You still around?
I'm not sure...
Maybe we have just been missing each others posts...
Or maybe you have been a bit quieter than usual.
Maybe I have been a bit quiter too...
I don't know.Anyways.
Just wanted to know that I haven't forgotten about you.
I hope you are doing alright.
Give Sarah a big hug from me.
And have one yourself
(((Damos)))
You are very special to me you know :-)

Alexandra_k you are just the most beautiful and precious person and I am so very lucky to have a friend like you. Just wish you'd quit making me cry in public places though - it's really embarrassing, but this post was just what I needed right now - thank you so much.
I haven't been meaning not to post, just been circling the plug hole for a couple of weeks now and really badly the last few days and didn't want to drag anyone else down with me, and didn't trust myself to post anything either. Have been trying today (badly), but still not to all the people on all the things I'd like to.
There's been lots of mental and emotional stuff and weird physical stuff going on but I'll be okay, I have to be.
I'll be sure to give diggaletta her hug when I get home she'll be very happy about that. and the biggest imaginable hugs right back atya.
((((((((((Alexandra_k))))))))))My world is a so much better place because you're in it. Thank you =0)

Aw, I'm sorry for making you cry. You make me cry too, you know. I was wondering whether something was up - so it is good to hear from you :-)
I'm sorry you are having a bit of a hard time at the mo. I'm sorta having one myself. But don't you dare withdraw because of it - you hear? That is the time to reach out and take some of that support back. The support you give to others so freely. Really. Everyone here has their ups and downs and sometimes people just need to soak up other peoples care for a while till they are back on track.
And it isn't about dragging other people down with you either. Some people manage to get there all by themselves you know ;-) And when I am in a good mood I don't mind other people being depressing - because I'm not feeling so bad and maybe I can help them feel better.

You take care.
Don't you dare become a stranger.

Everyone here has their ups and downs and sometimes people just need to soak up other peoples care for a while till they are back on track.Yeah I'm kinda worried that my symptoms are way more volatile post the Efexor XR than they were before.

I know what you mean though I've just been sooooo negative though and everything has been coming out with the wrong spin on it, and everyone here means to much to me to go carelessly causing offence.

Ah. No, that was a strong distaste for people embarrassing me or teasing me too much. Its ok.
>HOpe i didn't offend either of you.
Na. You didn't.
You ready to spill the beans yet?
How did your Babblemail work out???
Don't make us go ask Dr Bob who you Babblemailed on that particular day ;-)

:-)
I hope you have good crys. Sometimes I have a good one and feel a lot better after. Sometimes I don't seem to feel much better after. The first kind are the good ones. I have lots of experience with crying. Mostly with the latter sort unfortunately :-( I think it is only the first sort that is really good for you though. Though... Better out than in I suppose..
> Yeah I'm kinda worried that my symptoms are way more volatile post the Efexor XR than they were before.Hmm. Thats worth more thought. Maybe it isn't the right medication for you. I am gutted about effexor at the mo. Absolutely gutted. I now HAVE to take the bloody thing because I feel really nauseous if I miss so much as a single dose. That doesn't fit in with my common practice of taking it just when I feel bad, and forgetting about it when I feel good. It does not fit in well at all ;-)
>But I kinda suspect all the admissions and openness have more than a little to do with it too.
Ah. Triggering. Have you been ruminating? Feeling bad? Feeling trapped maybe?
(((Damos)))
You take care of you right now, okay?
I have been feeling a little triggered myself.
Maybe it has been the sharing.
Not too sure what in particular.
I think I need to be mad at p-doc rather than my father at the mo.
Yup.
Maybe that is it.>I know what you mean though I've just been sooooo negative though and everything has been coming out with the wrong spin on it, and everyone here means to much to me to go carelessly causing offence.
I wouldn't have thought you were capable of carelessly causing offence. Seriously though. People have gotten to know you pretty well on the boards now. Even if they did feel offended by something I figure people would assume the best of you and give you the chance to clarify before they felt too offended or upset.
Really.
It is good to recieve as well as to give sometimes...
We don't just love ya 'cause you are so giving you know.
You are allowed to be sad and bad and pissed or whatever you need to be. Really. I'm sure we can handle it and won't think any the worse of you. Besides which, I really don't think that you would cause offense via carelessness. Sometimes people can be harder to offend than you might think..
> You do and you have :-)And you have helped me feel better too :-)
> Yeh I'll try and post something 2morrow flat out like a lizard drinking at the moment.Heh heh Aussie sayings are so cute. (I never thought so before, but they seem cute when you say them).
<Just got a new project that was well on the way to h*ll before it landed on my desk, and on top of that as of yesterday I am acting manager of the program office for 2 months. Just what I need right now - more responsibility for other things and other people AARRRRRRRHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Hmm. 'Acting manager'. Sounds like a pay rise is in order ;-)
Yuk. I hate work at the mo.
I have a lot of sympathy.

