Your Chance...

Hello my friends. I have spent a good deal of time here reading your posts, offering my take on things and trying to help to let you know that there is no 'alone' here.

As in the physical world, I have spoken with all of you very little about myself.

I offer you all the opportunity to pick my brain, to get my reaction and to see that we are all fantastic people, with so much to share. There may well be a gift in our illnesses.

I have spoken with all of you very little about myself.

You know if you ever need to talk we are hear for you. Ears wide open and listening. It can be therapeautic to receive as well as give support and encouragement.

You're right Stephen..."we are all fantastic people with so much to share"
This "bp thing" is hard to discuss in "the physical world" I look forward to the day God can use this disease in me to minister to others (in the physical world)

Why don't you share one thing about yourself that would be hard to share in the physical world ???

Thank you's for your responses to such an odd post. ( I spent more than a decade being a stay-at-home drunk and drug user, so getting back in touch with all of you folks in public, is sometimes a daunting task for me.)

'Drunk', may not be the preferred nomenclature, but, I tend to be honest. Am I crazy? Well, if I know that I'm a bit crazy, in the scheme of things, then I must not be insane.

I don't know that there is anything that I consider to be difficult to discuss in public. ( I must consider that being polite and gentile, will reach a greater scope of people, but that is a matter of tact.)

People who do not suffer from Bipolar or another form of mental illness, do not readily or easily understand or accept the situation that we face every morning when we step out of bed.

My big truth, would be that this fact bothers me a bit more than some. (Explaining my situation gets really old, really fast.)

I was designed to teach and to share. Unfortunately, the population, don't want my information.

Something that I do not say in public, but is something that scares me and makes me sad. I am afraid that I will die alone. I could drink another five years and do myself in, but I like the possibilities and I've decided that I don't want to die.

You are very honest fellow and I apprectiate that. Thank you for sharing a bit of yourself. I think if you were designed to teach and share then that is who God made you and eventually you will find a way to do it. In the meantime I look forward to more of your insightful posts.

Thanks for sharing so honestly Stephan. Your insight is so (going to check Thesaurus to get appropriate word)...I found a few words...
discerning/matured/contemplative/and most of all HONEST!

I work in the Health Care System and am saddened by the fact this disease is not accepted or understood. We are to be there to help those who are sick. This is where I believe the Lord can use me...to show love and understanding to those who suffer as we do.

Thank you all. You've made it less difficult for me to be alone.

I really like the CF! It's become a second home to me and you are my friends!
