How very interesting. My stressful period started about mid 90s with increased (ethical) problems at workplace and a whistleblower situation (yours truly) by late 90s. Ended up forced to take a disability retirment under extreme pressure. Filed a civil suit a couple years later but ended up having the court dismiss it last year - about two months before my second round of severe anxiety and depression really exploded (my first round started about a year after I filed the lawsuit and right in the middle of all the depositions, etc.). The actual "trigger" of the current event was a, well, family loss, but I've always felt that there was some delayed reaction to the civil case loss also.
Oh well. I know that for a few months there that everything was fine, what, about 4 months? There's where I want to get back to!

> Hey Elroy. I forgot to share with you a very important aspect of my mental health program. This is a book by Eckhart Tolle called "The Power of Now". I've just been through the most difficutlt year in my entire life and the information I utilized from this book, in addition to vitamin G, has not only preserved my sanity but has brought me to a level of awareness and emotional/spiritual maturity that I never imagined possible.

I've got a court thing going on (civil) and have NO intention of even cutting down until THAT is over, which should be in another month or two. Using the information in the book coupled with the power of faith I just talked myself out of a mounting anxiety attack!!!
> Elroy, it sure is good to know that there is somebody else out there that's trying to deal with this crap!
