I would say that would not be a totally inaccurate assessment.

And I would say that that assessment would not be totally unexpected.

I've always found that to be a better use of precious hormones anyway, Suz. ; )

Yes,that's exactly what I thought, I can't keep this up forever, when you said you had to BONE up on your poetry. I thought, brilliant, NOW what do I do??? So I made it worse.. sheesh. Now everybody shut up before this gets noticed.

I don't think you made it worse, I did, I should have been above this. I sort of got a flashback to when one of my three brothers would hit me in the back of the head for no reason. Let's just say that something other than civil negotiating would ensue.
Susan, as an aside, I want to thank you for trying to help. I really take it as a caring jesture. The cyclical nature of BP I may be too much for me here on PB. When I say something stupid IRL, I usually can smooth feathers, mend fences, grovel, apologize to fix things. Here, stupid stuff is etched in stone for anyone who wants to take offense to see. Maybe time for a break, I have the flu anyway. Luv you, Toph

No, it's not you, it's me who isn't supportive here, Toph. I mean, look what I said the first post on the thread, what a jerk I was. I said your best may not be the same as someone else's, and it sounds TERRIBLE, that sounds awful and it's not true because it's not your best, it's your FEELING about the best that's not the same as others. Why are you so HARD on yourself, and then I fell right into that hole with you, Toph, and you don't deserve it, you deserve to feel GOOD.

Not so, Shame. I wasn't sure what cackle meant so I looked it up, copied it in my response, made a lame self-depreciating joke about hens, and even added a wink to be sure you knew I was joking (I'm learning that this is a good practice here). But you can always confront someone here by asking them about their intentions.

I'm a little touchy too sometimes.

Ditto.Again, I'm sorry you mistook my intent.

You know what Susan, you said what you said because its the truth. It's based on what I've told you. I'm not the greatest husband, father, social worker, or friend. Like you, shrinks have always told me that I am too hard on myself. Sometimes I think they are just not listening to me.

Yeah, well, you're self-deprecating a lot, Toph. You're also smart, sensitive, and kind. So there. And tons of other good stuff I haven't even touched. Like, Supportive.

Being too hard on yourself is non-constructive. Try that for a mantra.

Slap my face. I sound like my last therapist. He tried that on me too. It doesn't work, does it?
