My thoughts on Dream

[snoozebutton]

I have kept quiet on the subject to give the initial pain and hurt time to sink in and calm down a bit. Though I agree things were spoken that should have been kept private. I would not expect anything different from Dream. No, I don't personally know her but having been in Lit over a year I have seen the fanciful sweet musings she has always spoken. So her lashing out with just as much venom only makes sense. But I take my sense of this lifestyle as a family seriously. I will offer my well wishes and prayers to both involved. In the most respectful terms she is like the zany family member who adds color to our lives. So I hope for her recovery and to tell her to beware the wolves that always appear when they smell the blood of a wounded animal. Please take this words in the sense that they were given as a hand out to a person in need.

Well,

I can appreciate your concern for Dream. I am not criticizing you snooze button, so do not take offense, and I apologize to you for highjacking your thread.

But I would really like to know this. If Dream is so broken up, why is she trolling new Doms in the Personals Forum under a new screen name? Oh yeah, and what about her other 4 screen names. Love has been busy.

After all, her love is true and she is on the verge of suicide. Correct me if I am wrong, but I have yet to meet a suicidal person who lined up dates before doing the dirty deed.

Methinks she doth protest too much!

dream is a dear and close sis. I have seen her posts and seen the love and laughter and tears that she shared. I envy the way she is so free with her feelings. It is not what or how I am. We are all different. I wanted to send my best wishes on the thread my Master started. I too take the life and the sense of family seriously. We need to be here for each other as we all have our challenges.

I send from here as I have in PM my best wishes to both dream and Art. May their lives be richer for what they have shared together and with us. My friends I am here for you. I love you both.

And now....a song for all the broken hearts out there by the legendary Hank Williams.

You Win Again


(Hank Williams)

The news is out, all over town
That you've been seen, out runnin' 'round
I know that I should leave, but then
I just can't go
You win again

This heart of mine, could never see
What ev'rybody knows, but me
Just trustin' you (ya gotta trust in me, baby)
Was my great sin
What can I do?
You win again

This heart of mine, oh, I could never see
What ev'rybody knows but me
Just trustin' you (just trustin' you)
Was my great sin (that was my great sin)
What can I do?
You win again

Yea what he said.

I cant believe it.

As I said I don't know her but I do hope she is moving on with her life. So we can all get back to the happy family that makes me happy to come here.

I agreed with you kayte. I love dream like a sister, would do anything for her. Artful and I go back a long time, they both have my heart.

Sure, I do not speak much here, but my life is of this lifestyle. It is awlful to feel overlook when you do try and speak here just like the GB. You get someone who speaks their heart and everyone needs to comment on it.

The funny part of it, everyone can get on with their lifes. No one could ever stop you, only you yourself could do that.

Yet when someone is trying to fit in, they feel overlook. I know I said I will be quite and listen and learn. But I am a women and we could change our minds. Well I wish the best for Artful and Dream, what ever is going to be will be.

Well speaking out here is either going to make me or break me here, but like the saying goes *What ever is met to be, will be..*

Nice analogy, Snoozebutton. Most if not all people contain both good and bad examples within themselves. It's just easier at times to recognize it in someone else.

 

[Ladybird]

Pardon me for butting in here, for this is not my forum, but I do have something to contribute.

Dream has posted here that she has Bipolar Disorder, as I do. Most people are unaware of the many sides to being Bipolar, and how it can affect us.

These are just some of the things that occur, and I think if you look closely, you'll find a reason for much of Dreams behavour.

The Highs

A manic episode is indicated by an elevated mood or an irritable mood accompanied by several of the symptoms below. The medical professional who is performing the diagnosis is likely to ask many questions about your condition to determine their degree of severity. Most of us have experience most of these symptoms at one time or another. Someone who has manic depression, though, is likely to experience a number of these symptoms over a significant period of time, in combination, with significant intensity.

restlessness—high energy and activity level
racing thoughts and rapid talking
decreased need for sleep
euphoria
distractibility
agitation
grandiosity—inflated self-esteem
pursuit of reckless or pleasurable activities
increased interest in goal-oriented activities.


The Lows

A depressive episode is indicated by the occurrence of a depressed mood or a loss of interest or pleasure accompanied by many of the symptoms below. Again, these symptoms are indicative of manic depression only if they occur with some persistence and severity.

hopelessness or pessimism
guilt, worthlessness, or helplessness
fatigue
insomnia or hypersomnia (inability to stay awake)
decreased ability to concentrate or make decisions
restlessness or irritability, agitation
loss of appetite and weight, or weight gain
chronic pain not caused by physical disease
recurrent thoughts of death or suicide; suicide attempts.

