Annie, thanks for thinking of us.

Thank you everyone for sharing parts of your life here.

As for me, I am not clinically depressed, but I definitely have some issues that cause me emotional problems. I have learned many methods to help keep me sane. Since the sources of my problems (at least the big ones that normal people do not have) are not within my reach and I cannot do anything to eliminate them, I have to learn to live with these things. Vitamin B definitely helps as well as sunlight (of course in small amounts), deep breathing (for the stress), meditation (to fall asleep), Mestinon (necessary!!!) and so many other things help me deel with this mountain of issues I carry around with me.

The biggest help is nature...to see a flower, sunsets, sunrises, birds, plants...to feel I am a part of it all helps me greatly (those Magical moments Annie mentioned). Music, writing, drawing, thinking and reading (I so much miss being able to read normally, but still I read) are all a part in feeling better about myself.

We all have to find what works best for each of us, we are all individual in our method of healing, I am still learning new ways to make life better (and it feels like with every step forward, something pulls me down 10 steps but I keep trying).

Like you Annie, I am not okay and it does help to accept this fact and to talk about it. Only then I believe can we begin to heal, to make what we can of what is left of our life. The thing I realize that is lacking from my life is other people...I have been isolating myself and now I feel locked in...I feel a great loneliness and a need to talk to more people (I love my kids and husband but it is not enough talking to them only).

The thing that makes me mad recently is the realization that possibly MG and definitely many other illnesses are caused by our culture and all of its pollution. I knew of the diseases caused by pollution before but only now have I became angry. I don't need something else to be mad at right now...

Thank you everyone.
