  I accept you for who you are, dear Polly.
  
  I have not been much of a friend because of personal crisis - I could not manage to jump over my shadow... (this is a a sort of a literal translation from German, I can´t remember if it is the same in English or it has the same meaning, sorry).  I understand your feelings even if I don´t know your situation, and I don´t really have to know.
  
  I have learned from you from a distance, and I have taken inspiration from your dedication as a friend.
  
  I wish, I could express myself better but if I think so much I would not be able to leave you a comment telling you, you are a valuable person in my life.

  Hi Polar - you must NEVER think that I would EVER think of turning my back on you.This is truly a place where one can come and be themselves,when they need to express feelings of happiness,or sadness - anger or grief.I know that you have been going through a rough patch in your life.I dont know what the situation is - but I will support you for as long as you feel you need support.
  I put a post up on Saturday night,that I am now not particularly proud of...it was a different me,a sensitive and fragile me,dare i say,a paranoid me....and I hate being like that, cos i know that it isnt me.
  But we go through these 'phases' in our lives,thats life I guess.
  I will always support you,no matter what.

  I was just thinking about you last night and wondering if I had done something to tick you off!  LOL

  You will always be "my polarcakes".  I know you've been working through some very difficult things in your life.  Nobody needs to know the details.  You do what you need to do.  In case I haven't said it before, my inbox, either here or e-mail, is always open to you. 

  Sometimes you just have to concentrate on slogging your way through the muck life throws at you.  I understand.

  Hi, Polar!
  
  I haven't visited for awhile but I've been very, very busy. Now I should have a bit more time on my hands for awhile, who knows how long. I try and be a good listener and I've felt bad for a long time that I haven't been able to participate in more blogs and be more sociable.
  
  Is it just me, or are a lot of people going through tough times right about now?
  

• pickersplock said on Aug 24, 2008....

  I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not upset with you!  Never have been.
  I'm just caught up in the late summer, back to school, try to fit everything in at once time of year!
  I'm still here though!

• evil_twin said on Aug 24, 2008....

  I know I haven't commented as much lately, but that's nothing against you. I've had my own stuff happening too, so I've been quiet with everyone. And like you, I didn't really feel like blogging about most of what I was going through. Sometimes you just want to keep certain things to yourself, and that's okay.
  
  But I'm definitely not disappointed in you or anything. And anyone who is a true friend of yours, would never feel that way. I just hope you get things sorted out in your life and start feeling better all around.

  Dearest Polarheart:
   
  You are always a special friend beloved.  I am here about once a week.  Of course, I have no idea what so ever about problems in your life right now.  It wouldn't matter anyway...you are, and always will be a very special friend.  A gift from God in my life.  If you want to pm me, you know that you can.  I have been through all sorts of problems and challenges in my life...as you well know.  I cannot share what I do not have...but I do have forgiveness, grace, a heart full of love and a gentle ear.  Let me help, if I can.  Love always helps...doesn't it?  True Love always helps my friend, I can promise you that.
   
  Love always,

  heya rolley polley. i got no problems with you at all. i think you're a fine example of a woman, a friend, a human being. you're someone i look up to. i guess that kinda sounds like i've got expectations of you, doesn't it? quite the contrary. i look up to you because you're brave enough to be yourself. that's something i strive for in my own life, and admire and value highly in others. so i guess ya, one expectation. i expect you to keep on bein you.

• skald said on Aug 24, 2008....

  You know I am your friend and I am not at all disappointed in you. I don't even consider this post to be meant for me but I still want to say that to you. luv J 

• woman said on Aug 24, 2008....

  No problems here and wishing you the best. Changing and growing are difficult but I'm cheering you on.

• LtCmdrWorf1 said on Aug 24, 2008....

  Hey Polar,
  
  I don't have any problem with you or anyone else here.  You have always been considerate, thoughtful, and funny.  I know that I have not commented on anyone's post fora while because I've been very busy, and am about to be again.   If it means anything I still love you.  Peace and Long Life
  
  Love Worf
  

• pusscat said on Aug 24, 2008....

  Hey girl - sorry to disappoint you and all that but you don't get rid of me that easy!
   
  I am a depressive with bipolar remember?  Mad as a hatter sometimes, not proud of it but I'm damned if I'll be ashamed of it so, being 'different' from the usual polar is quite ok with me my friend.  Lord - if my friends left me every time I hit rock bottom or was up shit creek without a paddle, I'd have none left!
   
