bump

I can spend a lot of minutes thinking that I am out of work and have no income whatsover. Can no longer get my meds.
But what's the point. Ugly stuff happens all the time. I can't dwell on it because I'm bipolar and I'll get suicidal which sounds like a good thing anyway.
Isn't there anything Happy to think about?

Think of something nice. Lots of good happening in the world too

When I'm down, I think about my kiddos.

LOL mrbee....effin hilarious...MORE!

mrbee....I couldn't believe you posted taht again.
I'm laughing so hard I can hardly breath!!!! My face is beet red and my stomach hurts. That was SO UNEXPECTED!! HAHAHAHHAH! Im' going to read it again!!!!

well, hapless, I see your point, but lots of times people here argue about stuff they feel passionate about and people just aren't always going to agree. That's just human nature. And yes, we all have serious things in our lives as well, so it's not like we're all just trivial for it's own sake (even though it does seem like that sometimes, I think passions run high often for a reason. Sometimes really heavy fights-er, I mean DISCUSSIONS happen here. Anytime you get a group of people getting philosophical, you are going to hear clashing sounds.

and haps, I appreciate your peacemaking efforts--I used to try to in the begining, then I learned it was utterly futile!

Mr. Bee, those were so HIlarious and good for the soul.

Don't hold back on any more.

Our lives are not really our own. We experience them, feel them, but each journey is just one of the outcomes out of infinitey many. The point? The universe is trying to calculate the reason why a conscious existence is worth living. Bad shit happens unfortuantely, but the fundamental lesson is "live life the best you can." A good life is more pleasureable than a bad one. A bad one is uncomfortable - try to avoid it.

ok Mine is more a Im thankful then your line of thinking...

Im thankful my husband is just going away for 3 days for his weekend drill for the national gaurd and that he will be home soon. My heart goes out to all those other wives and girlfrinds that dont know when thier loved one will be home

Kaylebug, that is exactly what I am talking about. That feeling of being happy that your husband is home and safe is one of the reasons that makes life worth living.

whatever ive never been one much for compation.....i just reckon get on with it and stop feeling sorry for yourself

Compassion and feeling sorry for your self are two totally different things. Feeling sorry for your self would keep you from being able to look around and see that life isnt as bad as it could be. Having compasion for some one doesnt mean that you pity them. I have compassion for the people I work with (developmentally disabled) how ever I do not pity them I do not play into thier disability... I do the exact oposite. When ever I get to feeling like my space and boundries and freedoms are taken away from me I look at thier lives... I see that if they want t beer (they are on no meds) they have to ask a team of people if its ok. I do not pity them and therefor do all the work around the house... they dont walk the greatest in the world its a struggle... I enable them to do things for themself. Im compassionant with out pity. When they are down on life I point out some one that has it even harder then they do... like some one in a wheel chair. When the day comes that they are wheelchair bound... Ill point out the people that are bed bound... and when they are bed bound Ill point out those that are dead... maybe morbid but its life.

donnise you need to remember you can still look around and find others that are stuggleing and be understanding and compassionant and encourageing to 'get over it' doing so doesnt mean you feel pity or support them staing in a low place. Just some food for thought

We still need to see our own problems cos they affect us first-hand.They are our world.
Yr right too.Looking outside is good.

I'm grateful for having a computer.
