Ya know, sometimes I think it's more about the relationships we have in life than of the medication. You are right, it is a tool we can use to cope, but ultimately, it's how we learn to lift ourselves. Sometimes, when I'm sad and my friend comes over and says "hey, we are watching comedies tonight" and brings chocolate and mint juleps...I mean, I go from sad to laughing out loud. Even among our spouses and kids we can feel so sad and lonely...restless... but, having a spouse or friend that makes you laugh all the time can really lift a person. My kids sometimes crack me up too, if I pay attention to the funny things they do. That's the good thing about this thread...it's supportive. We need to laugh at eachother more often...and send jokes dealing with depression so we can take the seriousness off..I mean really, life is not that serious! For me, I know God put me here to learn and do something to make a difference to someone...I'm looking into that...he gave us all a skill...What's yours?
