I came down too hard on you today, about drugs, I meant well, but I feel my posts were too harsh.

Lynn, I hope that Kristy will be understanding. At some point everyone here gets a button pushed or someone gets hit with a topic that they are sensitive about or have strong feelings about. For me, it was Michael's "dating game" thing and the gender issues that arose due to it.
Yes, you were a wee bit judgmental (okay, maybe more than a wee bit), but you weren't wrong to have those opinions. If it weren't a hot button topic for you, you'd probably been able to say it with more sympathy. But it's a GOOD thing that you realized that the way you said things may have been hurtful more than helpful to Kristy.
Kristy, hugs to you from me. I don't respond to your posts, but that's because I have my own scared hangups about people in a high manic state. For me, reading what you need to say is difficult emotionally. But I'm glad that you come here at any time to sort out your thoughts and get both support and reality checks.
When I have it, I'm a total pothead. It levels out my hypomanic/manic states and allows me to ignore my depressed states so I don't have to deal with it. But it doesn't really help me with my illness. It gets in the way of being clear headed enough to at least try to deal with it. So since late November I have have committed to not buying any pot (I never used other street drugs and I drink alcohol only very occasionally).
Lynn is totally right about one important thing - meth is bad sh*t. My former brother-in-law's life was ruined by it. He went from respected dentist to being in prison within three years of starting it. I'd hate to see that happen to you.
I guess it boils down to this: we are who we are. We need to say what we need to say, but we should expect others to have a reaction to it. When we react, we need to do so with compassion. But we also get to react with our own truth.
So hugs to both Kristy and Lynn. You both have a horrible disorder and are grappling with it, just like all the rest of us.

Oh God, thank you Red Star, for helping explain.
I don't know what got into me.
I do hate what drugs do to people,
and geez, I went off the beam.
One month on speed made me psychotic, I don't want that to happen to Kristy or anyone esle here. or anywhere.
I owe you Red, I hope Kristy reads your post.
My apologies again.
I am sorry.
