> These posts make me realize how depressed I've been. I have had trouble functioning even in basic ways. I could ocassionally fake it for very short periods of time then would collapse back into the darkness again. I haven't had anyone to help me so I left a lot undone. As I said earlier, though, I'm feeling better, which I can only attribute to the 5-HTP. (I think the better feeling actually started in the last half of December shortly after I first took it, but fluctuated because of the holidays.) I've been able to do a little more lately and think about what I need to do (even that was impossible for awhile) although I don't think I'm out of the woods yet.

> How do you find a medical advocate?I use that term to describe someone who is close to you, that you trust, that will go with you to appointments, that you literally trust with your life and puts up with you (you as in me) will help keep track of things...a challenge with me, cause i always hear things backwards...I swear, swear that it was the other way...I sometimes even speak backwards...saying the complete opposit of what i mean.
I think there maybe ways to get help through otherways...there was a series of posts from Cindy, is it, who is expecting? and several people gave advice about this topic. I will look to morrow and see if I can find them for you if no one responds.
mouse popping up again...
