> I am glad you feel that way about yourself, but I myself can't say I like any of the effects of my depression in the way you are talking about. On the other hand, it has forced me to deal with it, to grow, etc. I still would give it up in a heartbeat if I could, and would opt for what you call CNP-ism for sure.

Ted-Noa took the words right out of my mouth. As I read your words, I was wistfully thinking how much I'd love to be a Chronically Normal Person (great expression!)Bring me Leave It to Beaver and Donna Reed anyday. Right now I'm watching ER, and our depressed, druggie Dr. Carter has just resentfully checked himself into a three-month rehab program, and we know that although there may be a couple of dramatic bumps along the way, we also know that he'll make it and be a new, improved Dr. Carter. I wish I could have that sense of certainty about climbing out of my depression/anxiety, ocd, add and borderline problems.

It's a wonderful dream. I doubt it will ever be real.
