Hi everyone,
I've been thinking about all of you and wondering how you are doing. The last time I was here for any significant length of time, I was extremely suicidal, and many of you helped me through it. I appreciate it so much. I'm doing well. Life is a process of becoming truer and truer to one's own convictions. At least that's the way I see it. So I've become a vegan. I've always hated animal cruelty, but I never had the self-discipline to change my diet. Now I have. I think there are a lot of health benefits too. Paxil is my present AD. ADs that work always make me feel more assertive, and I do. I think I come and go from PsychSocBab because it is good for me in small doses, but if I stay too long I start to dwell on my depression/anxiety and I get more depressed. That's just me. I'm sure it's not the same for everyone. I guess I bring this up because I feel a little guilty for not sticking around after so many of you helped me through a crisis. I wasn't there to help you through yours. I'm sorry. While I'm here, I will try to be as helpful as I can be. Thank-you all for your kindness.

There's no need to apologize. Do you ever get a buzz from doing a good deed? Probably we are all a little self centered in our motives. The best comes from noticing when one of us gets better, it means there's hope for us all.
BEST WISHES

Thanks for the update- good to hear things going more smoothly. Personally, I dont think there is any kind of 'contract' re giving and receiving support here, and its certainly fine just to drop in occassionally- whatever suits you!
I feel more comfortable with myself now that I am fairly vegetarian (I eat fish sometimes, on the pretext that I could kill a fish, but not a chicken or mammal)...
Vegan diets sound more complicated (I've just been looking at http://www.vegsoc.org/info/vegan-nutrition.html), but it looks like they can meet all your nutritional needs, too.
Nice of you to drop by and say hi!
Fi
