Re: Moodswings - how to cope? ----- From: Diane - Date: 11 Nov 1997

Hello Trish,

Thanks so much for the response, and I am so glad I took part in you joining this forum, you bring much empathy, compassion and insight to this board. I rarely post or reply (though I'm here every day, at lunch), I am surprised and pleased some one remembers me!

I do remember your post. You seemed distressed over the situation, perhaps even a little urgent. I could tell that my posting touched on something personal to you or someone you love was going through. I am so glad you wrote today to explain. I am anxious to talk to your friend, I am curious as to whether this is a musicians/artists temperment at work, or if that's just a generalization for especially complex people with much creative and focused energy.

I am so sorry for the death of your friends husband. I tend to wonder - perhaps the type of person he was contributed to the weakening of his heart. He seemed to have a "wounded heart"- literally. I am also grateful to hear that he found a better way to cope - not shutting down- before he died. He probably HAD to learn that before being released from this earth.

I have also heard the reference of going into the cave. A dear friend loaned me the book just today, so I plan to read most of it tonight. I briefly skimmed it, was a little annoyed at the "men are this way, women are that way" blanket statements - but I will keep an open mind about it, and I am sure to glean some insight from it, I do from everything I read.

Again , thank you Trish for your response.

You glow.

regards - Diane
