Thanks for your kind words. I don't want to give the impression that I am not hanging in there. I am. I have to. I am the one that family and friends come to when THEY need to vent or talk about their problems or need help. It just would not be koshar if I was not available. So, it is easier to not divulge my own state of mind to them, and to just deal with it on my own. I have been an independent thinker and doer since early in life, so I have learned to take care of myself and to deal with my problems. It's unfortunate, but not even the pdoc I see is completely aware of what goes on in my head and how bad I feel sometimes. I know I need to learn to be more open with him because it affects the medication decisions he makes or won't make. Perhaps I can make that one of my new year's resolutions. I really can't complain about anything. I have a pretty good life. I just don't want to feel like I do for the rest of it.

> Tamara, hang in there. I think people who haven't experienced the thoughts and feelings you're talking about just don't get it. But a lot of people here do! That's what makes this message board such a good support system for so many of us.
