Hi Webhead, My kids don’t call me webhead anymore, guess they heard about you…they’ve taken to callin’ me The Great Cyberweenie instead. I suppose I do resemble that statement <g>. Tristana posted a beautiful poem in this NG recently with the subject "I will support you" that you may want to take a look at. I think it expresses a lot of the problems we face when we offer our support (tough or otherwise) to someone. I wish I could offer you practical advice, but the only really important thing I can tell you is that you need to be careful…if you give yourself away, you won’t have anything to give anyone. It sounds like you’ve already got that covered, though. I’ll seek some divine intervention for both you and your SO. Blessings, Neil Dumont webhead said:

tired of the dance touch the fire burning both ways intensity propensity passion play eyes packed with life flying free laughter hugs me faithless eyes saturated void I try not to look at the circles gracefully mowed going nowhere bad crop flip side unquiet mind tainted seed prayer for peace vow denied electricity surge dribble out hope aspire smile touch rage haze daze despair deny waves of light unseen cramping depths scream hate

Hi Lynda… Yes. I write as often as I can. I’m glad I found the group – this forum has actually explained so much to me from the point of the BP/depressive… …and, how scary it must be. Right now, I am trying to understand what has been going on in my life with my girlfriend of 7 years. So far, she has refused responsibility for helping herself and, although I believe she suffers from BP – she’s not been officially diagnosed. This conclusion was reached after I spoke with a mutual friend of ours who is a mental health professional who works with a wide variety of patients. She gave me a lot of insight and pointed me in the direction I am now in. The biggest hurdle I am facing now is that my SO is against medication of any type and, against seeking proper treatment. Currently, she’s in a manic phase and is casting responsibility – I should say BLAME – on me for her own behavior. I should also tell you that she is an RN… …ahhh… …the mystery deepens. I’m trying the "tough love" stuff on her now. She moved backed to her parents home a few weeks ago and I don’t intend to allow her to waltz back into my life without intervention and acknowledgement. I must admit though that I am afraid of sending her off the edge. Any advice? webhead
