> > Scott, I was really glad to see your apology. I was having the hardest time understanding why you were reacting so strongly to glenn's post! I notice you can be a pretty reactive guy. What's that about? (I am asking in a friendly way, not as a challenge)

I have yet to establish some balance. When I get well, I will have to find balance once again. For now, my make up seems to be mixture of seemingly contradictory features.

I consider his example and the examples set by others here to be a good opportunity to learn and grow. I know that fierceness will always be integral to my personality, but I will learn to temper it.
i appreciate the apology scott and the suggestions everyone has made,
i have to admit that anger or whatever towards others most often unreasonably has been part of my problem, i remember at work a few months ago rounding on a very nice bloke at work who was only trying to be funny, it cost me an apology too
but heck sometimes i feel so irritable and tetchy,
on a great day like last tuesday im so mellow its lovely but any attempts to repeat what seems to make a good day just dont work- tried it so many times!
i have tried dilantin but only at 10 mg and it did not seem to do a lot, also ashghawanda and lots of meditation and exercise with little result
im just working myself upto either dhea or amisulpride after having little result from karoshil the french supplement
to answer one of scotts questions perhaps you are right maybe i am trying to come up with a theory
-for myself, i find having little apparent control over this depression and anxiety so frustrating that im probably trying to exert some control in having a theory for why im like thisanyhow thankyou again for all the replies
