You know, Mark is really onto something. Since my lifelong depression abruptly ended last September, after my first episode of *aggressively* Mixed States. . .I find myself not watching TV (except for HBO!) and not reading a lot of the daily dose of crap we've come to take for granted in this society.
And I've watched my own world view be turned upside down, over and over again, over the years. . .What it comes down to, Old School, is what do you really *want* to believe, for yourself. I chose to put more stock in the Good, even when things were unrelievedly rotten, because it only hurt *more*. . .it didn't help me in the least. . .to live in cynicism. And I was badly ripped off, by the man I thought was my husband, when I was too low to have noticed. But hey, I realized he would have really finished the job if I lived in that awful emotional space, of being ripped off, by low-life pond scum. (Is pond scum one word?)
LAMICTAL! I wuz gonna get on yr. case on another thread, haven't you tried Lamictal?! When it was addded to my (long-standing( Effexor and Dex-- thus endeth my depression.
Joy,
Zo
