<grins> Depression is fer da BIRDS and emotional masochists! Mebbe those who want to be miserable too?

Yes! Depression sucks! Yes! There is something you can do about it! REFUSE. Say fuck that bullshit!

yes can do...

i CAN reach into the pepsi case and pull out another pepsi.... ::sigh:: life is SO difficult fer me!

Who wants to go tan wit me, sit by the pool and complain about how rough life is?

the only problems you have are the ones you make. The ones you allow!

U knows! i run out of pepsi sometimes! Me drinking all ma pepsi - makes a problem! BUT i dun ALLOW it to be a problem when i decide to go hustle random strangers fer MORE pepsi..

or i content myself with water..

and when i run out of cigerattes.. :: sigh :: the sky will fall! Luckily, that day will never come sos i think i'm straight!

Yay me!

Hey Nalta, just go ahead and let go, vent and do what you have to do, to make it out of that state of mind, it can't hurt but only help. There are many here, myself included, who would be glad to be a shoulder for you.

i really have enjoyed reading this thread and thank you nefertari, you nailed it on many points.

i watched my mom go through severe depression for most of her life, i watched her spirit slowly run dry, and though she fought it the best way she knew how, and though she tried to mean it when she smiled, and sometimes she did, and though she didn't blatantly take her life, she inadvertantly allowed her body and her health to deteriorate. i had always been concerned since i was young that it would happen to me or my sister, and thus i became always mindful to guard against it taking over my life.

Very good reading... My own personal background; my mother, I believe was an undiagnosed Bi-Polar, well if not that, something akin... She could maintain an level of anger that was unnatural, yell and scream for days and nights at a time. I often wonder if my father, maybe having submissive leanings, mistook her anger as dominance.

Thyroid problems and depression have sprinkled the maternal side of my family and my siblings have not been spared either. And even though I myself have not bred, my siblings of course have fufilled passing it on well. I myself have likely just been treading water all these years. The book "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns was a great help at a time in my life when I had no hope and did help somewhat with coping. The panic attacks, depression, etc. are always waiting in the wings like an old habit just waiting for the backslide. They never have truly left. I'm well aware of the insanity of contradictions. If you are sick, you don't seek help. If you are well, you don't seek help. It's as maddening as ever. I had hoped to have something more positive to add, except that right now, clarity is about is easy as true honesty... harder than hell if you are self-deluded. Anyway, this thread was a good read, at the very least.

Just got in from having blood taken at the V.A. Clinic here.
They increased my meds last week (Lithium) and I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately, I think they'll need to increase the meds again once they get the blood results back.
The lithium level from the last test was way low, .02.
