> I know it's hard for people who have never experienced or witnessed true mania in loved ones to understand the tornadic, vicious power of this state. All I ask is that you try to reserve judgment a bit, and extend your compassion to the sticking point.
> Thank you.I may not be totally up to speed on what this is about but Its also hard for people to know what is happening over text. we lose body language and jsut the visual aspect of social interaction here and its tough to judge meaning from just word sometimes. And if you aren't familar with a particular person's style etc its tough to know whats going on. I personally am very familiar with mania, but over a message board I would never expect someone reading to be able to know whether someone was manic if those people didn't know them quite well. And jsut becuase someone doesn't catch that... doesn't mean there is a lack of compassion. you know?
And good post Deneb
