Thanks Tensor!
Fi is a nickname I had. Actually I'm Scottish, but we're both European?! Thanks for the pdocs translation.
I'm on Prozac all the time now, which has stopped me having any bouts of proper clinical depression. (Also had years of therapy that didnt seem to make any difference-now stopped).
I'm lucky that I've never had any problem with side effects, and delighted that life is now much less likely to be blighted out of the blue. Its been great- after a gap of several years I've now been on holiday a couple of times without problems.
Now its just the natural pessimism I've probably always had, really.Calvinistic gloom?!

The only things I *know* will happen are bad things- anything good is a bonus at the time but cant be predicted. It would be great to have some realistic hope- at the moment the best I can do is to tell myself nice things *may* happen, but that's not much cop...
