Hey @Loopy
You will not sicken us with your honesty. Not ramblings at all.
Thanks for sharing how you are feeling. I can relate, I'm sure others like @Rick can too (@Alessandra1992 also, but I think she's away lucky thing). Please rememind yourself that the intensity will pass, I know it feels excruciating in the meantime. What helps you to self-soothe Loopy? We are here for you, so keep talking to us please. And if that is using prose then so much the better - however it flows out. Better out than in I say.
Take care of you please.
Hope endures... that you'll keep talking to us, we hear you my friend.
Kindest regards,
Kristin

Hey there Looped One.
If your poem is any thing to go by then your riding rough?
What I find interesting about you as a person that I don't really know is this.................
You have enormous insight into the experience of others, you a appear to be driven to support. This is an attractive trait in anyone. You don't try to rescue which would be pointless, but you provide a certain succour which is very rare.
it seems too, that your use of "guerilla" humour is well targeted. and always to positive affect.
I infer from your many posts that you've been dealing with the shite for a very long time. Tired but steady?
It's not easy to characterise a person only through their posts. And you seem to hold so much back.
The appropriateness of your last post to me, was chilling. The nail was hit squarely on the fecking head (scuse my french or irish). I can't tell you how much it was appreciated.
So when I read that your are concerned that u might rabbit on some, I must, truly, say thee NAY!
It's not a fecking issue.
Let's just say you were rabbitting on? That's what this joint is for..........
So rabbit on! please.
Hope ( being an annoyingly persistant bloody thing) endures

Rick, I am afraid that my style of caring is as result of my previous job and apparently , so I was told by my sister, I was like it beforehand. Thinking about others is first nature to me and I get a bit of a rush when comments like yours are returned which in turn makes me feel that I am helping someone, in the same or worse situation as myself.
I certainly don't do it with any ulterior motive I really get a good feeling if I have helped some one else see a gateway or a way of easing, no matter how small, their pain.
I thank you from my heart for your words of wisdom and insight,
I will always be a bloody, Irish, stirrer.
Gracious Loopy.

kristin, thank you . And the words to Rick apply to you and all who are helping me by taking what I say, not as gospel, but as words from and experienced MI sufferer and with buckets of life experience behind me.
Without you all and SANE I would be a nothing.
Gratefully yours for a time. "How long is a piece of string" Now theres a heading for a new discussion".

justanother47yr, Hi there, i are back. Just alittle present for your Arlo.
Mrs Green was walking to the post office when her neighbor came up to her and said "Hello Janis, How’s your dog? I saw her yesterday chasing an old man on a bike."
"Oh" said Mrs Green "That could NOT have been my dog"
"Oh, why not?" replied her neighbor "I’m pretty sure it was her"
"Well" stated Mrs. Green smiling "my dog doesn’t ride a bike"

kristin, thank you so much for your words of encouragement, they are great. I should thank all those who have rallied when I let you know just how I really feel most of the time.
poem
To me you are an angel in disguise.
Full of intuition, intelligent and wise.
Always giving and helping through good times and bad times.
You are the best friend I've ever had.
If I had one wish it would surely be
to give you as much you've given me
Though I've put our relationship through some cloudy days,
you've been my sunshine in so many ways.
Though trials and tests, right by me you stood,
and gave me your hand whenever you could.
Thank you so much , my friend
My gratitude for you has no end....

Hi Anne
Court can be rough going, I am glad you had good rep from Legal Aid. Sorry it sounds like the police have been unhelpful in this? No wonder you are tired.
Good for you for volunteering - I really hope that works out well for you.
Kind regards,
Kristin
