Hi Cathy

Hi Sea they are having difficulty with the profiles .The moderator said it might be a day or so before the kinks are out.I have that same post since i started.I do go to my profile and do what i was told too.I go and click on pics from browser and then upload and close window but its not working yet.my pics are a jumble so it can't be still working.As far as posting pics in the body of message ,you can use html's anymore but go to where you have them stored and just click on the pic ,not the url it won't take it so just click on pic click copy and then write your post and click on paste.no more codes that you have to punch in the pic automatically should come up after you click paste.I have mine still stored at photo bucket .com .and the cute little pics i go to google and enter animated cartoos or animals it brings up different cartoons .paragraphs?

Just click on your space bar and enter then enter again it should paragragh for you.i have an appt i'll check back .Good to see you sea again lots of luv cathy.

oh i forgot make sure you copy your pic before you start your message because if you copy like me and come back your post isn't there anynore .I use to be able to go get pic and just click on the arrow on the right side of back and it would bring me back to my post but no more.So to save grief i get the pic first then i post then paste pic.I hope i wasn't confusing you later cathy.

Goodmorning I saw your dinosaur exploding and thought he was angry too!haha Glad to know it is just a summer cold. Hope he's better soon! Love your dino by the way and all the pics you all do! I am challenged enough just to get my posts on and make sure I don't miss letters when I'm typing. I am a disaster on my hubby's laptop so glad to be back at my ol computer at work! Have a great day! Many hugs and prayers!

Great post Lauri!!

Having been labeled as having bipolar disorder my whole life, I feel compelled to offer my help to those who truly need it. Most of my life I have been lost and in search of something but never knowing what-Until recently I discovered the search was for me and for inner peace. My life purpose is slowly coming into focus, as I feel the past and all events in my life have led me to the point in life where I know what this search has been about. Slowly unfolding as awareness has newly ripened in my heart and soul. To me I have a better understanding of who I am and what I am after in this life. Most of my life has been spent pondering many subjects and I have been writing poetry and novels, books since I was 10 years old and have recently been published. This was not my dream, as I never knew what my dreams and goals in life were, but as I have said, they are finally coming into focus. This dream is to help others that suffer from mental illness, and who have been abused physically and mentally who have suffered from incest and rape as I have. There is much that I have been through in my lifetime thus far most by the time I was 17. I have no regrets for any of it! What has been done is done, there is no questioning it. I feel what I have been subject to is the path that lead me to my purpose. Which is to teach and heal others that suffer in this lifetime, those who do not have the strenght or capacity or ability to get through life tradgedies on their own. I feel I was put on this earth and had to feel and see the pain of so much in order to be able to help those who truly need help. By no means am I in a mania phase nor a depressed one I am just realizing that life is life and it is beautiful it is a gift it is what it is. The lesson is we all have a purpose and once you learn your purpose in life, you are so truly blessed. Some do not ever learn theirs and this is quite unfortunate, and it saddens me. I am reaching out to all who need help. I do have a website that holds some of my work, the writing I do is therapy but also is to help others in depression as far as expressing themselves and their feelings to show that you are not alone in this world.... If you would like to see some of my work and biography etc. my website address is www.freewebs.com/lnally/
Very inspirational post. I love your way to peace with your situation and what has happened in your life. Great job on getting your book published! We have another member here who has her book published I Dare You To Survive! I will check out your website. Melissa a sister I met here on the boards also writes poetry as a way of expression of her trials through life also. As you can see the wonders of God's great gift that God gives us the gift of poetry to get out the hurt and pain we feel. I dabble in poetry but Smiles can do a poem at the drop of a hat. I am amazed at how creative she is! Glad to have you here! Hugs and prayers! God bless you and keep you peaceful and that buzzard depression away from your doorsteps!

Hi Sista 29!

Hope ya'll have a Great Day!

BBL ;-)

I remain, 4 Ever 29

Wishing you a wonderful day next to the air condition! As you see I figured out the mood thingy thanks to DP Donna! Thanks DP Donna! As I figured I am freezing in this room so will be glad for the heat when I take a break. I heard on the news they were giving senior citizens fans today they should have been giving them air conditioners! What is a fan when the heat is 105 - 120 in a house. I pray there will not be a lot of deaths in this heat wave. I feel so sorry for older people living alone and not able to buy some of the things they need to survive. This is one of those days I wish I had lots of money to just go around and give out air conditioners to people. Hugs and prayers!

