      i'm so angry about my foot. out with a friend the other day my conversation turned dark, recounting the times I acted out in rage and was a complete (and scary) jerk. It freaked her a bit. Later I realized it's always about feeling like I've been kicked around one to many times.

        It always comes down to that, doesn't it, Ron? We take it on ourselves, as if it's somehow our fault that we keep getting kicked around.

        For myself, I am in hell here. Not sure how to make it through the night. Talked with a good friend earlier, who helped a lot. But now I am alone again and not sure how I'm gonna make it through.

        Sorry guys, just having a really hard time and rambling. If anyone's here, will you talk to me please?

              Hi I am new to this tribe. I just want to say hello. I have struggled with dehabilitating depressions intermittantly my whole life but have only been on meds for one period of three years-- most productive years of my life I may add. I am very stubborn and, dare I say, stupid this way. I am feeling okay right now although I can feel a little seasonal stuff happening-- I will try to stay on top of things. I did have an appointment with a psychiatrist yesterday because I want to stay on top- I have been diagnosed with ADD and I think that is the central issue which creates depression---who knows! I am very holistic but I am open to going on meds again if I have to. Anyway, I just thought I would introduce myself and tell you a little about myself-- I look forward to reading your posts and getting to know you all better. Thanks!

                Welcome !
                We hope you can get some support here.
                I believe in holistic stuff too, but I also realize that
                given what I've been thru, I'm never going to be med-free -
                there's room to eventually reduce the amount of meds I'm
                on, but I'll need meds for the rest of my life. I'm both
                sad and angry about that, but I will never forget where
                I was at before, and I never want to go back - it's good that
                you are open to meds, because they CAN be a huge help.
                To maximize what you can do holistically;
                check into books by Dr. Daniel Amen (amazon.com)
                Counseling can also be a terriffic help, if you jive with the
                counselor well.

                  -*FREE* chocolate
                  -easier disability application process
                  -the ability to say "I'm done" and walk out of any situation
                  -the ability to put every obnoxious person, ass, power-hungry jerks, idiots,
                  behind bars.
                  -the mutant power to aflict others with our experiences for 48 hours -
                  to teach people what it's like/put people in perspective.

                  I'll think of some more....

          Talk talk talk
          what should we talk about?
          What's going on in your universe that sucks so much?

          Remember you're strong, and you've been
          thru worse, and you made it before...so you can do it
          again. Call your counselors Ben & Jerry; take some time
          for you ( a bath or somesuch) watch silly videos on youtube
          www.youtube.com/watch
          www.youtube.com/watch
          watch some comedy videos (whoever is your favorite comic)...
          Bill Cosby, Jeff Dunham, John Pinette, Gabriel Iglesias, Patton Oswalt;
          Lewis Black, Frank Caliendo, Robin WIlliams, George Lopez, Dana Carvey;
          all good favs of mine...
          -...play videogames...then go out and kick some ass in the real world.

          And dear... you're not rambling...!
          PM me
