Wow, that's quite a name. Typical presentation, actually - "my wife thinks I might be depressed" - a lot of people don't actually come out and say it directly. So... if you don't mind me asking, why DID your wife think you might be depressed?
> i figure that the beneficial endorphins, hormones, neurotransmitters we get from laughing probably make it the best medicine ... and if we are laughing the right amount, would they have us take meds ? ... but not laughing TOO much ... (!!)Laughing too much might be indicative of needing meds. Or, I guess it could just be one of those annoying people who laugh all the damn time and it really gets on your nerves. Or laugh inappropriately at things that really aren't funny. I don't know about not laughing enough. I think that many people laugh quite a bit but are really depressed too. Like me. I think I laugh a normal amount. I find humor in many situations - or should we say, I find many situations just so ridiculous that they seem almost humorous.
> i slept a lot last night and i feel better for it .. .. .. also i have been trying to push water and i think i'm almost hydrated now .. .. .. drink more water ... tastes good! ... ... this is what i'm crediting with fewer headaches for me ...I usually drink a lot of water. I think maybe it does help because I don't get headaches much.
> What do you like to take for headaches? ... i use ibuprofen.
I used to take ibuprofen at the first hint of a headache. But then I thought I was overusing it. So I really cut back. Now, I usually try to go for a little while without taking anything. Then if it doesn't get better, I take whatever. Acetaminifen would be my first choice, but I'll take ibuprofen or aspirin.
