calling the dept of mania management

hi ya'll...

there is a new-ish member named LeahT who is really struggling with a super long and intense bout of mania and i have tried to teach her how to use the public boards to reach out, but she is so up i'm not sure it has sunk in...

so i'm asking on her behalf for as many of you as possible to bombard her with hugs and msgs such telling her that ds is here to support her through this...

she really wants to chat with someone, and i have been trying to do it through msgs because my chat keeps crashing not only my chat window, but my browser also...so it is slow going to say the least, but i am keeping at it...but she seems to lose interest in it (mania, what can a bp do)...

anyway, i just thought it might be a nice gesture for others to welcome her to the board and let her know she is not alone...she seems to feel very alone in her current struggle...

thanks so very much for your help...!!

xx, sL

i'm a tecchie among other things, so the 'puter(s) is(are) not the problem...but maybe our current internet provider...we are also running a whole house ethernet-based music system (sonos) that i'm playing one of my pandora stations on right now...so...that could be eating a bit of bandwidth...but i really think it's the svc provider...we're moving soon to the new house anyway...not worth changing in the short term ::sigh::

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
