Hello Everybody 🙂

Being human we all miss something..This is not a negative/serious thread.Just a post for reflection. Whether 1, 2 , 3 or more please share 🙂

Its always healthy to have a little vent 🙂

I miss.....

Companionship/Holding Hands
Using my Tasmanian Blackwood dining table for a family lunch/dinner....its been over 10 years
Disco/12" Extended Vinyl Mixes and playing them
My Parents when they were happy together
My years when Depression/Anxiety didn't exist
My Childhood

Even if you have just one part of your life you miss...please feel free to share...whether its humorous or serious is fine 🙂

Kind thoughts

Paul

Great thread Paul

My grandparents owned a blackwood dining table. 10ft long. Xmas lunch was great as we filled the chairs. They lived in Tasmania

1. Miss the Scaletrix racing car set

2. My first dog "tubby"

3. Milking cows and carting hay in Tassy on holidays in the 1960' s.

Hey Tony WK. We must be brothers!....I really miss my Scaletrix track and the smell of the cars ...oh memories..First dog 'Tubby'...that is so cool. You were in Tassy in the '60's too?..Oh my...I was in Maydena when dad was involved on the hydro electric scheme...I am that tired of walking around this circa 1920 dining table and matching buffet I might flog it. Bless your kind heart Tony. Paul

dear Paul, it's these memories which we all so longed for and deeply miss.
For me:
- the love and devotion my wife and I had back in the early days
- my love for my 2 sons and the good times we had together, now includes my 2 little g/daughters
- being Captain of Victoria in rugby for the under 21's, known as the Colts
-the good times when my brother in laws and sister in laws had before 1 brother in law destroyed it all by not paying back a massive loan we gave him
- the time when my twin and I had great times
- having a good trade in my self employment
- the work that I could achieve
- the years when depression and anxiety didn't exist
- love of sport I was involved in playing
- my love for Tessie and Moo-Moo
- when I got my pc
- life before my head injury

and so life goes on. Geoff.

I miss ........

The feeling of being safe
The ability to sleep well
Being able to play active sports
Being pain free
Feeling happy

So much left in the wake as we move on...The older we get, the longer the list. Thanks Paul for providing this nostalgic but useful corner as it helps reconnect with important aspects of our lives. Here goes :

The tropics...5 consecutive days without a glimpse of sunshine (and worsening) don't help.

The deep connection I once shared with departed friends.

All the memorable dogs I connected with only to send them on their way to new homes.

The adrenaline rush of being the "monkey" on my cousin's racing sidecar.

My horses.

The smells and sounds of an Asian market.

and heaps more...tells my age !

I miss a lot, but I'll list the main ones.

My mum. She passed in 2007, and was my only support system

Although my childhood wasn't great, I miss not having to worry about how you'd pay the bills

Having friends. I just can't seem to keep them. They come and go like the weather changes, and it always hurts

Smiling. When I was a kid people would say that I was always smiling. I don't know where that happiness went. Now there isn't much to smile about, or at least I don't know where it went

I miss -

Abby, our blessed little angel puppy

my Nanna & my holidays with her

my middle daughter (she's decided I'm a toxic person)

a career I could have had if I had been free of depression

higher education (same reason as above)

motivation & energy (destroyed by depression)

I'm sure I could go on & on but it's a bit depressing lol !!!

Hey Starwolf and thankyou..Can I quote you? "The older we get, the longer the list" That is so very true. You have ridden sidecar??? You adrenaline junkie:-) Your spine stronger than mine....yes really! I hope your old dogs are in doggy heaven keeping mine company. 'Old Dogs Children & Watermelon Wine'...Tom T Hall. Nice1 Star. Paulx

Hi Music_Freak and thanks for responding. I know these are only words but I am sorry about your mum. It would have been like 10 minutes ago (2007) When I read your post I felt like I was reading my own. The absent smiles and friends disappearing too. We are both music freaks though.Here for you big time Musicfreak. You have a lot to offer and I really look forward seeing you again 🙂 Paul

It's funny you know, I've heard the "you have a lot to offer" from many people before...I've just got nothing to show for it. No friends, no job etc...doesn't help the demons in my head, that's for sure. I guess it's everyone else's loss or something.

My favourite bands keep me going some days. They are more than just bands to me, esp. lately.

I'll try and stick around, as long as the above demons stay quiet, or I can ignore them

Interesting post Paul.

Hmm, what I miss...

- Georgie the German Sheppard

- the lack of fear in doing extreme outdoor sports like skiing, now I know my body doesn't always bounce back!

- a body that bounces back and recovers from everything 🙂

- my confidence that i have in good times

- really good close friends that you can drop in on any time

- being in a relationship and feeling that i need not face life alone and being able to share so many moments

- living next to the beach (I grew up near the beach in Tassie)

🙂

Hi Paul,

1. I'm missing my friends, I just feel like I have no one to turn to. My girlfriends live a few hours away and I don't want to ring them with my problems

2. I'm missing the person I was before I got anxiety/depression.

3. I'm missing the fun I had in my marriage

4. I'm missing my old stag hound and Siamese cat.

🙁

Hi Molly, Thanks for replying. I hear you loud and clear...Missing our friends..the person I used to be prior to depression....Your old Stag hound and your Siamese cat would be hard...I miss my old 4 legged friends too.

I hope you have even one girlfriend that you can talk too 🙂 Paulx
