    Give 2beeper2 a hug



    • Hug

      From SST November 6

      To make it stand, You wet it!

      To make it wet, You suck it!

      To make it stiff, You lick it!

      To get it in, You push it!

      Damn !!!!!!!

      Threading a needle when you're older is a BITCH!

    • Hug

      From SST September 22

      One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say"I love you."

      So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad habits and report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

      Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

      Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!

      I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.... Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?

      I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.

      Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile J can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow.

      I LOVE YA!!!

      Live today because tomorrow is not promised..

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      been bipolar all my life but only got diagnosed after a road traffic accident when i was in a mental health unit... i was 46 years old.. i finally had a reason for the behaviour i had shown for the past 30 years.

      Treatments

      Lamictal Working / Worked
      started on 29th december 2008... doing real well... still have up and down moments but not to the extremes of depression or mania
      Lofepramine Somewhat Helpful
      but still got depressed and may have triggered mania... gonna try some new anti depressants
      Pets Working / Worked
      my cats know when i'm depressed... they comfort me by staying close to me.
      Tegretol Somewhat Helpful
      put on loads of weight and had mylonic jerks... was okish but not brilliant
      Topamax Somewhat Helpful
      really calmed the manic spells but made me forget everyone around me, just lived for the moment, and couldn't stand the overheating side effects.....got given topiril, supposed to be the same as topamax but i went totally manic and ended up in A&E... coming off them can't stand the heat problem
    • Close Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

      had agoraphobia since 1995... probably mild compared to some people but can't do social situations without my partner... have good and bad days... also have avoidance behaviour... i can do the doctors, hospital, bank, supermarket but don't do anything else much without someone else being with me.

      Treatments

      Pets Working / Worked
      i go to the shops to get food for my cats...even if i'm having a bad day, i won't let them go without.

      knowing that my cats need me stops me on many occassions.
    • Open Female Sexual Issues

      i have bipolar... the manic side gives me a high sex drive but now the meds have killed my sex drive totally.... my partner is on meds which has killed his sex drive too... but i miss the intimacey... its not so much the sex... but we just don't seem to think about it any more and when i do i cry cause i miss it and feel so empty.

    • Open Pet Bereavement

      lost my two best friends in the space of a year... broken my heart and i still cry over them, years later... my oldest cat walked away to die and i still haven't come to terms with that... i didn't say goodbye to her.

      Treatments

      Pets Working / Worked
      my remaining cats keep me going and remind me of the good times i had with my angel kitties.

      Treatments

      Tegretol Not Working
      didnt really control the mania got paranoid also got mylonic jerks
      Lamictal Too Soon to Tell

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
