how did you misbehave or you can private message me. Another often found trait in a bipolar is self criticism beyond the norm and feelings of failure.

Well, frankly, I got over-enthusiastic about offering someone my opinion as to what the person could do to make their lives better. The mods told me that they did not like this by not allowing my post. I did not get it. So they did change my settings so I would be notified in a way I could not miss about them not allowing and why. I got upset at first then saw their point. They were really sweet about it. That is the answer to your question.

Take this pic: Most of the prophets as told about wandered in the desert a lot. Stupid me, I picture them as follows: a person that probably lived on mushrooms or other unsuitable stuff, with a very filthy loincloth, matted and incredibly dirty hair. I am such a cynic.

This was not a nice answer, and you are so nice to me. I apologize.

I can see why. Would have a hard time choosing between the two pics if I could have only one on my wall.

Oddest thing happened to me last night. I am very responsible and independent. I have a young German Shepherd female (3 years old) and I walk her 4 times a day no matter what. So I had two glasses of wine and walked the dog (42 kilo's of muscle and bone, never had a problem) and somehow the dog made me to fall just after a lady walked by with two grey dogs. I am not clear what happened, who happened, but I could not get up because I needed my left hand to get up and it hurted too much. So some lady around fifty years asked me what was my problem and I told her this. She took my right hand and pulled me up by it. I said thanks, now I can get home. She said nothing all the time, just looked resolute.

It feels symbolic, I don't know. Normally I would be scared and apprehensive after a thing like this but I am at this point happy and awaiting enlightenment. Even though my left hand still hurts a lot.

Funny thing. Asking the question brought the answer, it seems. I need to focus on who I am now and what I CAN do, rather than wanting to be who I used to be and what I lost. The left hand is traditionally the BAD hand, and incidentally my N mother is left-handed, was whacked on the left hand a lot for it. Thinking about how to put this insight to practical use.

There you are...
 
I was wondering what happened to you,and concerned. I saw that sad sign. I was wondering If I said something wrong. I appreciate you trying to help me on that post. BF

Hi, Minymo,

'Sorry about hurting your hand in the fall.
You were amazing to not get upset about needing help to get up.

you know about arnica montana c..a homeopathic remedy for bruises etc. it really works..i hope you are feeling better.
I think it is a coup that you got a message blocked. I would have loved to read it.

Hi

Thanks for all the nice reactions. The silly dog has a habit of suddenly stopping right in front of my feet, or changing direction so I trip over her. It took my hand only three days to be fine again. I have arnica-gel, actually, but did not even think to use it. How are you today?

I have been so thoroughly fed up with my depression, but really bone-weary of it. Of course it is impossible to suddenly get over it, the chemical imbalance takes time to re-adjust itself, but at least for the past three days I have been physically working hard around my house and garden, and also had a nice day in town with friends. The weather has been consistently sunny for two weeks now, I have found sympathetic friends here, it makes me feel like I am somebody again. So all in all I finally found the strength, after a couple of false starts, to go for life. I am so grateful for these past three days, whatever happens next.

Ha yes, it is an odd thing, I have attended some classes a couple of years back where a few resident Americans were also present. I am very careful about making the jokes that arise in me around my countrymen, they generally act insulted, but those Americans thought the comments I let slip when I was tired, were funny. So maybe I live in the wrong country?:D
