MOONRISING I DID NOT MEAN TO MAKE YOU THINK THAT I NEEDED A BODY GUARD BECAUSE OF THE BIPOLAR BOARD .I t was not directed towards that certain board .Did you read the post that i did respond to from beachsmile before this post i had written ?Obiviously not we were all joking around on the depression board (well not all were joking)God forbid if someone else takes this offensively.As far as me saying getting back to normalicy,i meant the way we were before the boards shut down.You have to understand something its not just Bipolars that struggle to with the drpression and not all can take a joke when it is put out there.We almost have a family on these boards beside our own and we all have our share of problems not just the bipolars.I see no need to single me out because we are not here to attack people just the sickness.I realize that bipolars are sensitive so are we.And i did appologize a few times .If you don't like the way we joke around on the d/p board well there is nothing i can do about that.I don't need to post over there i just do because of family having this sickness and i did welcome people to your boards also.I will not bother to post again .If you feel threatened well don't because i will stay where they understand my talk and problems as well.take care and may god bless us all .cathy
 I dont know how you cannot see it.  Here above is a post from AUSSTORM, or moonrising i forget and it was kind and explanatory, and she reallywent out of her way to try and make you understand... and you have to go and get all defensive with HER TOO.  I DO think you belong on another board where they understand you, because NOT ONE of us does.  Several people have tried to clarify things for you and you always come back railing aginst their words. 

You have no need to respond, because i am not going to come back here to see if you have, because  there is always something abtrasive that is upsetting and i prefer to be in a kind and loving environment.

It would really help you if you analyzed your OWN words instead of focusing everyone else.

enough already, i dont een think your words justify a post at all.

Hello. Yes I had to change my user name but I'm doing fine. I had a couple really rough months again with med problems but things seem to be back on track. BUT...I can't handle this board. The quote boxes make everything look so confusing so I'm not going to post again.

Take Care!

SO SORRY YOU ARE HAVING A HARD TIME TO GET USE TO THE BOARDS .I KNOW THEY CAN BE A PAIN IN THE ASS .HOPE YOU KEEP POSTING THOUGH BECAUSE YOU ARE MISSED .TAKE CARE.CATHY

Angel

Quote From: angel1002

I agree! She has so much talent in her hands it is unbelievable. I really wish I could bring paints and paper to life like she does.

Do you like Nene Thomas too?

Yes I do actually. She's just as good, they're very similar also. I found her web site this morning, never thought to look for one until you mentioned her. I have a figurine that I think came from her. I'm new to this particular board but it seems like there's a few people that like to fight, or am I wrong? This place is kinda confusing with the "quote" box but I'll adjust. I wish I could decorate my whole house in beautiful art, it's so calming. Well thanks for sharing....

To Angel and Heather

No most of us here have never fought with each other until words were said that offended one person and the rest of us came to her defense.  Please do not let what has happened here (right before the both of you started posting) to sway you from feeling safe to post here. Most of the oldies who had formed a family on this board won't be back. Myself included.

I just wanted to let you both know that when you came here I reached out to support you and still can if you need anything but would prefer an email instead. mommaoof2@yahoo.com

 

I have always been here to offer support to those in need. I do not have a mental illness of any kind (had post partum depression in 2002) but my daughter does have multiple illnesses, so I have researched just about everything and feel I am a good support person when not under any kind of attack.

 

That is why I have made a choice to stay away because I can no longer be productive to those in need of support, guidance, or information on this board.

I wish you both the best of luck and please contact me if you need to.

 

Best wishes, Tammy

Anyways if it doesn't work here is the website so you can look, www.myfairies.net

Why are you all leaving?

I know I am a newbie to the board, However......STOP IT ALL OF YOU, we need each other for so many reasons, support, experience, sounding boards, sharing things that work as well as things that don't. How are we ever going to convince Dr Phil to have a show to educate the public if we can't communicate maturly and with respect. Those of us with BP know that DP is part of our lives, however, persons with DP, DO NOT share the same symptoms as us. The rapide cycling, severe HIGHS...LOWS, the total loss of who we WERE. Please DON'T GO.....If someone offends you, it is your right to let them know, if you chose...just take the higher road and do it politly and with respect. Please come back...I need you All, God Bless, Lorrie

hey i am sorry what you say is so very true but how can somebody stay somewhere while they are getting hurt, i am trying to move away from abusive situations. i have always tried to take the high road and tell myself other a intitled to there opinions, i can usually take it when i am hurt as i have gotten used to it and but up pretty good barries (my pysch calls then brick walls that need to be demolished) but when people hurt my friend i hurt deeply i wish things could go back to how they once were but somany of my friends have left but i have grown close to them so i have messengers and emails,

 i agree on the drphil thing you were saying so much so i have started a letter and many both past and present members of this board have contributed. if you wish to add your story  aswell it would be apprciated. the details are towards the beinging of the board around july 22 9pm if you want to go back and read it or  email me at mwebstar@hotmail.com  for more info. as i won't be back much more

cheers Storm

It is kind of complicated before you get the hang of it. Once you do it the first time it is like riding a bike. You don't forget!

 

But it did take me awhile to figure it out. Alot of that is because I am the type that has to exhaust all possibilities on my own before I ask for help.

 

The easiest way though is to store your pictures in your My Pictures folder in your My Documents File.

Then when you hit the icon on the far end to put your pictures in.

Then you just click browse and find the My Pictures folder and look for the picture you want to use.   Once you find it click it, then click the open button.

Now you want to put a name where it says title and hit the upload button.

Then it should pull the picture up where you can see it in a folder just for your pictures for the boards, then click on the one you want to show and it places it in the message for you.

 

That is the easy way. If it dosen't work let me know and if you have figured it out already YEA!! I hope this helped you out with your pictures. Angel
