Why wear a ribbon?

MDJunction to me

"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here." (carmen33)

 I did a happy little jig around my house today. Here's why:

I got the closure I needed in the form of an email from "him" (I can't even bear to speak his name) this morning. My response (which is the LAST time he'll hear from me - I replied for ME, not for HIM) came straight from the hip - and when I was done typing and read what I had written, I laughed so hard that I almost peed. I guess my pulse is getting stronger because I really let the shit fly. I unloaded & told him EXACTLY what I thought. AND BOY, DID IT FEEL GREAT!!

If you want to laugh, you can read the unedited (WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE!!!) copy of my reply in my diary.

I think I'm going to be just fine.

 You are now officially in the club for those of us who have walked this walk and come out on the other side, laughing our ass off...glad you got this far...and it only gets better from here. I promise...your sense of humor is your strongest defense against a$$holes, Pr!cks, Idiots, deceptive people who eventually get caught...laughing at their apologies is nectar for the spirit. Sooooo sorry I screwed up...they wail....I didn't know what I was doing...(yeah right)....laugh sure they know...the only problem is they got caught...and have not a fiber of decency in their being...

A STANDING OVATION...I am standing and applauding you, Kimmie...they don't have a standing ovation button on here...so you will have to use your imagination.

 Kimmie - (Love your current picture, you look happy and healthy.) Way to vent, my woman! I am glad that you are "getting it out" - I'm curious to look at your diary now. I know you have communication talent, so whatever your diary says - it's going to have impact! I don't think I'd want to be on the receiving end of this diary message, but I trust that he'll get the message ... good work, hun.

 Kimmie! I am imagining Jack Nicholson (from One flew over the cookoo nest???) "I'M BAAAACCCCK!" Yeah! I am happy you are feeling better, and I know it will continue!
Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
The leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

hey kimmie, glad you got all that off your chest. it's nasty but i suppose he deserves nasty. i really hope that's as much time as you're going to put that much negative thinking into this schmoozle (that's canadian for big f@#king mess). it'll eat, eat, eat you up.

i don't need to say this i'm sure. you've it going on.

I would be everything.
If I could think of anything in the world,
I would think of future failures.
If I could touch anything in the world,
I would cradle my infant self.
If I could dream of anything in the world,
I would dream my dreams real.
Now that I am something and I’ve thought, touched, and dreamed,
I will let it all go
