> I consider this to be a medication holding pattern right now. It is ok, I am feeling much better, but it isn't perfect. I want to stay on it for a while. If depression worsens, my next step is to change the stimulant--probably to adderall--for a period to see how that is.
What stimulant are you taking now, and how much?
> Scott, I will answer your other question this way: although I know I am probably being irrational about this, I have a small amount of paranoia about the idea that someone who knows me might see my posts here and I would like very much for this to remain a part of my world where I can have at least some control over privacy. I have revealed quite a lot about myself except my profession and specific location. At this point I would prefer to keep it that way. I know the odds are that it is unlikely for someone I know to read this, but this way I can maintain a perception of safety, which frees me to communicate meaningfully here.
I really had a hard time deciding whether or not to post question #2. I must have submitted - backspaced a dozen times, but I was intensely interested to know the depth of your knowledge in psychology-sociology. I find your perspective and the factual detail supporting it to be so well-directed. I just wish I had more energy to read the threads that contain your posts.
I had never considered that the question I asked might be a "dangerous" provocation for you to "blow your cover". Your reasons for not doing so are not irrational. I'm not sure I would have. My reasons have more to do with embarrassment. I felt the question was very personal, though, but I thought it likely that you had already shared this information. I'm glad you didn't.
You are so cool.
Anyway, I hope you don't hate me anymore.
> And, Carol Ann, no, this doesn't mean I am someone famous! :0 )
Well, I guess that depends upon the venue.
Sincerely,
Scott
