Noa, your posture reflects your humanistic world view, but my life is mine to manage. I could come up with all kinds of analysis of you, but would rather deal with human RELATIONSHIPS. You sound to me like a fundamentalist, condemning me to your version of hell (depression) if I do not endorse your version of salvation AKA Prozak. As I recall an old song, it goes, the dealer, he's your friend, but GODDAMN the pusherman. You are way out of line telling me how I should feel. You don't even know my name, much less the nuance of my situation. In reply to someone else I shared how I feel because they asked, not to provide material for you to reinforce your world view. I feel how I feel because it is how I am supposed to feel. Go rent Candyman III. I garauntee you do not want to face the horrors that will step in should I repress my very legitimate feelings. If you don't want to see how I feel I suggest your take a fork and gouge out your eyes.