  Sometimes people don't realise that we don't always want to talk about the problem itself.  We just want people to know there is a problem that we are trying to work through.  To me my friend, that is what I am reading here.  You are under no obligation and I don't think you need to worry about offending us here either.
   
  The ones that disappear are not worth worrying about and the ones that are still here hun?  Well - that's just what we are - here for you.  As for a cold shoulder - that's just this shit British weather my girl - how many years will it take you to get used it it eh? (LOL)
   
  My PM box is open but don't ever fret - there is no obligation amongst friends.
   
  If i were closer I'd give your hand a reassuring squeeze right now

• polarheart said on Aug 25, 2008....

  Dear All

  Dont worry this will not be a blanket response, I will reply individually.  I am sorry for seeming ungrateful and put-out, I hope you all know I just needed to get that off my chest.  Sometimes mole hills seem like mountains to me, when I wrote this post it was one of those times.  But having read all your responses and PMs it really has made me feel better and given me a hope to carry on.

  Joanna - thank you, my darling.  You always "show up" just when I need you.  I envision you like an angel that hangs around where nobody can see you, but that you are always there to help when its truly needed.  I feel bad because I know you also have prob even bigger issues than me to deal with and yet here you are uplifting me.  Thank you, sweety, I really appreciate you. (((((((((hugs))))))) 

  Daily - thank you for leaving a comment and saying that you love me.  I dont know why I feel the way I do either. . .I am on such a strange path at the moment, but I appreciate you still being a friend. (((((hugs))))

  Cuppa - thank you so much for all your friendship and support.  From what I have read of you I know that you are struggling with a lot of things too, and yet here you are offering to be a back-up to me.  I really admire that in you :-)  I think its good for us to be completely open and honest, to show our vulnerability every so often. . .it keeps us real.  Thank you for being a great friend to me. (((((hugs)))))

  Meems - I could NEVER EVER be ticked off with you! NEVER!  You have been a constant in my life.  Always reaching out to me when I have needed it most. . .I am only sad that I have not been able to be the same to you in my feeble state.  I really appreciate that you understand and I prize your love and frienship highly. (((((hugs)))))

  Tintin - So nice to see you here and you leaving a comment really does my heart good.  I have been a "terrible" friend of late, not commenting etc etc because of the state I am in, so really I dont deserve all the loving comments left here.  I think you are right. . .a lot of us are going through some pretty tough times.  I really wonder why that is.  I can sense it in the "air".  Anyway, thank you for offering to listen. . .I cant guarantee that you will like what you hear lol.

  Pickers - I am so glad you are not upset with me.  I know that people are busy and have their own "stuff" to deal with. . .that's why I actually know that I was being over-sensitive when I wrote this post.  But again I would rather show the ugly / un-strong side of me because it keeps me real.  Thanks for being around :-)

  Twinny - if ever there was someone I felt knew pretty much spot on how I was feeling it was you.  Not that we know the details of each other's lives, but because we tend to have the same thoughts, feelings and emotions.  You know what I mean.  Thanks for not being disappointed in me.  I knew that I would have your support. . .I hope that doesn't make me seem over-confident.  I have hope in hope that things can change. . .not only for me, but you also. (((hugs)))

  Truth - what a wonderful surprise!  Thank you for your loving and sweet comment.  I know that you are there for me.  And I appreciate it specifically because I know some of the trials you have faced.  Thank you for having an open door to me.  Right now I will only ask you to pray.  I am not praying.  I need others to pray for me.  If you do that you will be giving me a great gift.  Thank you, my friend. (((((hugs)))))

  Trav - you know, your comment just made me want to melt.  Yes, melt.  What sweet and tender things to say.  How did you know exactly what my heart needed to hear?  Honest.  Thank you so much for applying your words like balm to my soul.  I would have never guessed. . .esp. coz you and I have had our ups and downs LOL!  But here you are being such a sweetheart and showing me that the past is the past and that you and I really are friends.  Thank you so very much! (((((BIG HUG)))))

  Skald - My darling friend, where would I be without your love and friendship?  You have helped me through so many other things in my life. . .I know that you are a constant beacon in my life.  Someone who shines the light for me all the way from Iceland.  Thank you my friend, I am so glad also that you are not disappointed in me. . .I need your friendship now more than ever before. ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

• polarheart said on Aug 25, 2008....

  Woman - thank you for your comment and for cheering me on, I really need it. Ta!
   
