Banga, thanks for your support and encouragement. What is your dissertation on?

> It is so heavy at the bottom, I have been in a similar place, been in the hospital for it and incapacitated to work. though i would never claim I know exactly how you feel. Please hang in there, with time I did manage to pull myself out of that pit. Now with the help of medication (primarily the Abilify I think, though each piece seems to give me something) I marvel each day that my day does not consist of trying to resist a constant, magnetic like pull downwards into depression. How can one be so full of pain, yet so very empty at the same time. Then, at some point, I felt like someone suddenly put solid ground under my feet, the pull downward stopped. I almost feel like I need to jump up and down, to feel the solidity of the ground. I do have moments--but only moments!! of darkness, and anxiety (though really I SHOULD feel anxious, with a dissertation hanging over my head)but these are moments, not days or weeks of agony in pain and despair.
