maybe six feet aint so far down

Well, I have never taken that med, it seems strong for such a small pill. I have noticed that the smaller the pill, the stronger the effect when starting new meds and it stays that way sometimes. Of course then you figure in absorption with food and what not. Its good your husband looks after you the way he does. I wish I had that kind of thing. I do have my mother though. But you know, its not the same. I still appreciate her though. She is a good person and does her part. I do the same for her. We look after one another. I know how messing around with your phone can quickly pass the time. I find that happens when I am looking at posts here on pc. My normal bedtime is 9pm and I am pretty good about not going past 9pm. Thanks for your reply. Its nice talking with you.

Fern. you radiate a very kind soul when I read your posts. It is very nice to be chatting with you. I appreciate the support you have shown me as well. I know that you have gotten me back from some bad places already in the short amount of time that I have been here on pc. I very much appreciate that also. It's not every day that that kind of thing happens. But when it does it is priceless. Hopefully things work out for you so you do not need meds. But don't forget, there is no shame in taking pills. Even if for a little while. Meds are an important part of who I am and I accept that. even though sometimes I despise them and want to flush them all down the toilet. I actually did that once. It wasn't a good thing to do. So that wont happen again. I didn't know you had lightsabers. I want one of those too. I will keep your flashlight also and try to offer one to others that I see struggling here when I can. Thank you again for your support and your analogy of the well. It was very visual and it did just the right thing at just the right time. I wont forget your kindness.

You are most welcome. I enjoy being here and I also enjoy your presence. I hope to cross paths with you often.

You nailed it. There is zero shame in taking meds. I needed them for a while. I wasn't going to come out of psychosis on my own. I am very grateful for the help they offered me in my time of need. I won't hesitate to return to meds if it is necessary to keep me healthy. Meds were like a light in my own well.

Lightsabers are a great tool for slaying the monsters we cross as we travel the well. They also keep us entertained with the cool noises they make You can have one of those too. You'll make it for yourself when you're ready to slay just like the jedi do.

I was just explaining to someone today that I really enjoy working with analogies. I worked in IT for years and often used analogy to explain complex technical concepts. In situations like these I find they help your brain to focus on abstract thought and less on the emotions and thoughts you're stuck within. It helps you process and analyze your situation in a new way and allows new insight to come forward. Plus it is just a lot more fun than using typical rhetoric. I'm a big fan of fun and try to work it into even the most dire situations. Actually, it is most important to weave it into the darkest of scenarios.

Keep climbing BipolarWolf. You'll move back down here and there. It only makes sense as sometimes we have to revisit levels a number of times before we master them. It's all good as long as you always remember how to climb and look up.
