sometimes it's a good feeling...other times....you feel like people suck you in because you have a huge, caring, loving heart...and other times...it's the right thing to do, but goes against what you said previously....

for example:

Just Asking...

feeds@yuku.com (powerboop) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:28:57 GMT

OK I have a hypothetical question....

If you or your SO were faced with stopping medication (psychotropic) so that other medical meds could be utilized and you KNEW it was going to lead to either Mania or Depression how would you weigh the decision?

Would you risk the mental illness rearing its head or would you opt to stay/encourage them to stay medicated and look to treat other medical issues with various methods or other meds that might have side effects possibly more...

Hi back at the board how many...3 years down the track, wondering how others are going.

Divorced 2 years ago and he jumped immediately into another marriage. Yet he still thinks of me as his best friend, supports us well financially, and so on. He calls us "we" and I wonder sometimes what is going on.

But all there is to move on, get healthy, mainly raise the kids. Psych told me he had a borderline personality disorder, but without help for the depression, it...

Comfort in seeing "friends" still here

feeds@yuku.com (Wolfsmate) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 01:32:54 GMT

Hi. I've been out of the loop along time. This evening, I'm feeling lonesome, and like I'm stuck in a strangers body. Last year, I finally felt so awful, I went to the Doctors-I thought it was a major cold-not going away. I was tossed into emergency pretty quickly. I couldn't breathe because of clots in my lungs...I have high blood pressure (don't we all?) and I'm afraid I sometimes snap out of foggy feeling of being in the comfortable arms of "the...

Powerboop, are you okay?!

feeds@yuku.com (Tesan1) — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 09:36:39 GMT

Hey there Powerboop, are you still around? I'm not around much anymore, but I don't see your name here in the last couple of days. I saw on the news that your town was wiped out by a flood and they were actually rescuing people in those duck boats. (The kids and I rode on one of those when we were in the Dells a couple years back - they are awesome.) I'm hoping all is well with you and the family flood-wise and otherwise. Love, Tesan

Not so good news from an oldie

feeds@yuku.com (Purplegirl) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 20:46:34 GMT

Hi all!
I'm back...not with good news....can't really tell too much right now as I'm still in a state of shock. Long story short...after all these years, DH spiraled downward, had an affair (no love involved...just sex!), and now I'm faced with a mess. He wants to be married...is very remorseful....back on meds and is seeing a counselor soon (has an appt.). The depression has come back to haunt us....DH admits it....very frustrating!

Bad weather

feeds@yuku.com (elegallyblind) — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 13:25:23 GMT

I have been watching CNN and my son has called several times from the Milwaukee are and told me how bad the flooding is down there and also he saw a tornado (while he was in traffic). Now this story about the Boy Scouts, it is awefull. Just sending my thoughts and prayers to everyone and sure hope everyone is safe & sound from our wonderful little group.

Booty Calls

feeds@yuku.com (powerboop) — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 22:52:55 GMT

I just wonder with all the banter back and forth lately why "we" deny having booty calls.

For those of you unfamiliar with the term it basically means your hormones go into over drive with the mere mention from the opposite sex (or same sex if that be your preference) and you end up having meaningless pointless hunger driven animalistic sex just because your there and so are they...for the asking....so to speak

This makes me think back to the days of Arsenio...

Update

Been in and out lately mostly just checking in.

The ddtr has decided to move out at the end of June and in with the boyfriend. Well sort of anyway. They are moving in with his mother because they don't have to pay any rent. He just graduated from college and has a job unrelated to his degree but doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. Isn't that special? I know, I know I should cut him some slack. She is taking her meds but refuses to go to any type of therapy...

Dating Advice Needed

I have a friend that I "accidentally" met last year. He was trying to contact another friend of his that was a weight lifter at his gym. He accidentally contacted me, instead. (Turns out that she and I are both weight lifters with the same first name and both live in the same town. What are the odds of that?! I don't have a common first name.)

In any case, we started chatting, emailing, texting, hanging out and before you know it, we formed a friendship. So, here's...
