> With me it made a difference finding an AD (tianeptine) that was of enough use and then finding a way to meet some nice (nonmainstream) people who didn't think I was too weird, which I managed by volunteering at our community radio station. It took the best part of forever to do that, which is such a waste of time. The thing that made a difference was the human contact, but the human contact wouldn't have happened without the drug, which I suppose is no news to you.
> DeclanWhat a great story - thank you for sharing this, Declan.
Jerry, I have dropped out of more things than I have joined up for. That sounds really dismal, but it has proven to be more important that I do what I am well suited to do. If admitting that I am not "up to", or more accurately, not suitable for, some positions/situations, it is an admission of self-knowledge, and not defeat.
By my standards. By what is best for me, not what is best for a resume. It has taken a long time for me to accept that I have to define my own markers for success. Slightly askew.Jerry, I hope that you share with us here and come to realize your integrity and inner strength that the rest of us have seen.
