Else...
My heart goes out to you, as it also does to all those cursed by the cruel and unfair sleight-of-hand genetics has dealt us. As much as we are all here to support one another, it gets difficult saying (and hearing) the same things over and over, I can only add a "hang in there, friend", like everyone else says. It is also disheartening to hear "outsiders" tell us to "Pick yourselves up by the bootstraps and get on with it!" Almost hard to believe that there are really people dumb/naive enough to think that we are "choosing" this way of life...or that we can simply change our minds, or just think positively, and all will be well. Wow, I sure hope we are still an evolving species!!
Else, i won't comment on the back-forth thing you and JohnL seemed to be having...you both come from two distinct perspectives, both with great merit, but i am wondering, after the various meds. you've taken, if you would ever consider the low-dosage regimen that he seems to have success with. You seemed quite against usage of anti-P's in treatment for depression...but do you think maybe a very-low-dosage trial might be of benefit?
With the kindest of thoughts, jotho
