> Lol. I hope you were not trying to tell me something! I have suffered from depression for about 20 years. I think it's a combination of a chemical imbalance and an extremely bizzare, traumatic and stressful family background. All the while feeling a sense of alienation. I think mental illness runs in my family, but unfortunately, the previous generation had too much pride to admit it and get help. Thus, my childhood was full of insanity. I think it is heroic for people to seek help in this society that stigmatizes mental illness so much. Good meds and a peer group has helped enormously. I wish you well.Crass,
Thank you so much! I've got a similar background also. Your answer gave me hope!
Thank you again