  Worf - what a sweet thing to say. . .I will take of that love, thank you. . .it is like water to a thirsty soul right now.  I have also been bad in commenting (very bad) and that's why I know that my post must seem like a pity party and actually I dont deserve all the nice things people have said.  Thank you for taking time out of your business to leave a comment here :-)
   
  Pusscat - what a dear, sweet friend you have become to me!  Thank you so much.  Just knowing that we are in the same country brings comfort to my soul.  You have such a way about you (depressive pi-polar or not) that always makes me feel so much better.  Thank you for having an open-inbox for me. . .just knowing really helps.  I cant express enough how much I appreciate you reaching out to me and always encouraging me.  Words by themselves to not do it.  I think a hug would be in order.  You know if you're ever down here in London. . .lets meet, even if its just for a hug :-)
   
  Mames - thank you, sweety.  I am sure nobody did anything intentional, in fact I am pretty sure that all this had got to do with my own feelings of insecurity and state of being.  But, thank you so much for popping in to help make me feel better.
   
  RollingC - I have always had full faith in your friendship.  I hope that doesn't make you feel taken for granted?!  But I have.  Thank you for being around to encourage me and to offer words of wisdom.  You really are a great guy, RC, I am glad that you are in my life. (((((((((hugs))))))))
   
  Queenie - my darling 'lil sis.  You shouldn't be seeing your big sister falling apart at the seems like this.  But I appreciate that you can accept me as I am.  Do me a favour?  Learn from my mistakes, will you?  You will save yourself a lot of pain in the long run.  Love you always! (((((hugs)))))

• travelr712 said on Aug 25, 2008....

  sometimes, the way i say things, well, i get myself into trouble with people when i really don't mean to. i know it's my fault, i'm blunt and can sound very harsh when i think i'm just being honest or clever. but good people get hurt sometimes, and i always regret that. but like you said, the past is the past, and it's behind us. i'm glad i had the opportunity to say how i really think of you.

• uniquely-ironic said on Aug 25, 2008....

  I've sensed that you have big things going on in your life Polar.  I hope you know that I consider you a friend no matter how these things play out.  Your heart is warm and friendly and that is not likely to change.

• polarheart said on Aug 25, 2008....

  Trav, why dont you come on over for a mug of coffee or two and we can chat like buddies. . .from what I read in your most recent blog, I think we are more kindred than what we may have realised.  I am glad you said what you said too.  I really treasure it.  So, what time can I be expecting you? :-) LOL
   
  U-I, thank you my friend.  Knowing that I have you and others like you who are standing beside me, really helps a lot.  I know I must seem sad, but the people here really are my family.

• travelr712 said on Aug 25, 2008....

  pass the sugar will ya polarcakes? :-)

• polarheart said on Aug 25, 2008....

  Sure :-) 

• travelr712 said on Aug 25, 2008....

  good coffee. so, how was your day?

• polarheart said on Aug 25, 2008....

  My day was good, we had a bank holiday here in the UK.  In South Africa we refer to them as public holidays. . .dont know what you call them in the US?  How was your day?

• travelr712 said on Aug 25, 2008....

  usually just a holiday. we have one next monday, labor day. it's a day for all us poor laborers. cept i haven't been with the company long enough, so it's not a paid holiday, it's just a day that i don't work and lose the pay :-(
   
  my day? well, i overheard the three 'regular' employees talking in low tones so i wouldn't be able to hear them (i sit in the next cubicle), and the guy they all more or less follow said that me and the other new guy were to be 'thrown into the pool to see if we could sink or swim'. so, no training. but hey, at least i'm not gonna get a 'sorry we hired you' email tomorrow, right? besides, i've already fixed one of their apps and contacted the customer pending the next step, and i'm half way through fixing a second one, so i'm not too worried about the technology.
   
  jeez! i get long winded, don't i?

• lionesss said on Aug 25, 2008....

  hiya polar, i hope you're feeling a little better, i dont think that my best friend pusscat could say it any better so my response is the same as hers, i know when she is going through her bi _polar days i know that she is left to her own devices and i let her be until she feels better, but she always knows that i would never desert her ever,so there are times in everyones life when they feel unimportant but its clear on here ''hahaha poet and didnt no it ........err sorry...''that you are important and special to alot of them, so i reach out my hand to you, lionesss x

• silverwhisper said on Aug 25, 2008....

  polar, i will content myself with saying this: be the woman that you are. at the end of the day, preconceptions and judgments are for places other than SC.
  
  so if you would speak on, then i implore you to do so. :>
