> That's great you feel free of those feelings, and are available to connect to those you love. Can't get better than that! And don't feel bad about the dog analogy, I REALLY love my dogs. They are almost like people to me. I know people who aren't dog people don't understand. But who's there when no-one else is, not judging you, just wanting to play or lay on your feet, or on your lap? The adoring way they look into your eyes....

> ~JadeHey Jade...thanks kindly for the post. Yes, for me, the ultimate point of any/all psych meds is to be able to help communicate and show love better (and hopefully get some in return too ;-) I used to think, the important point of psychiatric intervention was to get yourself feeling better "put-together", but 16 years later, yes that is somewhat important, but by Geezus, I wanna love and love because nothing feels as good. I thought antidepressants would "toughen me up", but here I am, not caring about that, and am quite happy to be doing so. Glad you like and understand the dog analogy...I think we all should have pets, because the love is just wonderful. Like you said...not judging you, the warmth, unconditional..just love for "Love's sake".
That look in their eyes always makes me feel like they are just going to open up and start speaking to us at any moment...lol.Thank you so kindly,
Jay
