What absolute horror. I can’t even imagine your pain, and I’m so sorry.

I urge all of you to look at the list of victims and weigh them against posts made here. Draw your own conclusions from the facts.

Wherever the truth lies, our often divided forum proved we can put the crap aside when it matters, and that’s a good thing. Compassion is a virtue.

My doctor raised the Abilify up to 10mg, and I was a way over-medicated zombie. My psychiatrist reduced it as well as the Klonopin (which is good; I asked him to), but many, I didn’t factor in the withdrawal and readjustment. I go in for more full-on psychological testing on Monday, a couple of hours worth. I hope some good comes of it.

Work is fucking unbearable; I’ve almost gone home sick several times, and I can’t just stop working. Something needs to be done about this FAST. I’m frightened.

Sorry, man. I’m sure it’s hard for you. My wife lost her father a few years ago and it’s hard for her too.

Remember Warbler, everyone must die. But you and I believe that we will all live again. Let that give you peace. Hope you find some of that peace this Father’s Day.

Yeah Warb. I try to block out junk mail and spam on my internets but I have to maintain the work Facebook page so I just got bombarded with cynical demands that I treat my father to all manner of pointless crap that he would have binned without a thought.
Even after 25 years it’s still quite raw to have to reminded over and over.
But I chat with him him in that ivory dome under my crazy hair and it’s okay.
A bit echoey but generally speaking as good a forum as any for a conversation.

Yeah%2C all the ads and such served as a constant reminder. I suppose as the years go on I will get used to it. But it is going to take a long while for me to get over my father%27s death. Maybe some think it shouldn%27t take all that long. But for me%2C it will. This is my father and we are talking about someone I knew from birth and for over 40 years afterwards. It is going to take longer than 8 months. For one I thing I wasn%27t exactly prepared. I knew someday I would lose him and the day wasn%27t far off. I knew he didn%27t have too many years left. But I thought he%27d have some. I knew he was very sick from the fall and might never fully recover. But he was getting somewhat better. So%2C it was quite a shock when the phone rang we were told that he had gone into cardiac arrest and we rushed to the hospital that was next to the rehab place he was staying and he died that night. I%27ll always regret not coming to see him that last day. I was going to come the next day. Going into rehab places and hospitals and not a comfortable experience for me and it had been very difficult to see my father suffering and not being able to do anything about it. It was difficult to see him so confused and disoriented%28at one point%2C he couldn%27t tell his wife from his son%29. So I decided to miss a day of going in. My mom still went in that day%2C so I knew he would have had company. I had no idea that would be his last day. If I had any idea%2C I would have been there. I%27d give anything to have one more day or hour or minute with him. I know that he is in heaven know and I will see him again someday%2C but it is still very difficult. I so miss the everyday ordinary conversations with him. Sorry for going on like this. I%27ll stop here.

No worries Warb. We carry them all in time. Like tree rings. All those generations inside us holding us upright in the storm.

I think I am starting to hate Father Day.

I’m sorry, Warbler. I wish I could offer some condolences that didn’t sound empty and hollow. I’m so sorry for your pain. Don’t apologize. Take comfort in what you can and as much time as you need to heal, in as much as you can.

Just thought I’d take the time to quick post about just why my projects have all been so slow…I’ve had to deal with depression, anxiety, and now recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder for many years. I had left it so unchecked for so long, it was really wearing on me. It had gotten to the point I stopped doing much of any of my hobbies having lost motivation and struggling with panic and rapid mood swings.

Since the end of April, I’ve been in constant treatment and getting my life back around. I’ve had some serious suicide attempts, one of which landed me in the ICU.

I’m finally taking charge of my life for the better.

And also I’m now a transgender female, of which my family hates being the transphobics they are…so really feelin’ the love there. SIGH… So there’s much business and craziness in my personal life.
