Hi Ryan-
Interesting handle, ryan_s. Some meaning to it
or just whimsy?The doc quote is good, I'll save that one, thanks,
except most times we (I) am only capable of dealing
with it in negative, self-destructive ways.I and many others here are searching for the magic
med that will enable us to _live_ and be _happy_,
or just get us thru another day.I would gladly accept being content & comfortable
with myself, which is a self-esteem issue and believ
you me, you are not alone. I can relate to your
feelings. Therapy is claimed to be good for unearthing
or coming to terms with issues that are sources of
our self-esteem. But I don't think it's a stand-alone
cure. Personally, I know my 'issues' and I 'know'
how I should view them, deal with them, balance them.
But being a depressive, the leap from knowing to being able to do,
is pretty much an impossibility. Things are just too
cloudy up here.Med wise, if you don't want to go the MAOI route
(which I'm thinking of doing), then maybe the over
seas meds others have suggested might be your next
step.Take care
