Going to require some serious editing of the Bible and will most likely drive Pat Robertson over the edge.

> JC appeared actually to have at least a human in his lineage. If I were to describe him in water temperature terms, I would say "above freezing". A stretch from God who had all the personality and warmth as the Ice Planet Hoth. That withstanding, he asked me the general questions and seemed concerned, which is a nice change from God (Oops, I wrote that, God will probably know since he can read my mind). Oh well, I'm screwed : (.

> What can I say, JC decided that it was best for me to jump into a new mix of medication. This time, I am thrusting knee deep into a Paxil/Klonopin cocktail. Joy! Just what I wanted. A mixture of medicine to cloud my life. Wonderful. He also informed me that my pinhole sized eyes, which have been with me since my last dose 3 days ago, might return. Super dee duper!! I love it. We're going for the gold here. I can't wait to quit this shit next.

> JC seemed to be a bit concerned about my recent "best friend" and the newness of my recent failure. I found her in a local store and she truly is a beaut. Guaranteed not to be as much of a failure as the pills have been. My wife will love it when I tell her about it. Don't worry honey, when I blow my brains out, I'll make sure I do it outside so it won't get on the carpet. Such the sensitive and caring hubby.

Are you kidding? I hope you are kidding. It can't be that bad, can it? I know your comical side hasn't given up hope yet, has it? Maybe you should scrap the meds for a little while and find a safe place (can't really say where that is, but think back to your childhood, there must be some place that gives you fond memories). Think about that kid as you sit in your safest place. You wouldn't dare hurt that child, would you? Maybe call an old, dear friend to come along. Drastic situations call for drastic measures.
And about your meds. I have a totally cynical view toward medication also. But unlike you, I threw them aside and said " Depression is my companion for the time being", and lived with the pain for a while. Maybe you can ride it out, maybe you can't. But it sounds like something you can handle or cope with instead of these #$%@$# meds you can't really stand to take. (By the way, I still held on to my xanax when I dropped other meds; at least it "numbed" the pain).
Stick around for the last scene of your life. The finale usually is the best part.
