They found the cure and forgot to inform us...

This note was underway when the clock changed to standard time at 2:00 am.
it disappeared but I was able to retrieve it through careful application of the ethereal principles of cytointergalyctic phenol travelmania.

When I was in a pretty desperate state and really needing support a couple of years ago this forum was my home.

Quietgirl will remember me posting replies to many of the 20 messages per day that appeared on the Bipolar forum as well as starting topics of my own.

It was a great community. There were lots of us sharing genuine empathy, compassion and shared experience, even if nobody had a magic pill to solve all our problems.

Today there is only one or at most 2 posts per day... and that brings me to the conclusion that they must have found the cure and are distributing pills quietly on the side ... and we've been left out.

Oh well, I guess I'll go crazy and get all my cash out of the bank. I'll walk down the street handing $40 to every burned out druggy who asks for help. Then I'll sit in a sidewalk cafe and sip a Latte - Double shot with soy milk and a splash of vanilla, while I listen to the sirens after the overjoyed druggies shoot up with fentanyl.

I'm just trying to be shocking. Life is horrible. Some people are actually much more sick than I am. I am truly blessed. I don't know what the solution is. I know the history of heroine addiction goes back thousands of years but drug use was invisible in all but the most wretched inner-cities until 20 years ago. Now it is everywhere.

Maybe this post will get me a Pulitzer Prize for cutting social commentary. Or a rebuke for drawing attention to what a sick and twisted society we live in.

Don't worry, be happy. Everything happens for a reason and God works in mysterious ways.

If you're stable, why would someone come post on this forum? I like to forget I have bipolar most of the time. It's a good support group for people that are new to the illness. Maybe there's a bipolar subreddit that everyone's on.

Hi Skilsaw,
I remember you posting a lot back then and what a wonderful source of support you were and still are. Sadly, the last time I checked, they hadn't found the cure for bipolar. Back then, I was on here day and night too, if you can remember that as well. I sometimes lived here.

The day and night thing was truly amazing. Oliveira lived in Netherlands and is 7 hours ahead of me here on the west coast of North America. When I was totally in despair at 3:00 am in the middle of the night, I could log on and he was there. What a life saver.

Quietgirl, If I remember correctly, you are on the eastern side of the Atlantic too. You were also there for me in the middle of the night.

Have the European forum members got anybody in Japan or Korea they can talk to in the middle of the night?

"Gung Hay Fac Choi" translates "Flowers blooming, Rich and Precious." A traditional Chinese New Year's Greeting.

When you need a lift, just smell the flowers, buy a lottery ticket and know that you are Precious!

I am firing on 8 cylinders tonight. Too bad I am one of those old inline 12 cylinder engines from the 1930's... In a previous life I was the power plant in the kind of car the bootleggers and mafia drove during the prohibition.
Skilsaw, you are getting a little weird! Did you take your meds today?

I bought a lottery ticket the other night and I didn't win my millions. But that's ok, I might have better luck the next time I decide to play.

In in the Central part of the U.S. But yeah, I know what you mean about having had someone to chat with in the middle of the night. Oliveira was a great friend to have on here. He was always very supportive. I miss him.
