You wrote[...If you have something to add please do....I had to get off the Seroquel...]
There are two ways that I know of to overcome depression/addiction. One by {human acheivement}, the other by {divine accomplishment}. I do not know of anyone that has been healed of depression/ addiction by human acheivement by taking psychotropic drugs. Now I am talking about healing from years of druggin'. As I see in your case, members here could just keep on telling you to take more drugs. Others could tell you to use Mr. Beck's therapy or such. But I say to you, that today you could go on a new road, and sing a new song. A song of life. This song comes from one having a new heart a new spirit, a new life. A life free from pain, free from crying, free from slavery, free from death. A life of peace and joy.
If you want to go on a new road, a road that leads to freedom and life and life more abundantly, now is a time to make that decision. Do you want more drugs that could lead to death? In the new road there is healing. This healing is of the spirit. And when the spirit of man is healed, then the mind can be healed. And truth could be revealed and when you know the truth, you are made free from the lies of the world that shackle people in slavery and depression and addiction. And when the chains of depression/addiction are unlocked, you could go out in joy and sing, "Free at last free at last. Thank God almighty I am free at last."
