[Ocean Swimmer]

I need to wait till high tide. There are too many sharp rocks in the ocean to get in at low tide.
Plus a wave blew my swim shoe off last week.
So, when we thought my husband was coming there was a completely different agenda planned. His 12 seater flight from the city was expected 5pm Sunday.
I'm already feeling very vulnerable since I heard about the break in and robbery. It's bringing back memories of other robberies.

I know if I swim it will help. Unfortunately the tide comes in at 4:30 this afternoon.

Now I have robbery on the brain.
It's like when I let my mind drift to abuse then I think about all of the perpetrators of abuse. The thoughts flood in to hurt me.
Now I'm really hurting. Every thing unjustly illegally taken from me is running a huge loop in my head.
Help.

I've have been robbed a few times. Hard to forgive or forget.
You're strong and will get over this. It's a matter of time.
Go for that swim!.

[Ocean Swimmer]

Thanks honey!

Definitely go for the swim! I went for my swim this morning and I feel so much better

[Ocean Swimmer]

Yay! Went to store. Got some of my favorite things.
Went to beach. Ultra hi tide. No sand left.

Got out there. Oh yeah. What an hour swimming won't cure.

Ocean Swimmer,

I am sick of hearing about the ocean. I know people in every facet of life has issues. Mental health doesn't have a limit on rich or poor. So, I see that you are lonely... you know what, I am not going to try to soften this.

You are really annoying me. When I log in now, I see your name over and over and over. Must you post your ever thought? If you were coming from a place of wanting others to understand how mental illness has effected your life, so through your sharing they could better understand they are not alone I would be okay with it.

Or if you were posting to help other people with their specific issue at that time, I could understand over a thousand posts in 3 months.

But no, we have to hear about .... do you want to swim today, do you want to pick fruit from your papaya tree in the back yard today, are you saving money by watching fireworks over the ocean from your living room couch today.

Really?

I understand you feel like a fairy princess in a castle so misunderstood and neglected - but you have no concept of how you are coming across to me at least. I know everyone here so far seems to just be trying to be understanding and accepting of you, I have to, but it has gotten to the point that I am avoiding this place - which I need - because you are here talking about yourself.

I am sick of it. Could you keep interacting here, because I don't want you to go. I want us to learn from each other, but could you at least consider here that you are talking to others who are in pain and anquish - most with serious financial struggles that just don't want to hear about problems as superficial as yours.

You have some serious problems. So do I. Those I don't mind sharing.

But that other stuff is just pissing me off.

To Imah,
Thank you for your opinion.
I don't like your signature which I have to continue to scroll down on my iPhone.

You may think that I'm not suffering bipolar but you are wrong.
If I told you I was on welfare or SSDI would my pain be more real to you?

I guess you don't relate to me.

I do try to come up with meaningful ideas to help people. FYI, I've gotten tons of compliments. People who've said they enjoy all my posts and read everything I write.

So if I'm pleasing most there are bound to be people I'm pissing off like you. We are all bipolar so our opinions are going to reflect our moods.

So, ignore me. Don't read about my problems. Just because I am not homeless does not mean my type of problems and stresses are not real.

I'm hypo right now, so I've probably been active on forums. But I'm honest. I don't make crap up. Bipolar happens to celebrity's, CEO's, lawyers and others.

Imah, Nobody has superficial problems. Class differences divide people just as race, ethnicity, religion, geography, age, ability--too many things. I think it is unkind and unfair to call out people in anger and judgement over personal characteristics, because that can cause harm and pain. That attitude is out of place here.

So, Ocean Swimmer, I'm in a land locked place, and like to hear about your swims.

[Ocean Swimmer]

You are a doll Violet! Thanks.
