first, to jaye

i get the impression you think i am dissing the seriousness of depression. if you could point out to me where i did that, i would be really impressed, because, you see, i am still not fully recovered from a serious major depression, complete wth a suicide plan, and i am beginning to think i may never be the same person i was before. and this would be the second time i was nearly destroyed by depression - the first time i actually sent up a tiny trial balloon by cutting myself with a piece of broken glass to see how much it would bleed - i was going to slit my wrists, you see. fortunately, the tiny bit it bled scared the bejeesus out of me and i had to find another road, so yeah, i am fully aware of the seriousness of depression.

however, just because i have experience depression once while having pd and once loooong before is not conclusive evidence that it is a symptom. if it is, then so are uti's and collapsed discs and psoriasis, and several colds.

indogogo, you asked me a question, i answered without attitude or sarcasm. you can't believe you are still having this conversation? golly, don't stay on my account. but if you do, please be nice.
