Hi Anna:
I only asked where you were from because I'm curious and amazed at how far-reaching our little "psycho-babble" community is. Dr. Bob should really be proud of what he has created here.
The UK, huh? The land where benzos are thought to be from the devil himself? I spent a great two weeks there in 1999 on "holiday", as you would say.
"BTW" is computereze for "by the way".
BTW, fair is fair, since you told me where you're from- I'm from Los Angeles, California, USA:)
Dave

The one I visited, who gave me my diagnosis (chronic severe double depression*), is one of two that I am aware of in this country. It will be him that`ll be treating me when I eventually go into hospital (about 3/4 weeks now).
