Introduction

Hi guys I am new here but just skipped over introducing myself and threw myself straight into the forums so let's rewind a minute.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder in 1990. It changed my life and not in a good way. My mother said "now you will never do anything with your life" and my Aunt said "we should put her in an institution". It was right then that I decided that I would live the best life I possibly could with this illness. I since met and married my husband and we had 3 gorgeous children who have all now reached adulthood. I have been in and out of hospital a lot since around 2008 and somewhere along the way had BPD added to my diagnosis. I enjoy art and crafts, playing computer games and watching tv. I was working with a psychologist and we were going to work on childhood trauma as I grew up in an abusive household but I kept getting sick so we are currently on a break. Not sure if I want to go back to therapy at this point in time. Not sure what else to add so I will just leave it here. Feel free to ask questions x

Oh @tonys

With all the commotion with the Coronation yesterday I completely forgot to put out a menu. Will make it real man’s food today to make up for it. You guys must be starving.

Hey there @tonys

Your support is most welcomed pal.

My whole experience was confusing on welcome introduce thread

A person became upset there for my changing the subject! About British shows

I had not realised that I was somewhere different.
So confusing

I tried apologising not met very well

started new thread then well a few upsets

I think that I spent more time mediating

So not what I need at present

catch you on a shooting star passing moonbase

it will be the star where you can see inhabitants sorting out issues#??!!all the
very best to you and

@eternalflower @LeChuck

Motion for the final Time closed my profile

Re: Introduction

Well motion, Its no secret I think the world of you mate.. and If you go for a wander down my paper trail, you see someone has to work pretty hard to upset me. So . . . I have a spare horse,

know a lot of hidden mountain passes, and can talk the fleas of a dead dog. So mate, I'll ride with you

any time @Former-Member , As for my table manners, well maybe I've been in the saddle a little too long,

But Sophia n apple usually give me the look and I behave again . . . for a few minits, and then

Meggle, well mate, she is a trooper...

So . . . I guess what I'm saying is, if you feel the need for a stress free ride through life, there are those of us that don't need to win all the time. you come here any time you see our campfire.

Sounds like your just hanging in and thats not how it should be. I can enjoy differing views, hell,

I love a differing view, Its how I learn, And plenty of folks see me coming they run a mile too. We are both well intentioned and never abusive,, We cant be all things to all people.

So.. the mats a bit grubby, but Its rolled out for you... anytime, motion. You take care of you

and the stars take us , where they take us.

Very best wishes... tonys...

Re: Introduction

@Former-Member Read your post properly again. Sorry man, I'm a little slow at reading between the lines.

Mate If you start another thread. Invite the folks you feel comfortable with, that are not going to up and change on you at the drop of a hat. Make it clear that its a stress free zone to newcomers, and mate

... I'll go any where you post me as will others I know. speaking of which if you see LeChuck,

He owes me a wisky. . . .

OK well I'll leave you with those thoughts, but please get back to me sometime, and remember,

Its not up to you to please and apologise to folks. Your a good man. n thats all you need. tonys.

@Former-Member

You don’t know me and I have not read your other thread. I just know that @tonys thinks the world of you and has missed you very much. If you choose to stay it just takes an email to Sane to reverse your decision. I once tried to close my profile too.

This here is my thread and now that we have moved the town it is inactive. You are welcome to make this thread your new home. You can just invite your safe people here. This is a pretty quiet thread.

I hope that you will stay. It is so heartbreaking when your close mates leave the forums family. For @tonys sake would you reconsider?

Re: Introduction

Oh motion this is so beautiful sorry i missed it. Im starting to feel unsafe here. I was also told off for changing topics but i think mods did try. I would not talk to others the way some here have tslked to me, and mods didnt do too much.

Re: Introduction

Hey dear @tonys @Oaktree,

How are you both? I hope you're doing alright and the last couple of months have been kind to you. If not, sorry I haven't been here to lend an ear, things have been a bit weird in LeChuck land. Lots of love,

LeChuck xxxxxxxX

Re: Introduction

Hi @LeChuck

I am so happy to see you. I have missed you. All our townsfolk have been missing in action… I am glad that you are ok.

I have been quite busy tending to my garden. What have you been up to these last few weeks? I hope that you are out of the asylum and feeling a bit better.

Thinking of you,

Meggle

Re: Introduction

U got this @LeChuck hope ur doing as well as can be

Winter here, cold and stressful but trying to get to appointments, set up NDIS. Never thought id be accepted so i dont know what im doing

Hope u are doing well

In response to: Re: Introduction

Re: Introduction

Wow @Oaktree so your garden is going well, that's awesome! I'll take a look back through the posts to see what you're growing! I am going to show some lettuce in planters at my house, wish me luck! @EternalFlower you finally got on the NDIS? That's great news! Sucks that you are stressed though.

Got out of hospital about 3 weeks ago, was a bit of an adjustment after nearly 3 mobths in! Spent a week in a sort of daze and then have had 2 weeks of mad chaos scrambling to deal with all the stuff that had piled up while I was away. Starting to get on top of it though. Feeling good. Better than I have in years actually, very exciting!

Xx LeChuck
