Denise, I`m with you having a hard time understanding people stopping effective treatments because of sexual side effects. It`s like WHAT?-depression is 24/7-just how often do these people have sex? I know it`s not just about the sex but the self esteem and relationship issues involved, but still, depression is so all pervasive, who`s still interested in sex? As far as weight goes, it`s so dependent on the amount. There are people who think they`re fat and there are people who really are fat. Long before I really was fat I thought I was, starting the endless diet cycle. Maybe I should have started smoking instead... So I guess on one level I can understand the people who get upset about small weight gains but on another level I want to scream"What do you have to complain about?!!!" But when you really are fat, people treat you so badly; there`s so much prejudice. It starts so young- I work in a hospital and heard a nursing instructor comment about how "fat and ugly" a baby was. A baby! And she knew perfectly well he was fat because of the steroid medications he was on, but still couldn`t resist the comment. So it`s hard to imagine how there can be anybody who is overweight and happy, though maybe there are some. I don`t know, just rambling. I read all the horrible news in the newspapers and I don`t know how there can be ANYBODY in the world who ISN`T depressed, but obviously there are. I guess the only thing we all can know for sure is "Life is not fair." Cecilia
