My heart goes out to you...I didn't mean to imply that trash TV or even good books are a cure-all for depression, because there isn't one. What I meant to say is that even though I normally occupy my thoughts with rather, umm, different and more complex subjects, for quite some time I was so bottomed-out that I couldn't focus long enough to concentrate on anything but the most juvenile type of entertainment. I was almost down to the drooling cartoon-level, especially when I was severely over-medicated on Depakote. Once again I will say that Depakote is a proven and effective mood-stabalizer for many folks, but it
had a decidedly adverse effect on me. This was nobody's "fault", just a result of how my particular chemistry reacted to this specific drug. At the same time, I've continued to improve above and beyond all expectations on enough Seroquel daily to knock out a buffalo. That's what works for me.I can only point out the things, like certain books, that helped me cope in a desperate situation. I sure as hell wish I knew something that would help everybody all the time without fail, because I would make things right for all of us. If I could.
