It's old, sweetie. I don't even think Colefort is hanging around anymore. He posted that thread weeks ago.....
Hi there ! THANKS for letting me know this.
I was sitting here, thinking about getting in touch with you.
I promise ! I was afraid you might be busy.
I have some time to myself for a change. My Hubby has gone fishing,
til' Saturday ! I like having time to myself. I'm bad...,
' no Kids ' !!!!, and ' no Grands. ' !!!!! lol.
I truly was interested in his situation, as one of our three Daughters has
recently been diagnosed as being Bipolar.
She is doing really well though. She recently graduated with a double major,
in Phychology and PR. I KNOW this has helped her, she deals with it all of
the time. She works for a VA Hospital. She loves her job.
Of course, she knows to take her meds., and keep in touch with her P Doc,
you know ? BTW, she is being treated with Lithium. I was a little surprised,
by this. I have heard the P Doctors have gone back to Lithium. It's working,
so that's what matters, right ? (And, I can't think what other meds. !)
She's 29, and I have told her for a long time that, ' she could get married
when she can't do anything else !'lol.
She, of course has dated a bunch of guys, however, she gets tired of
one really quick ! BUT, she says she has met ' Mr. RIGHT ' !
He's a nice guy. We don't see her much, and we haven't been around her
new BF much at all. So, her Dad and I worry about how this guy is going to
deal with her..........., uhhhh illness. (This is still hard to say.)
All I can say is if he is as supportive as this guy was/is ?, I think she will
be fine.
I hope you don't mind that I shared this with you.
THANKS again, and let me know when and where, you think would be a
good time to post my story.
Take Care,
Gee Gee
PS. I was MOST impressed with your information you gave to this guy.
I am serious, ' you couldn't have said anything any better ! '
(I DO believe we think along the same lines, don't you ?)

Re: " Last page ????????? "
Thanks. I find time to check in every so often. Everyone is so nice and helpful here. I look for opportunities to help out when I can. I know there will be a time when I need someone to be there for me.....
If you're interested, you can click on my user name, and it will ask you if you want to read my other posts, and threads, and my whole story is on there basically. I have my moods, (of course) so some posts are really upbeat, and some are 'not so much'.
Anyhow, just post whenever you want to, make up a title for what you feel like talking about that day. I try not to keep mine too long, or it's too much to read at once.
I'm still around, in fact I log onto the boards about twice a day, and try to read as many of the threads as I can. I read more than I post because I have little that I can contribute to most of the threads. I still feel like I gain something from reading most of them though, even if I can't contribute. I agree, what people have posted in response to my situation has been priceless as far as my relationship goes. It has really helped me get through a couple really really tough times that I did not understand. Where it felt like my world had literally been turned upside down. Even though I have said it in just about every post, I still don't think I could ever say thank you enough to everyone who has helped me.
I think the best way to put it is that everyone who posted here gave me a small piece of a puzzle that I was trying to put together without any picture on a box to go by. I know this is just the beginning so I would love to hear your story/input. I know there are more pieces out there, and I know that the most important pieces I am going to have to get from her. I am working on that right now, and I think I am just now starting to see the picture.
Please post your story/input for me, I would love ot hear it. Believe me, I will read it, and it will most likely help.
I'm glad that your daughter has found someone that she feels like is the one. How long have they dated? Does he know that she is bp yet?
I don't know quite what to think about this, maybe I am a bit on the hyper
side. Yep ! I am still up, eating my frozen yogart ! (I am addicted to it !)
What on earth made you stop and look at this title of this post ?
I figured you were around somewhere. Glad you are back.
Since I read your first post, I have thought about my Daughter, Sarah,
and how she has really falling for this guy friend, and talking serious stuff !
She never has !
Oh, yes, he is totally aware of her being Bipolar. I think they have been
going out together for about eight months or so.
I just hope that things will work out the way they are supposed to. And,
I hope for a miracle........., that he will be as understanding as you are.
I have to include my Hubby in this one. He is so very special.
I tell him all the time, that I don't know how he puts up with me.
But he doesn't like for me to talk that way.
He's a real laid back kinda guy.
And, he is very knowledgable about my being Bipolar.
I can tell you that the main regret I have is how I mistreated my Kids,
and my Husband, when I was going through the Hell of the ' Manic episode ',
in 1985. (Noooo, I didn't beat my Kids though.)
It sounds like you are doing much better. I find your writing to be very
eloquent, like when you were talking about the pieces of your puzzle.
Verrrrrrrry interesting. I think writing is very good therapy. Don't you ?
I think you are learning how to deal with all of the,
WORST of the ' For better or worse ! ' Don't you ?
I know it's hard on you, and I know how patient you have to be.
So, keep up the good work.
I believe that you are in her life for a special reason.
I promise to get my story out there, but I am about to fall over.
More later on.........., okay ?
I just had to get back to you because I told you I would.

Hi ! From Gee Gee !
I know, I am still up eating my frozen yogart. I know I am hyper, and I never can sleep when he is gone.
Girl, I have been reading some of your posts, and some of mine too !
I can't believe how much we have in common and how similar our views are,
not only about being Bipolar, but agreements about Meds., and stuff.
You know ?
I feel so weird........, I feel hyper, but I feel soooo depressed TOO !
I took my meds., around 9:00, and now I must go and take some more.
I have been sleeping in the daytime and staying up late at night.
I will talk to you tomorrow, okay ? I just had to get back in touch,
cuz I told you I would.

Re: " Last page ????????? "
Hi, both of you.
I'm glad you're still around, Colefort. I guess I assume everyone is a blabber-mouth like me!!
I didn't get a chance to check back in last night, my daughter was having a rough night with her cold, I was busy with her and my husband..anyway, I'm kinda busy today, too, got to get my daughter to the doctor.
So, make up a title for a new thread if you feel like sharing, and I will check in later.
