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

Absolutely love love this

Do you like Imagine Dragons?

I was going to post on said music thread and went back over an hour searching.

Then thought....hmmm

I seem to have mastered the skill of frightening people away on these here forums so posting my broad range of taste in music probably would not help my cause

Some people are great at accepting anybody though.

So I am going to add to your contribution.

Here goes

ps my boys introduced me into the world of rap and hip hop .

Took me a while to pick myself up off the floor when I first heard some of the language have to say.

Then looked past that. Some I would not let them play when I was there.

Enjoy being you Le Chuck.

perhaps we could have music night at the number 8 or lucky 8 saloon.

Not karaoke though please.

Cartoons keep them coming.

Thought that you were writing about me laugh.

Love your replies re writing the news.....

What newspaper tells the truth anyway.

Hey I have lived my whole life daydreaming anyway.

I am an Alice down the rabbit hole type of girl.

Yes street art all around our Grey Rock

Imagine waking up every morning to new art.

We will be right at home in total confusion..

Competing with the rest of the world.

Big Chief will organise rodeo when you want it to come to town .....scout party will send smoke signals for reinforcements.

I mentioned pet.

Pet is

 

meet Bald Eagle

Whatever you do, do not laugh at him he is very very sensitive

So we have to let him know at all times that we are laughing with him

On that note I will leave you in peace.

You probably won't hear from me for a week in my usual mode.

takes so much energy and time to do this for me......

phew

In response to: Re: Introduction

Re: Introduction

musical Tuesdays @LeChuck

sounds good as long as I do not have to be online like in chat.

too hard for me.

will add my spices when I land.

How is that?

have been bossy enough introducing so much.

No wonder @tonys thought I was the cyclone laugh

Re: Introduction

Just a thought to run past all of my neighbours here

@Oaktree @LeChuck @tonys

I promise ...girl guides honour.....last post for now... I really really really promise

What about when our beautiful friend Eternal Flower comes out of hospital we bring her here for a special afternoon out?

We prepare some food that she likes

We keep it very low key and calm just to let her know how much we value her and that she truly has friends.

Some time away from her thread with memories

Someone who has connections with Thyme perhaps could ask in the background and accompany her here. After checking with her.

Tonys can write her a poem. Le Chuck you can reassure her. I will try very hard not write a book and Meggle you write to her as well.

Just a thought

Bye for now

Re: Introduction

You never have to do anything here @Sophia1! love the idea of getting eternal over for a picnic. No idea how to sneak her in though. Do we just tag her? Or will others follow that? I have no idea how forums work

In response to: Re: Introduction

Re: Introduction

That's a lovely idea @Sophia1 @LeChuck I think you are right.. just a tag would do 😊
