My short-lived hiaitus has ended. Such willpower! Such control!
You were in a very bad state this weekend - what is the status with you? Are you able to get some relief?
p.s. I have read some boards that I don't normally.

In reply to Racer, how are you today?, posted by partlycloudy on June 21, 2004, at 13:31:33
I was planning on posting something to you today: I heard on CBS radio this thing about how Florida isn't really the "Sunshine State" so much as the "Partly Cloudy State" and was going to razz you about having a state motto made up just for you.
Today was and continues to be pretty overwhelming, but I've lived through most of the day so far, so only another 37 years to go -- last statistic I saw, at least. Not as bad as some of the days last week, but still not good.
What does feel good is that someone who is in her own crisis cares enough to ask. Thank you very much for that gift.

It's so hard to go through a desolate time all alone. My husband, who is my staid defender, hasn't a clue about what my depression, mania, and panic does to me. He just supports me unconditionally, questioning only whether I'm safe or not. I find it difficult to be completely truthful even with him, trying to plaster that inane smile on my face while my lips tremble. What an act. The highs and lows of my past week have exhausted me. Please take good care of yourself and let others care, too.
And another 37 years on this earth is practically another life's worth of years (if you're not very well. Bad bad joke). It's not a sentence, it's a whole new chance every day to give something back, if we can spare it. And if you can't give, you ask. That's what being part of humanity is about for me.
Regarding our weather - I have been equating my emotional state with weather for a long time. Like a depressive episode is a front, mania is a high pressure system, the rest of the world lives in the jet stream, and I make hurricanes and tornadoes of myself trying to catch up to them.
Tonight, the seas are calm. Storms are offshore, the evening clouds are majestic and full of colours. We get great skies here. it should be a peaceful night.
This is the end of the thread.
