Hi Abbie!

Thanks for checking in! I'm so relieved to hear from you... wish you were doing better, but holding on is good. If you have not talked to your pdoc, even if you have an appointment soon, i would call and ask to speak to him directly - or have him call back. he may want to direct you to make a med adjustment right away.... as you had mentioned in earlier threads you were working on your meds to counteract your depression... sounds like one o those counteractions might have gone haywire.

Sorry we didn't get to read your story...

ack!!! darn internet! my usb port is a bit flakey so that occasionally knocks me off... but not often. i have also noticed that NT doesn't keep one logged in very long, while inactive (which includes while typing a post)... i have had my session expire while typing a message... and if one just logs in again as requested, it still won't let you submit, complaining that you have "logged in after" initiating the reply. ack!!!! this foils an old trick of mine when, after typing a long post, i pretty well expected my session to be expired: the trick was to open the forum in a separate browser/tab, log in, then go back to the browser/tab where my post was ready to go, and hit submit. It used to work... but no longer! hmmph!

i do copy and paste a lot. if i am prompted to log in when i hit submit, i go ahead and do so.... then, i use the back button to return to my typed-in reply (i do not get redirected back regardless if i hit the specific link to do so... i get a blank page). at that point, since i cannot submit due to the fresh login, i do a select/copy of the reply. then, i page back further to the thread itself and hit refresh so it refreshes my session id. (opening the thread in a new window works too). then hit reply again, and paste. the title and icon need to be set manually of course. sigh. irritating. functional but irritating.

of course typing up in notepad or another editor is even safer coz then you can save it locally... regardless if your whole internet connection has gone poof. arggh.

i do wonder why the session thing is the way it is. it used to work here. could be the vbulletin version??? but why? i dunno.

Well, Abbie, you hang in there and pop in and either paste a pre-typed post, or two words or whatever. Just the Thanks button works too, if you are not in shape to type, at least we know you're out there, lol... but personally, i was really glad to hear from you that you are holding on. darn shame your "story" got e-munched, but we'll live with that.

the reason i still would like for you to hear from your pdoc is that the longer these states persist, the worse off you are in the long run... they train your brain... you are more likely to end up in similar states in the future than if it gets nipped in the bud.

but i will shut up now. before my session expires... if it hasn't already!

You take care now, Abbie. And a big thanks again for the post!
