That really does sound interesting, and something I just might look into. I don't think i want to dig to deep into my child hood...... very strange.. I found out last year that I lived with my grandparents until I was 11 years old.... now 31.. and I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER IT. Strange huh? I always assume... if I repressed that many years of my life... it might be better to keep them there... if ya know what I mean. But could this stuff actually like.... gosh I can't even think of a word,.... kind of... um.... :-) talk you into being motivated?

I am less depresed and seem to be enjoying life much better. But the one thing I'm having problems with is motivation. Don't have it. Want it. Badly. Is there anything I can take that can just put a little "kick in my step?" It's frustrating. I'm tired all the time... I have had a complete overhall on my body trying to find a reason for this... I am slightly anemic... but that's about all I've found. Any advice? Thanks in advance. Oh, I also want to add... just because... but James, Cam, Sal, Elizabeth, Shelli, Jay... and so many others.... you do a great job in helping people.. and from an observer standpoint.. I just wanted you to know you have answered so many of my questions and you just seem, well, so altogether helpful. It takes a great person to come on this board and provide information for people in need. Very unselfish. I just see so many people getting attacked lately... that I just wanted to say something positive to you guys... and oh.. p.s. you handle it so well. Not sure I could do the same. Take care all, Kristi :-)
