:corn: Amazing.

Are you sure? It is an overplayed episode with the same characters. I am sure, I've seen this one before.

And there's the trifecta. Predictable. No professional opinion, then, Dr. Awesome? And Crassic, you joined in just for that? Well here I am to make sure the party of troublemakers and bitches is complete. :D And with that said...

I do not have experience of taking anti-depressants and I have enough respect for the posters here -all of them- not to wade in with the usual jokes and piss-taking, but I want to say this:

I think Dana makes the best point at this point. Everyone is fighting their own demon in their own way. The sword didn't work for Gandhi, Peaceful dialogue did not work for Boudiccea. And yet both are heroes and won their own battles. Let's support each other in whatever way each chooses to fight, whether that be denial, self-help, or medication. It's the end of January, the worst time for depression. I am glad we are all still here and functioning enough to fight it out.

Does anyone need a barf-bucket now? :lol:

Yup - Whats predictable is one poster getting all shitty and then you backing her up. Good for you. She was an ass and was called out for it. Where is the problem? Oh that's right it was one of your own who got called out.

Yup - called it like I saw it and still see it. Shaw got shitty with Juni for NO REASON. My point stands, monnie.
You defined yourselves correctly, on that we agree.

Yes we are, yet shitting on others for no reason is no excuse. She deserved it.

True dat.

:lol2:

I really was more interested in finding out about peoples experiences with their medications, what they took, whether it worked for them, how it helped or didn't, how long they might have been on them, did they stop or change meds, and why.

I wasn't asking if you thought meds were good or bad, what you thought of the nature of depression, whether it was a bona fide illness or personality/character flaw or what constituted real depression versus feeling blue.

I wasn't really looking for opinions about, validation of, or justification for taking meds.

I was really hoping to hear from people about their personal first hand experiences with meds.

Next time, I'll be more clear in my initial post.

You needn't worry.

Oh I know, I know.

If you love a thread let it go and if it comes back to you it was meant to be...

Rayon is the one of the most favored threads amongst professional embroiderers. It is a soft thread, available in great colors, and suitable for all forms of machine embroidery. Rayon thread holds up well with high-speed stitching without breaking or fraying and it also consistently performs well. It is easily available in many embroidery stores and in a wide range of solid and variegated colors, as well as in a "twist" thread composed of two or more solid colors twisted together to form a single strand. They are available in a light 50wt, standard 40 wt. and a thicker 30 wt.

I liked that. :thumb:

I thought that was pretty clear.

we all have our "thing" -

My ex husband was against anti-depressants because they altered your mind and, thus, were MIND ALTERING CHEMICALS akin to cocaine, etc. He is as against anti-depressants as he is street drugs like meth. He's ALSO a CCDC III with a bachelors degree and works for the mental health system for the state. so - there's that level of ignorance out there.

Juni---I am curious as to why you think your children deserve a video game more than they deserve a mom who feels good about herself?

I was referring to this BTW. Just so we are clear.

If you are waiting to feel suicidal before getting help ---- well, that's just like waiting to have a heart attack before addressing your cholesterol problem, no?

ALSO - the martyr quotient here is HUGE. Just saying.

and classic - FFS, go kick a pillow or something, wouldja? You're getting to be soooo boring with the Shawnee hate. You're the proverbial old man yelling at Shaw to get off not only HIS OWN but everybody's lawn. Other posters are more than capable of taking care of/defending themselves. Juni is a professional writer for crissakes - she can lob her own volleys, eh? You're like a terrier with a bone, man! give it a rest!

The Anti-Social Network
By helping other people look happy, Facebook is making us sad.

I wonder if the Cellar could be having the same effect on some people?

If that's the case I reckon my facebook interaction make people feel a whole lot saner. I knew I had a purpose in life!
