It all makes so much more sense for me now that you have written it down so eloquently. <BR/><BR/>I hope it helps you to see that you have so many friends who care about you, even though most of us are far away in the physical world. In terms of metaphorical closeness, however, I think you are blessed to have so many people caring and thinking about you.

I have suffered from manic depression for many years and so have a small understanding of what you go through with your rapid cycling. I am glad that you were able to work through the suicide desire and not act on it. <BR/>The holidays are often a time when it is difficult to remain on an even keel but I hope that you have a safe and happy holiday.<BR/>MAMad Asthmatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900631070917123841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-72498558251130851222008-12-23T11:27:00.000+01:002008-12-23T11:27:00.000+01:00Take care of yourself, Irene - you know more than ...Take care of yourself, Irene - you know more than anyone what has worked for you in the past and can maybe work out some way of dealing with the extremes now. <BR/>Christmas is a huge trigger for a lot of people and maybe the fact that last Christmas was a bit of a horrible time might not be helping. <BR/>You have so much fun in you underneath this mood and it will emerge - are you making plans to spend time with other people sometime next week? <BR/>Sending you virtual waves of strength and love to help you through this, dear one.

Everyone else perceives that other people are all having a wonderful time and it isn't really as great for many as it would seem. We are all human and no relationships are that perfect.<BR/>You seem to have a very good grasp of what is happening to you.<BR/>Going to see your SPN is a sensible thing to do. Seems that the new medication is not as perfect for you as the one you were taking preciously. Can you appeal about the health Insurance's decision?<BR/><BR/>Having lost a close friend through suicide, I would urge you to get help immediately that these thoughts go through your mind, because it leaves such chaos for the relatives left behind and your daughter loves you and must be very frightened that you are contemplating such a thing. I know it is all because of chemical changes in the brain & that is not easy to control your thoughts.<BR/>The fact that recovery is ALWAYS round the corner...... hang on to that...... my friend.

I'm ...Oh Irene, please take good care of yourself. I'm really sorry to hear about the BPD but I'm glad you're conscious of it and are trying to deal with it and its impact on your life. I may have mentioned that my mother was borderline, but never diagnosed, and it wrecked havoc in her life and in mine.<BR/>I'm sending you a lot of love, especially right now -- this can be such a difficult time of year. Know that my heart goes out to you and that you're in my thoughts.Cate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.com
