I have to say I wish I could dissect something the way you do Waves.

I would then be able to help my son's understand their dad.

Waves,



I wonder how you know so much about so many drugs? You always seem to know what is a low dose and what may be a bit high. Well, maybe I don't want to know, right

I've only been in real trouble once lately and that was when I first came to this support group. But I continue to read because I learn so much...and I want to try to stay connected in case I get in trouble again in the near future. But I've read so many threads...long threads...back and forth between many of ya'll "Elders" (in wisdom only ). And I am amazed at how ya'll can help people work through problems. This forum is better than months and months of counseling because people like you care enough to answer posts.

Thanks for all the kind things you've said and the useful information you have given me. I know what horrible depression is, and I pray that your's will soon end.

Your friend,

CurlyDawg

You, hit it right on the nose!!

Those are the exact sentiments , I have for this room. I know that i've
looked in many other places for the same feelings I get here.

But its just not there. I don't have that many true friends in real life.
That I can say are friends. Most are just acquantances.

Just like this morning, the General Ed. Teacher in the meeting i was in.
Knew she knew me, and I had a idea why. But wouldn't say why.
She finally asked me my son's name.

It wasn't Derrick, she knew it was my oldest danny. I think he was in the
first class she ever taught.

And it was her only year in our system.

ehehee

Dear Bizi

thanks for the hugs and (((hugs))) back!


Dear Donna

that's funny about the dissection... hmmm. it is something i have always done to a degree... but not thought of in that way...

reminded me of a bio lab ... the subject for dissection was not rhetoric or psychology but a frog... poor little froggie!!! first they made us fish them out from the pond ... i did not enjoy that lab much. while the specifics of frog anatomy might fascinate aspiring amphibiologists, i am more fascinated by their lovely (and lively) leaping and hopping and swimming... and skeeter-eatin'!

and, i mean, just think of KERMIEEE!!! WE HAD TO CUT UP KERMIEEE!!!! po' po' lil' kermie.... can you just see him scrunching up his lil face?

But, i digress...

Hi CurlyDawg!

welcome back!
and thank you so much for your post!!!
loved that pic!!! ... powerful! thank you.hehe... my first psychiatrist was a real guru and loved to share... he got me started, curiosity did the rest... i got so interested in a spectific type of interactions at one point, that i considered going to med school to study hepatology... yes, it was a phase, yes, i am over it. and no, there's no way i could handle the stress of med school - then or now.

absolutely stay connected! many folks post more or less as their work or life responsibilities allow.
Yes, it is wonderful to have a responsive and caring community such as this one is.

Glad i could help... sorry you "know" depression and... THANK YOU.

(((HUGS)))

waves I hope things get better for you soon, I know you've had some hard times going on emotionally and I wish I could offer more then a cyber hug to you, but alas that's all I can.

I think the world of you! You're smart, witty, and a very loving young woman. I really admire you and wanted to post and say so. I am so glad for this forum, the old home we all used to have is just not the same anymore and hasn't been since the problems that led Doc John to create Neurotalk for us. I am so glad we've all got this place to come to. He's a special man to keep it open for us like he has. And he's got a lot of special people here, like you, and so many others who make it WORTH coming to. I just know something good is right around the corner for you, so hang in there!

Hey there Pammie!

thank you so much for posting and cyberhugs sound great to you too

thank you for all your kind words also. yes things just changed at our old home... in fact things have kept reshuffling, you never know where it's going to be next, i feel sad about it.

i too appreciate DocJohn for providing us our little niche here in psychcentral.

i appreciate your having hope for me. i don't know what to hope for. i won't say i am hopeless. just sort of wondering, wandering, meandering... but mostly in my head. i tried to get out of my head.... when this started i had a lot of agitation with it, so tried dancing at home when i could get the privacy. but that didn't last long (2ce exactly). the energy went *POOF* and any dance verve went with it.

many have made suggestions which involve going out/outside, but for now i feel worse, not better, when i do that. it is hard just keeping my pdoc appointments.

well i have rambled enough (surprise!) - now you know, if only i could "ramble" something i could selll... but noooooo, i don't have any "ideas" when it comes to that... not-a-one. sigh.

Again thank you for looking in on me. i've missed you being around.

(((big hugs)))

bizi, this is a wonderful and genuine thread, and, tho not nearly as eloquent as some of you, I just HAD to take the time to chime in here also!!

waves - you are one of the people here that I remember being so helpful and supportive from the first day that I showed up here, and I thank you so much for that. As a person who is not bipolar, I really appreciated your support, insights, and the way you helped me understand this condition better. I don't know you nearly as well as many of the other folks who contribute here, but you have always been a ray of sunshine, even on the darkest of days.

I am having real trouble here putting my thoughts into words, but just know that you are a wonderful, caring person. This place wouldn't be the same without you!

I hope you are having a good day!

Hugs, Jacquie
