Hi Stranded, I would agree that it seems that depression runs in families. Of course, I wish that were not the case. All four of my grandparents were alcoholics. At least my one grandmother found AA. My poor dad, a vet of WW2... his generation never spoke of this sort of thing; never showed any weak...

I'm trying.
Last few days have not been good. Project at work that isn'y very fulfilling (and its a long slog); wife is going in for surgery; and my son has been in a depressive place. Thing is, when I get get anxious and depressed, I'm not emotionally present for my family. I feel responsible for everything. E...

I've been on Wellbutrin for so long that I've not considered the possibility of dependence. Perhaps that's something I'll bring up with my psychiatrist at my next med check. Ya know, I was considering joining an Improv group, but they have a sort of corporate desire to perform. I wouldn't want that ...

Of course, I have no idea as to your taste in music. For me, though, music has brought a lot of healing and peace into my life. I know we're not supposed to have links in our posts, but I will tell you that you can find these artists on the U-Tube. A healer for me: Shamanic Touch by Sufi's Life (fro...

Heyya 100footpole, 51 here. There's a few things that help me keep it together. Making art is a HUGE part of it. I discovered ceramics about 3.5 years ago - more importantly, I suppose, that I was good at it. I coupled that with a musical outlet: taiko (or Japanese) drumming. Pottery is, by nature, ...

I woudn't be able to pin it down for you, certainly based on my experience. For myself, I tend to withdraw when I'm in a depressive cycle. It could be that people just don't know how to deal with someone with severe or clinical depression. Or, if you're like me (and we joke about it in the family), ...

I am a Farce and a Sham
Yes, I got your email where you told me I was a farce and a sham; that I could not possibly be spiritual because I block and ignore people when they are of no use to me. You do know it has been 3 and 1/2 years, right? No, I am not throwing that fact in your face. I bring it up because so much has ch...

No Free Lunch
I swear, sometimes it seems like the universe needs to balance its scales... I had a great week last week. Came into work today. Made two client-affecting mistakes and screwed up my time sheet that resulted in a comment about "we'd really like to keep trusting you, but..." I suppose its ok...

Conditioning to a Negative Mind Set
Sounds clinical, but it's not. I've noticed for myself that I have these shortcuts in my brain that go straight to depressive thought. Or maybe more accurately, "feeling tone." The trick for me has been finding ways to re-set the pathways. To disrupt the pathways to (what seems like automa...
