Life expectancy of those afflicted with Bipolar Disorder

No I do not think he is a troll. I think he is genuinely attention-seeking. I think BlueInanna's analogy with adolescent behavior is poignant. And he genuinely needs support but cannot receive it. Look, he comes to a support board and finds a woman who is literally prepared to climb the Mount Everest with him (I am citing the thread on Goldberg Mania test). And what does he do with her? He blocks her. Isn't it irrational? That's why I was telling you on another thread that people are not in their rational mind and it is thus incorrect to state that sure, everyone protects his or her well-being.

To the OP: when you post a topic on a human board, you are soliciting input. Input may surprise you or may not be exactly what you expected. That is because this is a human board. If you are unprepared for this input, it is best to resort to algorithmic methods of information retrieval, without human touch. In other words, do a web research, go to PubMed and read articles there.

ROFL!!!!! My friend was on a dating site, and talked with a man she liked on the phone. He told her he'd had a heart attack during sex in his past relationship. She chose to not meet him in person... lol...

I think this is prudent. Just this of the hassle if he were to repeat this experience in her bed. I would have done the same.

I have just finished rereading all the posts on this thread and have come to the conclusion that I am speaking an ancient obscure language. All the responses, except those in direct response to my original post, were off topic and baiting. I willingly took it.

What I wrote here you can carve in stone. I believe it freely and make no attempt not to share. I accept the onus of not being able to communicate my point. I don't think I will ever to make myself understood. That I am now a troll is infuriating. Like I said before, the first post in response to my question was two lines directed at the point followed by a lecture on suicide, which was directly off topic. That I complained about it got quite a few pairs of knickers in a bunch.

There is a core group of longtime posters who knee jerk any response to one of their own without thinking about what is being said. That you are close works for you. Personally, it is not a group I feel is worth my effort.
I put in a request to have my account closed. As has been my experience, I do not want to belong to a club that would have me be a member.

It would suck if you left Vig. but I understand that you feel you aren't being soupported enough. If you need/want to pm me you can. I ask you to keep your account open for support when you feel you need it.
