(((((((((((((((Scott)))))))))))))))
You ARE an incredible man. i admire you and care a great deal about you, even though it seems i "don't know you". i have that in quotes because i always read your posts and i feel a connection with you. Understand. I delt with rapid cycling and it was SOOO painful for me, i couldn't take it. lucky for me it was the medication they first put me on that caused it. I also shared your experience with babble. my first time was on the meds board, i lurked for a while before i finally posted and when i did i gave as little info as possible. infact i've only recently began to post deep personal information and feelings-i thank the community of babble for that.
however there are times that i can't seem to come read here let alone post because of how it makes me feel.Please know that reading your posts have MANY times put a smile on my face when noone IRL could. Know you gave me the giddyness of sharing 'log' with someone :) and the inspiration of even if you couldn't care for yourself you held ever so tightly onto that AMAZING love you have for your children and ALWAYS putting their needs ahead of yours or anyone elses'.
This is a tough battle (and this truly is a lifetime battle) but you have many people here that love you and ONLY want the best for you. Be proud of yourself for recognizing it may be best to "check in". Not only recognizing it but acting on it.
AND FYI! Mr. Scott from Vermont, people here worry and care about you because of the person you are. Nothing is going to stop that. and don't you DARE feel guilty or sad about that! When someone worries about another person, that means they are blessed with the ability to give love...what greater gift in life is there? What is life without giving love?
This is NOT of your doing. this is a choice each of us has made, willingly and lovingly. We ache to give love and if we're lucky enough to find someone as good and kind as you, wow...that's incredible and is a gift, not just to you but for us as well.I honestly am very glad to hear you say this (NOT that you're leaving) but that you are doing what you think is BEST for YOU! i can only hope i have this strength when i need it.
You WILL be VERY missed. and you will be SOOOOO welcomed when(if?) you decide to come back -and i DO hope you will come back-if only to say HI.please take care of yourself, and be well. I wish you nothing but health and happiness.
i don't believe in saying goodbye, so... i will see you soon.with very much love.
