Do you think that it would be a good idea......?

[- darkman® -]

To have each one of us look out for, keep tabs on but not in an
imposing way, one other, so each of us knows that we are cared for and
not alone as we walk along the lonely road? Would each of you take one
of us? Please let us know. Thank you.

Most sincerely,

not a bad idea, like having a sponsor in a way

Yes Mike, it could in many ways be very similar to having a sponsor.
Not that one would be senior or imposing but as you said a sponsor, a
"no matter what", friend. Thanks for tightening the role up

Best regards,

That sounds good to me as long as I do not have to pretend to be what I am not...hehehe just kidding   I am leaving here in a bit to go see my Therapist. her name is Dr. Talente (imagine that) and I like her so much. I have been going to her for almost a year now. I feel like she is my best friend even though I have not told her that. It is nice to be able to be myself good or bad and she has to sit and listen to me for a whole hour! hehehe  I do try to be "good" for her though just like my med doc cause I know they are trying for me, ya know? I had a really good day yesterday and I am feeling hopeful, I love it when that happens! Well who wants to be my check in pal, I hope who ever does , does not get the short end of the stick.....Donna

This is a great idea; hopefully we go through our dips at different
times. When you are ready, give us the details.

Yip, I'm in.
Is this going to be like softball or baseball like you guys have over
in the states and we start just calling out the names of the people
for our team? Cos since this is cyberspace and we all on at different
times the lil teams of three or four may not happen unless someone
like me gets all alpha male and hits some people over the head and
drags them to their cave. I agree with Furman, about more than two.
Ok, so, Darkman and Donna, wanna be hit over the head by my club?

I am not quite certain that you could handle an Alpha male or even his
mail...go figure. However...

Laffin, so ya'll got some warm caves in NZ?

I agree with Furman, about more than two.

Ok me too...

As for me I'd rather come willingly. Can't speak for Donna but she is

lates,

PS. Here's a short scoop on lithium and thyroid. You doc might should
have put you on cytomel. It would have fixed your problem. Look for a
psychophormocoligist they have all the knowledge of psychotropic drugs

http://thyroid.about.com/b/2009/03/04/lithium_thyroid_bipolar.htm

sig to follow..... I am a romantic rogue huh... later I will write a
short bit about bipolar women as I am expired umm inspired by all that
I have read tonight. Perhaps you may identify....or..perhaps not...

Like Lord Terrabyte and I used to say.. We seek any illness just to
find the cure. Think about it ladies. The guys already are hipped.
Laffin..not really but do think about the line.

[David Watts]

Caro I like it!

[ddmsp...@aol.com]

Richard, I think this is a great idea. How do we go about doing it?  Donna

[zipper]

I'm not really thrilled with the idea. There is/was a room (not
bipolar) where I hung out and felt comfortable. The room's members
began talking on the phone to each other. I wasn't a part of this,
thus I was left very alone, so I left. I can see the phone-thing
evolving in this room. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. shawn

Well D, We could raffle you off to the highest bidder but since I know
the printer and all the scalpers, I'll take you. Write me a note on a
daily basis to let me know that you heart still beats and we'll figure
the rest out.

Best,

Rick

There is no dignity in dying alone Shawn. I've seen it happen 7 times
in 16.5 years. The score would have been 7-0 but that other guy
Damascus , 4 other people good with computers, a world wide audience
and to some extent me, saved 4 others in 3 countries.

Stick to your story and I'll live with mine.

PS. The reason that I occasionally ask folks what cocktail they are on
is because I am pretty well schooled in contraindicated meds. Have you
ever heard of a mentally ill person having more than one doctor? Or
havinf several but telling none what pills they are already taking?
From your notes here on the board I would guess you to me pretty savvy
but would your take an ssri or any third gen anti depressant the day
after or with an maoi? Many people couldn't even tell you what drugs
they are prescribed let alone what they might do if swallowed
together. By the way, don't do that and if you reply to this note on a
timely basis, snip the drug part as you bottom post your reply.

PSS. Then there is always suicide to consider. Still sticken to your
story when you might prevent another from hitting the brick?

[ddmsp...@aol.com]

Shawn, I am glad you said that because even though I said I would participate what I really wanted to say was I feel like if we have enough constant contributors to this cyber group I would  be very happy with that. I mean I feel like if I have a question or concern someone always seems to shine a light on it for me and I help as much as I can for others. I think it is a good idea that maybe if we see someone writing quit alot and then are not writing for a couple of weeks if someone shoots them an email and just to see how they are, that was my main thing I saw good about something to the effect. Honestly I am a low energy person and "having" to check in makes me not want to check in, I am weird that way but it's me. Thanks Donna

Well furman, since you have the coolest phone and the NOW network,,
how's about using the ol'e blackberry and give us a call. While you're
at it, use the Now Networks 411 ( umm that still information when you
have the Now Network?) and get Chucki's number. Tell her that we are
looking for her. In the meantime, keep up the good work.

Come on, Darkman. I'm feelin' a little bullied. How did expressing
my opinion segue to your personal S score card? There's no doubt
you've done some fine work. And many people are better off due to
your efforts.

Dunno what this is referring to. Presently, all I have is a drug
guy. Medicare pays shit to doctors and therapists.

I have considered S and CTB more times than you can shake a stick at.
Judging me is not going to pull someone, or myself, from the edge.
Which, by the way, is an inaccurate figure of speech. Most people
don't jump. shawn

[David Watts]

the last thing any of us need is to post and get beat up because one guy thinks it's incorrect.  correct it with kindness if it is incorrect, find a little gentleness.  knowledge is a gift not a bat. 

[Michael Wiley]

Well said David.  If we see others getting beat up for writing how they feel w/o going too far (being racial, sexist, using tons of profanity, etc.) then we should do just as David said.  use a little compassion and HELP others.  Ego's and pride sure can ruin a good chat group as quickly as talking politics and religion.
