The Support and Encouragement Thread

@Vanilla.

Yup. I don't think the people that post in here legitimately, (not the nay sayers and haters...cough) would ever do anything or say anything harmful to the members seeking support. I just get upset when I see someone say how members are like family and there is always someone to say "Dude you don't know these people why should you care?" Care? Why would they, they only spend countless hours a day here with us.

It was so close to me overdosing and then MB would be in disarray. I knew I needed help, I didn't want it to end up affecting my work. It was getting close. Sorry to hear Karen went through it too, obviously not addiction but having issues with her medication. Do you give her all her medication now? Does she ever wish to, you know, move on?

Thanks hun you such a sweetheart.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by the bolded bit honey. As for her meds, yes I give them all to her. She still forgets, so I have to do odd things, like have her toy cat dance with her toy wolf (no Batty it is NOT a euphemism!), or Kermit sing her a song. Last night I had to dance around with a Patrick's Day hat on telling her she had taken her tablets. Silly, but if I don't do it she forgets and then rings me in the small hours to check did she get her sleeping tablets... the things ya have to do.

I assume he's bewildered by parts of your post, as am I. Care to expound a bit?

Does your sister ever want to end her life?

No, I'm pretty sure I got it. I'm just wondering what kind of... eccentric, you'd have to be, to think of doing a jig wearing a Leprechaun hat as a memory aid.

What parts are you unclear on?

Absolutely not.I thought maybe she meant that but was not sure. I'm kind of surprised the question was asked. Karen is a very well-adjusted person considering what she's suffering through (and that she has me to put up with also!)

You're lookin' at him. Anything, as long as it stops her calling me at 4am!
Basically, she needs something to stick in her mind, so sometimes I have her stuffed animals do a musical number from .... you know what, just forget it ok?

Perhaps next time you can have an aborted fetus in a jar do showtunes? I'm sure that would be memorable.
