| I still have the full array of emotions, just not SO intense. It's like my highs aren't as high, BUT this was the important thing for me, my lows aren't as low. I don't drink so I can't really answer about that, one more thing I want to mention about depression/anxiety and my experience is that I ha... |

| I was very much against meds. I was afraid of the side effects, too. My compromise was to take just a little. I get a lot of the benefits, and very few side effects. I take 25mg. of Zoloft. I break the 50mg. tablets in half. After I had been taking Zoloft for a few months, I decided I didn't need it... |

| Thank you Brennan and druidbird. I tend to get fixated on something and it will be a relief to send the card, and feel that I have properly thanked him. I wish there were more people like him in this world that just plain cared. I've been to lots of medical professionals and they're usually courteou... |

| Hi, I've been a long time reader here and finally decided to "jump in" :lol: I have a son who was diagnosed with autism and attends a special school. When I learned he had autism (I had no idea autism even existed before his diagnosis!) I started reading all I could about it. I was so shocked to see... |

| My father died when I was 7, so I guess I started thinking (obsessing) about this at an earlier age than some. I go through times when I read everything I can about near death experiences. I was raised in a strict religious denomination (almost wrote demonination-oops). I remember going to camp when... |

| I really liked your suggestion, druidsbird. Thank you, that's exactly the kind of advice I need. I've decided to buy a fairly plain thank you note, and have put some thought into the past few days and come up with the following, what do ya'll think?

| I'm 37 and can certainly associate with what you are saying. I find trying to "fit in" exhausting. For years, I attended social situations because I thought that was what I was "supposed" to do. Honestly, the older I get the more I want to be home with my family and my music (my obsession :) )I espe... |
