You ARE lovable. You ARE worth much. I know this, even though I don't know you, because your story tells of a complex introspective person who has a lot to offer. You WILL find a drug that works. And you WILL laugh again.
Here's a joke to get you started. It's stupid, but it made me laugh, even with a groan. Here goes:
So a man goes to his doctor with an unusual complaint. "Doc," he says,"I have some very odd symptoms. My leg talks to me!"
The doctor is unconvinced. "That's not possible," he tells the man.
"Seriously, doc. My leg talks, all the time. Listen to it! It's driving me nuts. I don't know what to do."
So the doctor puts his head down to the patient's thigh, and sure enough, he hears a voice! It says, "Can you give me fifteen dollars? I need fifteen dollars."
The doctor is astounded. "Your thigh talks!" he exclaims in consternation.
"That's not all, doc," says the patient in excitement. "Listen to my knee. It talks too."
So the doc puts his head down and listens, and a little voice issues forth from the knee. It says, "Hey, I need ten dollars. Can you give me ten dollars?"
The doc shakes his head, perlexed. "I've never heard --" he begins.
"But that's not the end of it," protests the man. "Listen to my ankle."
The doc bends his head once again and hears a small voice from the ankle: "I need five dollars."
The doc leaves the room and pores through medical books, trying to find something -- anything! -- that can explain this phenomenal event. Finally he rushes back into the room smiling and bustling around.
"Aha!" he exclaims to the man. "I've figured it out!"
"What it is, doc? What is it?" cries the man.
"It appears," says the doctor, "That your leg is broke in three places."
------------- pause for laughter --------------
OK. I know it's bad. But kind of funny, eh?
Hope you have more things in your life to make you smile.
Take Care.