> I hope you have good crys. Sometimes I have a good one and feel a lot better after. Sometimes I don't seem to feel much better after.Hmmmmmmmmm, I think so far most they've been mostly the good kind - do far. I'm sorry you have lots of experience with the other that makes me sad, cuase life should'nt be like that. Damn it all there's that 'S' word again.
> Hmm. Thats worth more thought. Maybe it isn't the right medication for you. I am gutted about effexor at the mo. Absolutely gutted. I now HAVE to take the bloody thing because I feel really nauseous if I miss so much as a single dose. That doesn't fit in with my common practice of taking it just when I feel bad, and forgetting about it when I feel good. It does not fit in well at all ;-)It's odd it was great while I was on it, withdrawal sucked big time and it's what 90+ days without it and I've been all over place in that time and just lately swinging wildly which never really happened before. Usually it was a relatively slow slide to the bottom unless something triggered me off really badly. But lately it's like I can get out of bed or even just up from my desk and fall off the edge of the world. I've even had the odd what I'm now referring to as 'Steve Irwin' states which are not part of my previous experience. And this is all a bit of a concern and I'm not enjoying the emotional rubberball thing at all.
> Ah. Triggering. Have you been ruminating? Feeling bad? Feeling trapped maybe?
Ruminating, hmmm, I actually suspect I may have the digestive tract of a cow. Bad yes, trapped yes. Bugga ay.
> I think I need to be mad at p-doc rather than my father at the mo.
Ah yes I see why now. I have a thought, when I come to visit I'll hold him while you flail away for all you're worth, whadayathink?
> I wouldn't have thought you were capable of carelessly causing offence.
You're probably right when I do there's usually no doubt that I meant it :-)
> And you have helped me feel better too :-)
I'm glad
> Heh heh Aussie sayings are so cute. (I never thought so before, but they seem cute when you say them).Oh you say the nicest things :-)
> Hmm. 'Acting manager'. Sounds like a pay rise is in order ;-)
I wish!
> Yuk. I hate work at the mo.
> I have a lot of sympathy.Thanks
Puppy loved her hugs and sent you a full body wag and a sloppy dog kiss
Lots a love Alex
((((((Alex))))))

I don't know who you were going to Babblemail 'cause you wouldn't tell me...
Maybe you were kidding...
You said you were going to Babblemail someone about cybersex ;-)
I was just trying to find out who the lucky guy was ;-)

Yup. I'm sorry.
I think it is because you guys have both started Babbling to be around the same time. And then the A thing.I was a little confused between Sunny and 10 at the start too. Cause I got to know them round the same time as well.
But I really am sorry.
I'll get it sussed from now on.
I promise.

Phew.
I'm glad I didn't offend you.
I really did feel pretty bad about that.
Maybe other peoples get us all confused.
A, A, A,
There are so many people here...
A couple of months ago I wondered how many people I really feel that I have gotten to know on the boards.
I spouted off about 30 names from memory.
I couldn't believe how many names were clear and distinct 'people'.
And there are more now.
A lot more.
But sometimes peoples stories get confused.
And I don't know yours.But I'm sure I'll get to know you better.

i'm happy to be just another 'A' name for now. It takes me awhile to get to know people. Besides i already know my story, i don't know everyone elses. Theirs are infinitely more interesting. There is a variable out there that draws certain posters to repond to other posters...you, damos, 10derheart, alesta, jyl, etc...you all are infinitely interesting individuals. Even more importantly you are all nice.
