I'm sure you're just being polite, but I'll post again. I've been sort of vicariously living your "victory" since last night because I've had a sucky week myself. Finished 2-week washout of Nardil yesterday (Fleeing side effects again) and went to pharmacy to pick up my Marplan. Pharmacist apparently is related to your old doctor. Shrugged his shoulders and said, in so many words "Don't got 'em; wholesaler can't get 'em; sorry 'bout that." My doctor happened to be on call (but apparently not overly motivated) so when he called back in response to my page, he said "If you can find them somewhere, I'll call in the perscription." Don't you hate it when you're feeling like crap and 'they' dump the legwork on you? Anyway, found a pharmacy that will order them for me direct from the manufacturer - on Monday. (It's okay, I can wait... That sound you hear is me chewing my fingernails)
> >See, that's because you haven't discovered the Butler G.U.M. toothbrushes! They come in even better colors!
More jewel-like than my Oral-B?!?!? I've gotta check those puppies out!!!
>> Here's the serious part of all this: my therapist had a really good suggestion yesterday about this. She suggested making posters, on the computer or by hand, that showed the things that depression steals from me. Things like "Toothbrushes come in lovely, jewel-like colors" with a picture. Or, in my case, "A well pressed seam brings great satisfaction".
>>Maybe I'll even scan a toothbrush for you when I make mine... Does it have to be a purple Oral B?Would you do that for me, Racer? Actually I do computer graphics for a living and I could scan one in myself; but I'd MUCH rather have a "Racer Toothbrush" - Definitely doesn't have to be an Oral-B - I'd rather you chose! (I've always had an affinity for things shared. My favorite perennials in my garden are those which were shared with me from someone else's garden. No matter how long I've had them, I always refer to them as "Aunt Mary's Daylillies" or whatever.) Thus, my "Racer Toothbrush" would be a cherished "Look How Far I've Come" memento. I've added my e-mail address to this post. If the scanning mood strikes you, I'll be a happy camper to receive a toothbrush!
I'm so glad I stumbled onto this BB in May. Maybe the silver lining of my last Trip to Hell - to find you and all the others here! Don't want to get mushy here, but I do have a lump in my throat right now.
