Thank God. Thanks for letting us know, Sundae. I'm glad he reached out to you.

OP, lookout123, sighted today.

Graaaaaaaaavdiggahhhhh??????

That is a good fucking question.

Has anyone told Jill that the coast is clear to come back now?

Jill?

Ibby?


Christmas travel, perhaps.

Grinch? :lol:

Sorry, I agreed with her on the gun thread... may have blown her mind.

Has anybody seen or heard from Big Sarge lately?

Nothing. I've PM'd him a couple times; no response. Sundae, have you heard from him again?

I was wondering about Grynch the other day...

ETA:

Also John R. Sellers...

He's still alive. I guess he needs time.

Okay. As long as he's still alive.

Anyone heard from Pamela/BrianR in awhile?

Nope not for ages. Hope she's ok.

Most likely, she's pretty smart.

Anybody heard from Cicero?

I was gonna ask about Philthy, but, I see he posted a few days ago.

I searched for John R Sellers, and got this:

Attachment 42415

Banned?

Draxx

Draxx and John Sellers are the same person?

I thought Draxx was Ibby was Ibram was Datalyss.

I thought John Sellers was chair bound.

Draxx/Datalyss/John Sellars/Wheel chair

Ibby/Ibram

Well, now I'm just confused as fuck.

Goddammit, ppl...Pick a fucking name.

If you don't know what you want to be called, how the fuck am I supposed know what to call ya?

Fuck it, everybody's Poindexters from now on.

Meh, I'll figger it out.

Or not.

:neutral:

Thanx, btw.

I use "Lissen, Bub."

I may have identified one of the problematic behaviors linked to your communication difficulties detailed elsewhere...

No, and I continue to feel concerned for her. She's no longer active on FB and seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. I'm afraid she may be somewhere down a long, rough road. I hope she is able to make it back. :(

Digr + glatt + 3foot + V
OMFG... LMAO

Spoke with IM this morning: she's calm and (most importantly) thinking (instead of emoting and reacting).

She much stronger than she gives herself credit for...I expect she'll regain her balance presently and then rain bloody hell down on the grief-causing jackasses.

Great, thanks. Am assuming she's still in there? I haven't been able to call :(

Just found this thanks [I have always wanted to call someone] HQ! :)

I miss her already :(

I have found that "Hey, fuckface" usually works.

YMMV

Do you also apply the chest poke with that?

She'll be 'in' probably till tomorrow.

Spoke with her yesterday afternoon.

She sounds calmer than I've heard her in a long time.

Later, I'll send the # (by private) to any who want to ring her.

Will she share her drugs? ;)

HA!

She claims, except for something to help her sleep, the pushers ain't pushin'.

She's an honest sort, so, you're probably out of luck.

Surely, here in this place, there must be at least one or two users of 'this' or 'that'!

C'mon, folks: pony up for Spexx.

can't he write his own scrip?

I don't know...can he?

Please. I have a number which I only ever got her on once.
Not sure that's even active any more.

she told me they gave her trazodone last night. for someone like me it's nothing but for a newbie, it'll do the trick. It's an antidepressant as well as a sleep aid. First time I took it I was really, really sleepy but then I got used to it. They tell depressed insomniacs to take it at night but it really leaves me with a hung-over feeling that lasts for 3-4 hours.

I don't like it; but it might work for her.

Just spoke with her...

She thinkin' HARD right now: about how things came to the crisis point, and where exactly she wants to go from here.

Her voice is focused and full of humor.

She's in the Pit, but she ain't kneelin'.

How can I not love her?

Oh I love it. It conks me out and the neurotin keeps me out. Waking up is a bit slow esp. if I took 2 Traz. But yeah, the first time? 3, 2, 1 ...

Thanks for these updates.

Thanks for keeping us updated Henry and Tril. She is stronger and smarter and nicer than she gives herself credit for, she'll be up and on top of this soon.

Usually. However, grabbing them by the stacking swivel also works.

I'm glad she is doing better.

Trilby - thanks for helping me & listening to my whining.

this.

Henry, I know she is really smart and probably wont need it, but there is a book by David Burns - Feeling Good, The New Mood Therapy - that helped me A LOT after I surfaced from my stress related breakdown (he also wrote a companion handbook, which actually meant more to me). He is one of the prime developers of Cognitive Therapy. I still use these books from time to time.

This.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I have a long road ahead re: retraining my brain as far as negative thoughts and beating myself up and...a lot of things. I am home as of yesterday and i am working on a few things while trying not to look at the mountain. I have no idea what will happen when i get back to work but i will be prepared for any of the options.

My family and friends (here and on here) have been very supportive and that means so much. Some don't understand it, i know, but that is ok too.

I got beautiful flowers from sarge and tril that really brighttened my room. I met some wonderful people and the staff was great.

Thanks henry for being a conduit, and for loving me for exactly who i am.

I probably won't post much for a while, but you're in my thoughts, my friends.

Good luck with figuring it all out. You know we're all in your corner. I'm glad you're taking a step back and focusing on you.

Glad to hear you're on the way back up m'dear. Be well.

Good stuff IM. Glad you're getting a better grip on the reins. Xxx

Good to hear from you, infi. Best wishes as you go forward with what is undoubtedly a new chapter in your life.

Welcome home. you've got an interesting journey ahead of you, one that is worth every bit of effort. The trip's worth it--*YOU'RE* worth it.

Remember how to eat an elephant; one bite at a time.
