> > > Today was the first day of depression since February (Wellbutrin). What a disappointment. Just when I was all set to NEVER have to deal with that again. Sigh...
> >
> > NEVER say NEVER! It's too dangerous. Everyone has bad days. Even people who don't need antidepressants. You're probably just reacting to the horrible couple of days you've had. (Make that horrible couple of weeks you've had. It's hard not to feel depressed when you feel so physically ill.)

> You are so right, my friend! Why should I be the only one exempt from a "down" day once in a while??? Before all this doctors/meds stuff, I would have just had a good cry, a pint of chocolate ice cream, and moved on. But now, my initial (over)reaction is, "OH NO!!! It's starting ALL over AGAIN!"You're entitled. I think that's a natural reaction to experiencing depression again esp. after what you went through. I would feel the same way. I keep thinking of something Larry said once: "sometimes ya dip". I think that says it all.
> Just a few minutes ago, it occurred to me that even the slightest fever always used to cause depression. So I took my temperature, and guess what??? Low-grade fever. I am very relieved that this is quite possibly the only reason for the depression today. But I am overwhelmed by a great sense of remorse that my answer may be so simple while so many others struggle to get a handle on something to help them. I hate mental illness of any kind, from any cause, and what it does to the lives of so many people. Anyhow... There's my $0.02 worth... Oh, by the way, you and Lar and the gang are in my prayers. =)
I know. I've read some really heartbreaking posts on these boards and it just makes me so sad and angry that all of us have to go through such hardship.
Thanks for including me in your prayers. I don't pray much myself but if I did, I'd include you as well.
> > > > As an aside, I live in a section of LA (Brentwood) where a lot of stars live. Of course I'm in a dumpy apartment building and they're in mansions up in the hills, but I still run into them in town. You wouldn't believe who was walking in front of my complex as I drove into the driveway a couple of weeks ago? I was just a few feet from them and I nearly crashed my car when I saw them.

> Wow!!! The one at the store was absolutely my favorite male actor when I was younger. He still probably is, but we don't see much of him anymore. Brilliant actor! Thanks for sharing, and keep me posted.Also ironically, all of the people I told about seeing him weren't terribly impressed because they had all met him or had something more than that to do with him themselves. It really burst my bubble. One of my friends is in catering and she has catered at some small parties he's been at and he has actually helped her to clear tables!!! So, needless to say, on top of being a fabulous actor, he's also a really good guy.
> Hey, I understand Lar's apartment is in the movies too. Do you think he will be an actor next??? Oh yeah. He said he was applying for a government job. Soooo... Do you think it is for CIA or FBI??? Hmmmmmmmm...
>
> SimusI think we need to find out what he looks like so we can look for him onscreen. Maybe he'll combine the two and be the next James Bond although they'll have to change the name slightly to "Larry Hoover, Scientist at Large".
