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 miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
