Just joined. I have been here before but closed the account. Decided to come back to make it easy to read whatever posts interest me. Whether or not I respond I just don't know.
Using a very old name, "Dookie", a name my daughter gave me way back for reasons still unclear. I'm not Schizophrenic, but I definitely feel different as "Dookie". I feel happy as Dookie. Maybe say what I wouldn't say otherwise. What's in a name? I'm basically harmless. It's just that our world is a crazy place, and we have to love it while not conforming to its madness.
@Blondily I like logging into Google Images and putting various suggestions into the Search. Then seeing just what pops up. So many images, instantly. Just try it. (Putting "paintings" after your search word can give different results)
@lovelyguy143334 Not mine, just lifted from Google Images. Yes, it is nice.
Sometimes it seems an awful and superficial world and the noise of its voices can grate on my nerves and mental health. But we just have to try to stay strong and give back love. Sounds soppy, but you need a great strength to keep at it. And I think I'm on the winning side, despite all appearances to the contrary.
Welcome back... And maybe have you a new name so you could be a new person... Who knows

@Convivial It is rather strange. Dookie does seem to be some sort of alter ego. As said, my daughter long ago started calling me Dookie and always just laughed when I asked her why. But we have a deep and loving relationship, so I do not worry.
When I first got onto forums I joined a Buddhist one, on Tricycle, and many of the members had what to me were pretentious names, so I joined up as Dookie as a bit of a joke. At one point some guy in the US told me that "dookie" in his country was a small child's word for poo! But there you go - it never bothered Winnie the Pooh.
@SW-User ramble away... That's why most of us are here... Interesting story and maybe it is your alter ego given birth.. a licensed to Be who you want to be ...
