The flower picture

Hi,

Does anyone else have bad feelings about that picture here? When i joined there was a really soothing picture of something and that was one of the reasons I joined here. But now i guess you change the pictures. This one bothers me. My therapist tells me.. i forgot what he said But i tell him I don't like certain words and basically i guess i have to deal with it. The picture feels "crazy" to me. For me it isn't soothing.

Sorry you find it difficult Godstear - perhaps as you feel more at home here, the picture will feel less crazy for you - perhaps how you feel about it reflects how you are feeling right now? xx

No, I dont usually feel "crazy." Ugh : ( Just certain pictures and words. And when i dont see them i don't feel that way. But each time i log on i see that flower then I don't want to come here. Isn't your reply Freudian thinking ? ugh. When does the next scene come on? Each time i saw the other flower i felt great, felt homey, felt soft, felt neat, etc.

We all feel differently about certain images - and i hear you don't like this one! It means something to you that doesn't feel good. I am glad you still come here though!

We and others liked it alot so we put it there! - as i say we all feel differently.

Are you going to leave the flower there forever or change it periodically to a new one? Maybe its possibly to send me the other one and i could use it as a background?

I can understand what you mean, GodsTear. The sunflowers are a bit strange and fuzzy and disconnected. Not soothing...like you said. Although, they don't 'bother' me, I get what you're saying.

Now that I pay attention to it, it feels to me like the middle of the flowers are eyes who are staring at me.
A bit disturbing really.

The power of the human mind!! xx

Perhaps you could use photobucket or google yourself a nice picture of your choice to use as a background.

I wrote something before but didnt log in and lost. it. when i first came here and saw that beautiful picture of that big flower i just felt so very great.everything felt right and good. now it doesnt when i see those flowers. it sounds probably stupid for you. i like the teddy bear and the balloons. and writing my thoughts and maybe helping others with some words. if it was me and i had the power to change it i would. i notice some ppl here have morbid art work. the flowers look like that to me.

nothing is every truly good for long i guess. the initial good feelings was a facade or something. for a short time i felt good. this place is just for crazy ppl is how i feel now. before it felt like a healing place.

i was about to leave and then i saw what others wrote. I like the supportive atmosphere here. thanks. sorry what i said about crazy ppl. it does feel like eyes staring, doesnt it? yeah, disturbing is the word. i dont feel happy when i see it whereas the other flower made me smile each time.

oh well.

The new flowers.

I really like them. I liked the old ones, too, but given my current state of mind, these really cheered me up.

coolio

I love the new picture too! Thank you Animus. xx

I love the new flowers!!!...

I loved the first one we had when the forum opened...

..... but I hated the second ones!!!.....

... I just didn't want to add to the strange feelings for others by making a comment... so I didn't say anything...

.... But now that they are gone... I will say that the little bee looked to "ME"... like a camera watching my every move... like the ones in big stores do!!!...

Thank you Animus for putting these pretty ones instead...

I think the new picture is lovely. Thanks Animus. It gives me a happy, calm feeling....like a peaceful Spring day with no worries.

Nice daisies............ good pick

Sunflowers have a terrible meaning behind them.

Thank you

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I came by last night but had to leave quickly because the old picture was up. I felt sad and wrote to my therapist about the first flower and how great i felt when i saw it. I know this is a minor issue compared to everything else! But at least now this new picture has a warm feeling to it. Of course i still like the sunflower picture..i forgot what it was. Can someone send it to me if its possible?

Well, now I can come back because i liked coming here....and "my" bear and the balloon.

: )

Like the openness and the butterfly!
have liked all the pics we have had good choices!

I adore sunflowers too, and I thought I had saved it on my computer, but I have thousands of pictures and can't find it yet... I must have put it in the wrong folder...
I found this one for now...




If you like it, just right click on it and then click on "save as"... and save it in your pictures folders... or make a new folder so you can organize them when you get more... I'm sure once you get started... you will be like me... collecting stuff all over the net...

I will still look for the other for you... but if you Google the word sunflower and click on images... or add the word images to sunflower, it will come up with more pictures than you will ever need...

When you find something you like, click on the picture and it will take you to another page where you can either click to view the picture or go to the web site... Once there you can right click on the picture and save it to your computer..
Hope you find lots of them...

I can't pass up pictures and smileys... ... my folders are getting really big!...

That's beautiful, Misty... the words, as well as the picture...
