Don't know if Sesame Street exists In Britain, but maybe you remember this

Not sure if you guys had/have Sesame Street in your countries, but this is what I grew up on. I posted this for someone else and maybe you will laugh, but this song, which is one I heard as a child, plays through my mind all the time now. It is funny for me that my childhood comes back to me during my times of anxiety and depression (I did have a wonderful childhood). I wonder if I have realized that I am really grown up now and cannot accept it. Do you ever feel that way? Hope you enjoy

Hi. We did have Sesame Street, but I've not seen anything of it for years now. It's great that you have happy memories to hang on to when you are low. I too resist adulthood - I'm loving having a grandson who is just starting to play games and interact. I'm planning lots of trips to the seaside and messy games!

:yesyes:Yes we had it here Mya......Oscar the Grouche in the dustbin, Big Bird:) thanks for reminding me. I keep getting pulled back to my childhood because it was traumatic and therefore keeps me 'stuck' at times. I am so pleased that yours was good and that you can draw on that for comfort.:bighug1:

Thanks Maddie - I am happy to hear you can relive your youth with your grandson! He is a lucky guy to have you. We are all children at heart.

Veronica H- I am so sorry to hear your childhood was traumatic. I am very lucky to have had a safe and protected childhood, however, I think that may be part of the reasons I am always in fear now. I think my parents did too much to protect me and the real world has become too overwhelming, although it is overwhelming for many people, even without the "safe" childhood I had. I hope you are able to find the positives in your life now.

This song is one that keeps playing in my mind because I have ALWAYS felt like the "kid that was not like the others" Still do, but the adult that doesn't belong! I think many people have those thoughts though. We need to find people that accept us for our uniqueness. I would think and at least I hope people would accept me for who I am instead of the woman who tries to be what everyone wants. I can no longer put on the "front" and I think that is what contributed to my anxiety issues.

Thanks for listening and wishing you the best
