I think you are doing a pretty fine job being the you that you are. I see some people post as if they change their affiliations to get themselves better kudos but you stay true to yourself and what you believe in

Heh, it comes from being an only child with no pets. If I fucked something up around the house I didn't have anybody to blame it on. I learned to take my lumps and just admit my own screw-ups. It expanded to other areas as I matured. These days I try my frikken damnedest to own my fuck-ups as an adult too. I'm an egotistical bastard, and come across like I toot my own horn pretty easily, so I try to balance it by copping to my flaws.
 
I can understand a loved one not handling the situation well from time to time. That's very understandable.

At least, you didn't do what my ex-husband did. When I needed him most, he would ignore me. Once, after I was released from the hospital (due to the bipolar), I came home to discover that he had changed the locks.

*blink* What an ass.

It's frikken hard. Harder because of the distance. I just want her happy and healthy, and I worry that I'm not adding not adding to either. I need to figure this out and get it set right.
 
wow. It is like really quiet in here tonight.

I just wanted you all to know that my newest piece posted:
Living with Bipolar Disorder

If anyone reads it, let me know what you think.

*sipping ice coffee and eating pie... alone*

*hears crickets chirping*

(isn't that sound associated with the silent and lonely?)

good morning poets:kiss::kiss: I'll help myself to the blueberry muffins, and the coffee looks perfect. Lady a wonderful article, I will definitly be using it when I need to educate some peoples as to my condition.
as a fellow bipolar I can definitly relate, and confirm that you give good advice. And sometimes crickets are assoiacted with weather change, just another fun fact

Hey Hom, Is this you taking someone's pain as your own. I know you hate to cause extra unwanted hurt, but I'm sure that now you're aware of her cycling, you have been able to correct your interaction. Don't carry guilt around unneccessarily. It's not your fault that you were unaware and were cranky. You are an emotional person yourself and entitled to your own expression. You talk to MIS and you know she loves you even when you're cranky.

I think of all you offer your ladies and can't imagine how bad either of them feel if they imagine they've caused you to feel guilt. See the circle here? You do need to straighten it out, but not with guilty feelings.

Be easy my friend, you're on the right path.

I got a nasty comment on the article that I HAD to reply to. I know I probably shouldn't bother, but I was more concerned about someone reading it who is struggling with the disorder.
 
I can't get it to load either all I get is a box with a red X in it

What email addy should I report that problem to?

I have two more illustrated poems that were waiting, but rejected because they said they didn't receive the artwork, so I just resent them. I guess I'll be waiting awhile again for those to post. No big deal.
 
LadyS, I read the article and as most who are willing to leave their id's on their comments have left such positive feedback, I think you can rightfully delete anonymous comments such as this one. You're right, too many overtly righteous people claim the bible as the cure for all evils, well, even Christ cast out demons in a very physical healing and not through recommending that the afflicted read the Torah.

It's a good and helpful article and those who attack you as the author have no idea what they're talking about. LOL @ the most recent troll, he insists it's all from reading porn. Hmmm.. maybe he has a point.

Nah, he's wrong.

pm Laurel about the problem.

I think the easiest way to illustrate a poem is to write it in MSWord and then upload the file to Literotica. The powers that be then save it as an HTML page and then post it to the server.

Thank you. I needed this. :rose::rose::rose:

Well, that's how I did the other 2 poems that didn't post! LOL

I had that problem with this account. Something to do with Lit submission email and its SPAM filtering capabilities. If you didn't get an email from them verifying that you are a real person and not a spam bot, your email with attachments will not get through to them. I eventually had to send my illustrated poems with attachments through my alt's email address since it was previously scanned to not be a spam bot.

Pity they don't go back and reread comments I just told them what I think of them!

Thank you Champ. Sometimes I feel like I'm on the right path, other times I feel like I'm not doing right.

What it comes down to is that I am not used to these sorts of feelings. I, hell, I don't even know what to call this. I'm usually very sure of myself. Sure of what I do. If I am not sure, I examine the hell out of what I am doing/planning/feeling, and figure out where my issue is. Once I correct it, I am sure again and plunge on. I can't seem to do that here. I worry like crazy that I'm going to be bad for her.

I am sure that I love her. I am sure that she loves me. Bipolar, cranky, whatever, the love does not change. I guess that is the important thing to hold on to.
 
Well, I have to go do my schoolwork. I can't believe my first paper is due Saturday already (class started Tuesday).

You all are awesome, really. I appreciate how supportive you are to me and everyone here.

What goes around, comes around. A little civility goes a long way in encouraging folks to gather round and support each other. Even among all these snarky elitists. There must be one or two of them around here somewhere, everyone keeps talking about them. Oh and BTW, great little haiku in that illustrated piece.