Lauri 1967

I read your poem Wind and I too felt the same way you do and many times I wondered and ask Why Am I Still Here? I finally started praying to God to help me learn to see in me what He saw in me. I also prayed to learn to trust and believe in Him also. All these prayers helped me to see that God puts us all here to help each other. Lord knows we could all be so busy each and every day there is such a need for each and every one of us. So when we take the time to reach out and help someone else our problems become smaller on that day because we can get too busy to spend time thinking of our own problems. On any day no matter what we go through someone is going through something so much worse. It is the gift God showed me coming to this board. The cross I bear I thought was so heavy until I saw the weight of the cross of others. And also as my pastor says even when we are heavily laden with things how many blessings are we not giving honor to God. Things we let slip by without a Thank You to God each day. Our family..our health..that we see..we can walk..talk..speak..write poetry..think. On any given day something we are able to do is something another person wishes they were able to accomplish. So when we learn to focus on our HAVES and not our HAVE NOTS there is where we find that place of PEACE! I am glad you are there! Thanks for sharing your website. Hugs!

Lauri 1967

I'm thinking the 1967 has to do with how old you are. My oldest son is your age. I was reading your life story. I am sorry that happened to you. I wanted to share something with you as a SURVIVOR also of sexual abuse as a child from 3-5 from an uncle I loved dearly. I too felt the guilt because I protected him and enjoyed the act because he did not hurt me. Remember Lauri that when we are born we learn physical contact from the moment we come out with people touching our genital area when cleaning us constantly when you think how many times our diapers are changed. When we are cleaned it is a sanitary act but that is still constant stimulation so we learn to be sexual from day one. If you watch little boys you see how they show they are aroused we as little girls keep it well hidden. Anyway it is why we are prime targets when we are little to be sexually abused. We have had many loved ones touch us and there was nothing wrong  with it so what more do we know. I just wanted to help you with an understanding so you do not have to feel this guilt. Someone older especially adults know what they should and should not do. They are the ones that should feel the guilt this is why they want their secrets kept. So you stand tall with head held high as a SURVIVOR no longer letting a MOLESTOR continue to destroy your life. If you see someone on Bipolar board name Brenda. A wonderful Sister I met on this board that I need to write and say hello to as a matter of fact. She will be a wonderful person to get to know if she is still posting there. The boards is a great place to find the greatest support system you could ever find of the best of the best people. Hope you will get to meet her.

Hi Sista 29

Quote From: forever_29

Morning Sista Lidi

I thank GOD and the inventors every day for electricity and

Air-conditioners! I live in the Tri-States area (CA-AZ-NV)

and as of last week the # of deaths reached 20. The elderly

and homeless are in the majority from heat related deaths.

The saddest case for me was an old man in Phoenix who was

on a fixed income, didn’t turn on the air because he couldn’t

afford the increase in his electric bill. What is wrong with

this country of plenty who won’t even help our older citizens

in there time of need? I think we are one of the GREEDIEST

Nations in world. It’s down right pathetic!

Wishing you a cool and comfortable day! HUGZ

I remain, 4 Ever 29 ;-)

You are right about this nation. My mom can afford to turn on her air but she is so afraid of going broke from I guess living through the depression she still lives with a cloud of doom over her head. That's sad too because she is not letting her money make her happy. I don't want an inheritance I would rather she enjoy her life. I believe churches should open up and offer a place for the homeless and elderly to get out of the heat.  They are too busy trying to make money another sad state of events. But God bless the USA! What can we say! I am cool but very busy today with us been short staffed I'm earning my salary today!haha

Hi Hisjewel

Quote From: hisjewel

I hate to ever admit or say i am depressed or anything of well yeah anyway i just hate to think i could be depressed but well i know that even what we don't want to see is real...... i hate it and well i guess when you think i just want to disappear and that thought keeps going through your head over and over that should say hey you no matter how much you don't want to see it or admit it, the thing is still there.......... it makes me angry!!!!! It's not like i see anything wrong with others being depressed i mean it happens but grrrrrrrr yeah i'll shut up now LOL
Welcome to the message board. Depression makes me angry too because it steals my joy.  Whether we want to admit to it or not after we find we can't drag ourselves out of bed or think a positive thought we have to face we have a serious problem. I waited many years struggling with it thinking I could get on top of my situation but I couldn't and after getting tired of feeling suicidal and continuing to wake up feeling like that I thank God found this board and got a better understanding of depression. I take the herbal medicine and it is helping keep my mood stabilized. Whatever you can do to keep your serotin level up whether exercise if you can get yourself moving I can't when I'm depressed ..read every positive message you can for reinforcing the good images to your brain. Sighing and Smiles told me about the women's choice vitamin and B-12 to keep my mental and physical well being stable. Sometimes we have to look at what's going on in our lives that brought the buzzard depression to our door. We have to sometimes take a second look at some unsolved pain. Many hugs and prayers!