You should now be able to see that a lot of Dreams actions are out of her control. This doesn't make things ok, but it does give some understanding.

Hi AOS;

1. It's a bulliten board. If you post, people can comment on it if they want. You'll find the more you reveal in a post the more you'll get back in reply generally. This should not come as a surprise.

If you are also referring to your friend Dream, well, she filled this place with dozens of threads about her emotions over the past couple of weeks in particular....so yes, you're bloody well right we're going to respond!

2. Yes. That can happen. You are responsible for feeling overlooked if that's the way you feel. As for trying to fit in, I suggest you please yourself and find a neighborhood you feel comfortable in.

 

[Lancecastor]

I have trouble with people using their conditions as blanket excuses for bad behavior at the keyboard.

If I had Tourettes Syndrome and was spewing curse words at you constantly, eventually you'd point out that TS doesn't make me log on to Lit and type.

BiPolar Disorder doesn't command you or Dream to fill the forum with your jabber.

So please don't.

I have a very good friend whose sister is Bipolar, and yes a lot of the the highs and lows you mentioned are things that she's experienced. Correct me if I'm wrong though, but can't you control your actions by taking your meds? Isn't that what they're for? To make you stable so you don't hit these highs and lows? If you know that you'll lose control if you don't take your meds why do you stop?

I'm not attacking here, I'm questioning because for the life of me I can't understand it. If all it takes is taking a pill or two everyday for the rest of your life why can't you just do it?

Exactly, none of what you said makes any of Dream's antics okay.

Nothing more to see here....move along!

Dream is over on the Playground, in love again, so let's all move along....nothing to see here....

Mornin' Y'all

lark sparrow ~ Good morning. I too like His analogy. He does have a way with words. Hope you stop by again.

AOS ~ Glad to see you. Yes we all have to move on with our lives. Sometimes I know I need a little nudge. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

dream ~ Strong positive energies in your direction. Love you sis.

And I would like to piggyback if I may Lance.

This is specifically a BDSM Forum. Feel free to post about BDSM topics all you like. We welcome coherent thought on th e subject.
Dream's bipolar antics has nothing to do with BDSM. If you want to spew venom, that is what the GB is for. Feel free.

You are not contributing anything to this board if your topic is not BDSM, however you may justify it. That is the bottom line.

Thanks, for letting me add my 5 cents worth.

I read your post Cats Eyes, and feel I should take up your invitation...

Correct me if I'm wrong though, but can't you control your actions by taking your meds?

Not always. Some people, such as myself, are 'treatment resistant'... for some reason meds just don't work. It then becomes a case of taking the meds that work best... that's all. So that moods and behavour are still affected inspite of medication.

I'm not attacking here, I'm questioning because for the life of me I can't understand it. If all it takes is taking a pill or two everyday for the rest of your life why can't you just do it?

Wouldn't it be great if life was so simple, take a pill and all will be ok. Even for those who can control their moods with their meds, stressful events will still affect Bipolar Disorder. Nothing is perfect, not meds, not this world that we live in... nothing. That's why tolerance and understanding are so important.

Are you always this rude and abrupt.. or do you save it all up for this forum?

Ladybird and Cats Eyes ~ Thank you for your thoughtful comments and the insight you left for me and others on the challenges of that disorder.

Yes the peace, tolerance, understanding and warmth is what we all need from each other. Thank you again.

It is quite strange that I would stumble, literally, on this thread tonight.
Yes, it is a painful reality that has been the subject here, tonight. Your
general commentary regarding this, Kayte, is human and quite refreshing.
This is a cross that many bear, perhaps someone near and dear.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. As always,

I can be both rude & abrupt...and sometimes I just can't control it.

I seek your understanding.

It's a condition, you see, called "Idontsufferfoolsgladlyitus"

Thank you.

Then you do understand Bipolar Disorder... that's wonderful.

Of course I understand it, fool. (Damn, you're dense)

I just don't excuse it.

Noodle on that.

Argh! I thought you were above the F'n Dancing Banana, Lance! Heh

No, I'm not dense. I'm just not used to mixing with egotists such as yourself. Nor will I.

This forum was started for a reason other than you and I hurling sarcasm at each other. I have no desire to spend anymore time in this 'caring' environment.
