Hi

[BarbTherese]

Ain't it great to have Phatmass up and running again with The Boss in the driver's seat !  I went into real withdrawals with anxiety through the roof -and gave myself a bipolar episode.... but........ nowadays I control the beast, it don't control me.  But until it passes, I am taking things real easy and confining myself to Foxtel programs watching programs about serial killers (Criminal Minds), Everybody Loves Raymond, Seinfeld and Becker.  A documentary or two. Always the 5 o'clock News.  Oh bipolar is such great fun   In company,I stutter, loose track of my subject, thoughts keep bumping into each other, long silences where my mind is just blank and I sit in company having stopped mid sentence with nothing whatsoever but blankness in my mind - a few seconds or so later "What was I talking about?".  But no voice(s)...none whatsoever and a very good sign- I haven't heard their unwanted opinions for many years now.  I am not opening emails or even reading Phatmass until bipolar gives up the battle with a white flag.  But I wanted to duck in for one sec to say Hi and I saw this thread.  I am fit and well, I just can't in honesty say that I am sane.  But I feel tremendous Peace.  Go figure! I have given up trying.  Most unusual in my brand of bipolar when anxiety keeps going through the roof.  This is a first.   Deo Gratius. Laudate Dominum.

I am so happy to have Phatmass back.  To celebrate, last night I did something that is very rare.  I ordered in Dominos and had Southern Fried Chicken, Garlic Bread, Chocolate Thickshake...and a bottle of Solo.  After that, I made coffee and sat out under the pergola on a beautiful night having a smoke........or two...........perhaps it was three....or so.  Can't remember!   In thanking God, I like to give thanks spiritually and quite humanly to celebrate in thankfulness and gratitude, Joy, He who became fully human for our sake.

A true blue Catholic girlfriend said to me years ago: "You would find something spiritual in Lady Chatterley's Lover! So I read the book.  Next cuppa with her, I was so excited because I had indeed found spiritual stuff in LCL.  "Oh gosh, Barb, I can understand you but no one else ever will"

Thanks dUSt, thank you very much.  I mean, Boss, what else can one say knowing it doesn't say it all.  God bless you and yours richly.  I did not miss Phatmass so much, as I realised just how very much I need it.

Thanks guys!  Good to be back!

Do you think this would also work on certain people?

Gee, thanks Boss.  I worried myself sick about you then tripped myself over into a bipolar episode........in the midst of lousy withdrawals from Phatmass.

Hail oh Fearless Leader! - great to have you around the joint again.

Regards..........Barb
