tests re concussion </p>
<p>I meant no disrespect to our younger members , it was a ballpark idea that I wish I’d applied the the arts , performing or literature </p>
<p>mum doing best I can </p>
<p>best wishes to all you guys </p>
