Maybe that is accurate, I'll talk it over with my therapist. I come and go here like the wind these days and I'm not saying that I am as pleasant as I used to be. All of these meds, what to do?
This place has changed a lot but everything changes over time. For all I know, Dr Bob is having a blast seeing how the board runs now versus block time.
But one thing is for sure, this place lost 95% of the best people back then. I wouldn't be fighting these battles, I wouldn't get a word in edgewise. People would not take any bs and were very vocal about it. Till they were blocked for 6 months.
As far as my hot button, the deathometer? Should have just not read it. My mistake. Should not have reacted in anger and disgust. Should have found a new person who had a question that I actually knew the answer to. I just don't have many answers these days. I'm doing my best to stay between the lines myself and anger is my enemy. People are people and learning to deal with them, no matter how wrong I think they are is what I am still learning.
I've told friends that were angry at someone not to lose their temper because you will lose the battle. They said. what? Nevermind.
I definitely don't won't to lower myself to the behavior of two people wanting to be prez for the next four years but especially Mitt and his son who said he wanted to clock a sitting president.
Nope, I'm on high ground compared to them but there's always room for improvement.

I don't think Dr. Bob is "around" anymore, if you take my meaning...

Pretty sure the last few days have been irritable hypomanic ones. I've written dozens of posts then deleted them plus other weird behavior. Got four hours of sleep last night and can barely function today.
About the consumed with self-pity comment? Thought about that a lot and realized that although people have known I get depressed I can't remember anyone in my life characterizing me as consumed with self pity. The people closest to me have said the exact opposite. But who knows who knows?
The deathometer? Whatever, it's here, maybe accurate. I'd go for FDA approval and open a website if I were Lou. I would quickly expand to the chemo / cancer market, lots of dollars there.
So, I ain't hurting nobody, ain't nobody hurting me.

Phil I wasn't sure at times if you were serious or not. Are you more stable now? Phillipa

OK, I'm still really unhappy with this poster who said the #1 absolute worst thing you can say to someone esp when they have mental illness. You're wallowing in self-pity. If someone said that to my face I'd kick their as.s. or die trying. Those are the only words that can make me this mad.
They provoked me with a video, baited me, and it shows me that I can be on a forum for almost a decade supporting people and still have some idiot attack me.
I doubt that I can stay here. This is twice this has happened but this poster made a big mistake. If I stay I'll probably be hyperfocused on making this bottom feeders life hell. And I just don't want to live like that.
Not the answer you wanted but if I'm truly honest with myself, it is exactly how I feel. And Phillipa, you would feel the same way.

Phil I don't want to see you leave. I get or have in the past gotten comments that have hurt. But I keep staying here. Mainly to try to help others, and also learn some things. I try to ignore a lot of the negative stuff. Sometimes it doesn't work though. I'd be sorry to see you leave. As for said poster. Fight back. Phillipa

I really don't want to leave and if I was doing better this may not bother me. But coming here has made hypomania worse. It's best for all involved.
I posted a few pics on social.
later

Yup, Messenger. We had two tempo's, fast and faster. Reading glasses but I already need stronger lenses, :)
