It has taken me over an hour to learn how to manuever to this site.
First, thank you for being concerned about Kristen. I was able to read a few messages, but again, trying to maneuver around this site. I was called over to the house early this morning 4:25am to be exact. My wife, currently ex, had explained to me that Kristen became dizzy and passed out, lost consciousness, and was taken to the ER, she was soon air lifted to another hospital. We later learned that she had taken all of her medications and consumed liquor at the same time. She is at Mt. St Mary's in California, still in a coma. Her note that she left in front of her computer, reads this way "please get in contact with a Psychological Babble Board on the internet and tell those people that I am very sorry that I couldn't be everything to all people and that I love them and care about them". So there it is. I read a note here that had said something concerning she is ok? She isn't ok, and we do not know if she will be. She is still in a coma. The doctors have her on a ventilator, and as of this moment, we do not know how long this will sustain. The doctors made this comment today, "Kristen has a very good chance of coming out of this, as she mixed such non-potent substances". So we are indeed hopeful, but shocked at the same breath. I am writing this from my laptop as we are sitting in the hospital. We have been here most of the morning and all day. I also read a note, a few, actually about the credibility of what has happened and how some don't believe it. Also, a note about wanting attention. We are quite offended at the fact that anyone would think that a person would say such a statement and lie about that statement.
Although Kristen is "too smart to do something stupid" she was hinting and crying out for help as it stated in her letter to us. I posted her email yesterday in case someone, somewhere could relay to us if something had happened to cause this, did she talk to anyone?, did she show signs out of the unusual? We are looking for answers and in the meantime, staying by her side and the next few days will be spent doing just that. If anything brings an ex wife and an ex husband together it is when their child suffers enough to harm themselves. As said before, we are searching for answers not only here on this computer, her emails, but other sources indeed. We have been busy all day, in hopes of getting her the help she needs when and if she comes out of this horrible nightmare. Please be understanding and know she would never lie about something like this. You all sound like a good bunch of folks.God Bless.

Not funny...Do you consider how others may feel- No.
Grow up...get wise.
No wonder so many of us cannot get well.
I quit.

Hi Kristen's Dad (also named Kristen),
> First, thank you for being concerned about Kristen. I was able to read a few messages, but again, trying to maneuver around this site. I was called over to the house early this morning 4:25am to be exact.
4:25 am? That's funny since you posted your previous message at 3:19 am central time which would be 1:19 am at you house in California. How is it that you posted the sad news before you even knew about it?
> Her note that she left in front of her computer, reads this way "please get in contact with a Psychological Babble Board on the internet and tell those people that I am very sorry that I couldn't be everything to all people and that I love them and care about them".
Lying and crying wolf do not typically fall into the category of loving and caring behavior.
> I also read a note, a few, actually about the credibility of what has happened and how some don't believe it. Also, a note about wanting attention. We are quite offended at the fact that anyone would think that a person would say such a statement and lie about that statement.
Yeah we hear ya on this one. We at pbabble are also quite offended at the fact that anyone would say such a statement and lie about that statement.
> Although Kristen is "too smart to do something stupid" she was hinting and crying out for help as it stated in her letter to us.
There are healthy ways to get help. This stunt is not one of them. Can you visit your counselor? Come back after your block is over Krissy. We'll still be here.
> Please be understanding and know she would never lie about something like this.
Yeah right.
> You all sound like a good bunch of folks.
Thanks.
> God Bless.
Krissy uses this closing a lot. Hmmmm.
Best wishes Kristen. Be all that you can be. Reach for the stars but keep your feet on the ground.-- Ron

If you pop into Jay's board you will see this is Kristen's idea of a joke. Her post there came after RichardN's first post.

Actually, I think it is a hoax, too, but the link is posted at 2:43 am Greenwich mean time on 4-10, which would be, I think 9:43 pm, CST (CST being the time PB goes by) on April 9th.
Still, my hunch is it's a hoax.

Oh, sorry, I missed the GMT note. So that post was 5.5 hours before the one here. Kind of a short period for her to OD on pills, lapse into a coma, go to hospital, and have her dad get onto the internet, find this site, and post on both Admin and Social.
I think I've used up enough energy on this one though. Time to disengage..

Knock it off. Your posts are obviously fiction and truely pathetic. I've been in the medical profession for many years and I know that you're lying. I understand that you need help and that you're crying out for attention, but this is a truly cheap and unintelligent way of going about it.
I'm honestly trying not to be so angry, and usually I am a peace-maker. But in your ignorance, you have crossed the line. This isn't
a typical chatroom - it's a website for those who are attempting to deal with their depression and
other serious psychological problems. It's not a playground.From my point of view, the real tragedy is that you've cut yourself off from a wonderful source of advice and support from people who would have listened. They would have offered you the love and acceptance you need without reservation, and I know this for a fact. My own husband, who is busily divorcing me in a timely fashion, considers me a suicidal, alcoholic, drug-addicted
maniac. I like to think that my friends here on PB have a more gentle view of me, and they would have welcomed you just the same.No need to apologize or explain; lurk if you want, and offer an opinion if you like. Support someone when you can.

Hi Tabitha,
> If you pop into Jay's board you will see this is Kristen's idea of a joke. Her post there came after RichardN's first post.
Shortly after RichardN’s first post, I checked over at Jay's Board and noticed the post by Kristen that you are referring to. I checked the post times in hopes of finding a discrepancy. However, time zone conversions are required before the post times can be compared.
As you probably know, the post times on Dr. Bob's site are central time zone (University of Chicago). However, Jay's Board uses GMT time. After the time zone conversions are done, it turns out that Kristen posted to Jay's Board on Tuesday April 9, 2003 at 7:43 pm local time in California (where she lives). The first RichardN post on PBA was posted on Wednesday April 10, 2003 at 1:19 am local time in California, which is subsequent to her post to Jay’s Board. All of this assumes I did the time zone conversion arithmetic correctly.
I supply this merely as an FYI, Tabitha.

Especially if you think that would be healthier for you, I agree.
