I have a problem with SAD,as my 2 sons, and I use the light,but like
Mrs.d the vit. d has helped so don't use it for as long as as did..Music
also helps me,but boy I miss dancing.. Hey Mel think of it this way
even if he's gay,maybe he likes to cook,clean,and he's purty to look
at. We have had some crazy weather almost everywhere ,this year,
usually not so cold,but is in Mo. this year.I can fly over the snow
in my Electric wheelchair,but it's not so easy trying to walk over
it on a walker.

Mel that was a mean thing for your Mom to say,sounds like she had
the problem,because as they say ,you can always loose weigh. She
was trying to make a problem she had your's and we are not talking
about weigh.. I have a problem going out ,sometimes it's hard to
do so many things that were so easy before,like getting dressed,
taking a shower without falling,getting any kind of excercise..Right
now with the PICC not being able to take showers..A Wellbutrin
helps,Billye the tests are a good idea.Psychiatrists..psychologists,
counslers,neighbors,kittys like Karens Baxter and Yorkiemom's yorkie.
whatever hobbies you can still do or teach,grandbabies,even if you
can see them on conputers,because there far away..And good
sweet cyberspace friends who haveee such good ideas when your
depressed,and we all are once in awhile..I'll be complaining how
hot it is soon. Your all just the best,feel better Susan,I can't
remember where I got my last pair of down slippers and I need some very
soft leg warmers,helppp. Hugs All Sue I think.

Don't worry, I don't go nuts. I like to have as less stress as possible. and I love to laugh. I actually enjoy eating my fish, and greens and anything that's new. I even know about Quinoa. Most people never even heard of this. You have to wash this very carefully because it has a natural pesticide on it so you wash it before you cook it. Has a nutty sort of flavor. Very healthy protein, so I have been told.

I know about Chromium. I have to pick some up.

bye for now.

These 'days and nites' and the weather? I'm almost ready for one of those visors...
Not quite a depression, just a 'dampening' of anything good in life rite now. And I've some little things to feel GOOD about. More later, maybe...
I always, ALWAYS compare my state right now to some prior times...then I've a basis of comparison and hit myself on the head and can say "IT'S BEEN WORSE!' So I'm crabby, I'm not sleeping well...well? I've been far worse...I just don't LIKE to be THIS way!
It all makes me THINK, re-THINK, and again Re-re-THINK about where I am in my pain and where I am in this world! Hey! I've got a few things going for me?
I am 'diagnosed' of a sorts. Far Better than many, many others.
I am being treated. Far better than others.
I am still mobile, luckier than others.
I am still left with a functioning brain [tho some may quibble here] that helps me decide how to continue with what life has given me.
I am GRATEFUL for what all I do have! I no longer mourn what I've lost, but have learned to appreciate little things...I do resent that I've lost lots, but at the same time, I'm learning to learn what I still HAVE.
Life is fragile, and a gift. We have to use it to the best to really give and in the giving get back the better part of all of us.
