In a Sea of Madness...

I feel like The Big Guy is testing me.

I feel like Job in this moment...I wouldn't be surprised if a plaque of locusts landed on my front lawn today.

My humour and music are my two bullets against the beast when it rears it's ugly head. Baby steps. We'll see this through. This forum is the right tonic for me now.
 
It would be simpler if we were more like an island, but unfortunately or not we are very social creatures. Other peoples influence on us is inevitable, and we will be swayed this way and that. I try to hang on to the rudder. :)
There is still hopefully = if time is not past = for people to become part of a new set apart body/community/ assembly. Not easy to find, cannot be paid to join, and the only way to be free from the death dealing society of the world.
 
I know I'm a newbie here on this forum. I'm not interested in drama or pity.

I've been dealt a difficult hand of late. My brother hung himself last December. My bipolar wife is currently staying in a mental ward. I have schizophrenia and in her mania she threw out my medication. I'm overdue for my needle. My daughters have an eating disorder.

The Big Guy is really testing me these days.

I know I've been a bit manic myself of late with my jokes and music on this forum. I'll settle down eventually.

You've all been patient and supportive and I won't forget that.

I wrote down this quote when I was fluidly psychotic...

"You are the most witty when you are at your wit's end."

Certainly the case for me these days.

No pity posts please. No more drama. Just keep on being the cool forum that I find this place to be. :)

I love your comment about wit. Very apt for many of us.
 
These are some of my coping mechanisms. When possible, offer warmth, compassion, laughter. Be kind. Share positive energy. We are all under construction. That said, turning one’s home into a

peaceful sanctuary/oasis helps offset the craziness elsewhere. My luxurious balcony garden is holistic medicine. As is my pale orange parking lot mystery cat,

Sassafras, also an avid gardener. He is trying to forge a lethal relationship with my lady hummingbird, Thunderheart. Not going to happen! Lol. Avoid toxic

people whenever possible. Also, for those of us who are Empaths, often pummelled by the intensity of other’s energy, recharging is essential, or we become overwhelmed and shut down. ♥️🤗

I think we often don’t realise how powerful positive energy can be. Friend, family, chance encounter with a stranger. We can have our lives touched in meaningful and

unexpected ways by any of these, I have been surprised by joy more than once. Thank

you to all those who have lifted me up. I shall pay it forward as I can. There is a chain of hands connecting us one by one by one. How beautiful is that? ♥️♥️
 
My wife went missing 2 days ago in a manic state. I called the police and described her attire...told them she was wearing a Bee Gees t-shirt. (my favorite shirt).

They found her safe at her mother's place 6 hours later thank gawd. She's now in the right place...the psychiatric hospital.

 
I just spoke to my wife on the phone yesterday. She phoned me from the psychiatric ward community phone.

When I answered I said, "Would you like to share a drink with me?"

She said, "What does that mean?"

I said those were the very first words you said to me 32 years ago when we first met.

 
When I pick up my sweetheart from the hospital and drive her home when they are ready to release her...I'll say...

"Take my hand, cause we're walking out of here."

 
There have been some unusual posts on the site recently. I say that, but I'm fairly new so I don't know what is actually typical. Seemingly HollyDolly reported a new member post this AM, and I haven't seen it circulating since that time. I think I looked later, and the post had been deleted. For that reason, it can be hard for a fairly new person to know what or who to take seriously or not at the forum. Hopefully sorting what is typical or not gets easier as time goes on.

Okay.

Time to take a break from the diary. But I keep expecting a DC-10 Airplane to crash into my house any time soon.

It would be a fitting ending. lol!
 
That maybe true, but as someone new I am just getting to know people as I go.
Same thing I use to do in real life. I don't get out much and know I have met a whole bunch of people that have added so much to my daily life.
