Oo Ken : wave: you have Bi Polar.. My friend is like you, she is very open and honest about it, and not at all ashamed. From what I remember it has only ever stopped her dating except for one man.. (who called her a nut job )
She takes some different medications to help control hers.. she also uses one of those S.A.D boxes.. not sure its actually meant for her.. but she swears by it. She swims A LOT too.
Hmmm yeah I think that might be a problem for me.. I don't mean if I was WITH someone and they became depressed.. (They MIGHT- with ME! ) that would be different IMO.
But I think if it was going into a new relationship with someone who suffered with a form of depression then yeah.. I'm not sure I would want to get involved.. I wouldn't be sure what I was getting myself into..
and IMO I have spent faaarrrrrrrrrrrr too many years walking on egg shells and bolstering people, and it's not really something I want to do any more.
Hi Jericho... Hmm I don't think I were like it if I had known that. I would feel a bit like I was 'next in line'.. or was the 'last on the list'. I wouldn't think you think you were perhaps being sincere, and that maybe I was just *NEXT*.
Thats right.. being able to truly forgive is a great feeling.. like someone took the cotton out of your head.. the weight off your shoulders and the needles out of your belly.
IMO no.. you were not at fool AT ALL... You did what any decent friend would do.. HE took advantage of that.. no only that, but he scared you too..
It wouldn't stop me letting a *wasted friend* stay over again.. but for me I think it WOULD make think twice about allowing in if I knew they 'liked' me. Soo I doubt I would.
You're 'Friend' has some serious apologising to do IMO.
When I travel to Vegas with my USA buddies... they usually gamble.. and I *Do* stuff...
I meet them for breakfast, then I go off and do whatever ever I have planned.. I leap on the buses, monorails,taxis and go off exploring.. I go for lunch on my own, exhibitions, shows etc. Sightseeing. (indoor sky diving haha).. helicopter flights (I do those every year- coz im sad like that haha)
And if they are gambling in the evening, I do the the same thing.. I go to bars on my own, sample the cocktails go watch a band.. Up the Paris tower.. or (as I usually do at night) spend most of the evening watching the water shows at the Bellagio, cramming frozen margaritas down my neck.
I talk to anyone and everyone.. so I never feel lonely, I've met and stayed in touch with some lovely people that way.
