Salut, au revoir, ou adieu . . .

[mono]

Greetings, my fellow generous forum members.
With difficulty and sadness, I feel I must temporarily bid you all goodbye. Hoping not to sound too melodramatic and self-pitying, perhaps stimulating all sorts of dreadful gossip, a series of very challenging and overwhelmingly stressful events has occurred simultaneously, and I feel that I cannot devote a great amount of effort to seemingly large or small tasks, continuing to aim my last remaining emphasis in nursing school and writing.
Though I admit it to very few people, let alone over a public forum, I have painstakingly and embarrassingly battled bipolar disorder for years (for which I receive treatment), but certain extreme bouts of inevitable and unforeseen events has brought about some type of exacerbation, which has afforded me significant stress.
Hopefully you will all understand, and with my intended return, I will receive no private messages until then, though some of you have my e-mail address, the utilization of which you will surely receive replies.
Take care and best wishes.
mono

Having bipolar disorder is nothing to be ashamed. My step-father has it and I seem to know more and more people with it.

I'm awfully sorry to read that you've had things change suddenly in your life with an increase in stress and while I'm not gonna sit here and speculate as to why, I sincerely hope things improve for you soon!

take care of yourself and good luck with your final leg of nursing school.

Also.. you have many many friends here and have touched many lives at least in this realm, it was very thoughtful of you to let people know you won't be around much, saves them worrying unnecessarily.

Good Luck Mono. I hope you will manage to deal with your stressors with no lasting effects. I can relate entirely, my last episode started on my birthday, when the tsunami hit, and lead me to multiple injuries, loss of employment, and more. Please take care of yourself. I know very little about you, but that you are dear to many.

Take care Mono- hope to see you around soon though. Good luck with nursing school. ;)

[baddad]

Yeah. bipolar. Its the thing that makes life the most interesting. Many great artists, writers, inventors, actors and actresses suffer from this disease........as do I. Hugs and best wishes my friend......if you need to talk.........I'm easy to find...

Mono, I'm really sorry to read of your unfortunate stresses, but I truely hope you are able to deal with whatever needs to be done, and things may improve for you soon.It can be especially challenging when there is a succession of negative episodes which can bring on a more distressing state, and effect one greatly, but I sincerely hope you are able to pick up and work your way through everything in the future.I send also you my best wishes, and realize that many care.Good luck with your nursing school and writing- there is no need to rush, it's completely understandable, with email replies.
Bye for now:)

[Pensive]

Goodluck with your nursing school and writing. My own monthly exams are coming therefore I will not be available for five or six days, sadly but its life. I hope you will be able to deal with everything. Take the bull by the horns!

[Darlin]

Mono, you will truly be missed. You're rather like the the father figure here assisting all and welcoming the newbies. I hope everything works out for you and I look forward to your return.

[RococoLocket]

I hope things become better for you soon m'dear, and you can return to us with a happy heart & a relaxed frame of mind :)

[Koa]

I was like noticing that mono wasnt around as much as before... which happens to anyone at times for various reasons... Well at least now we know that you're kinda too busy to devote time to the forums... I just hope that everything will be fine for you and that you come back soon!!! :wave:

[querida]

Goodbye and good luck Mono. We won't forget you during your (hopefully short!) absence! Indeed, things won't be the same!
Hope all will be well with you! Let us know as soon as you're back!

[Taliesin]

Fare well, mono!
To quote a song, that noone but me in this forums knows:
"Though you will start reading your own narrow path, we will still, sometimes, like watching the moon, think no more, no less, than: "I wonder how he is doing out there?""

Return soon.

[Isagel]

I wanted to write something that would matter. But whatever I wanted to say Donne said it better:

" These burning fits but meteors be,
Whose matter in thee is soon spent ;
Thy beauty, and all parts, which are thee,
Are unchangeable firmament."

Take care and come back when you are ready. Love, Isagel

[Nightshade]

Swift returns
take care Mono:D

[subterranean]

This has to be the worst news I have ever read today, yet it is still 7.24 am in the morning. :(

My warmest hug and highest optimism go to you and no matter what happen, you'll always have us.

[NNoah3]

Good Luck Mono!
I will miss you!
Who always help me to keep going some threads....

[papayahed]

Good Luck Mono.

[Monica]

I'm sure everything is going to be fine. I keep all my ten fingers crossed for you :D And always remember:

"Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit..." :D

[Kaltrina]

Good luck Mono. I will miss you and hope you'll come back soon.... big hug for you... :D

[amuse]

mono, it is so beautiful and inspiring that you shared this with people, and do whatever you need to to focus. you have so much going on right now, of course you would need a break from something. much love to you and TAKE GOOD CARE. xxoo

[rachel]

Somehow when I look out the window the sun seems not as lustrous, the air less pure and invigorating.
My fingers wander aimlessly over the keyboard in search of the right words.
but there are none.
come back soon
