Thanks Serenity.

I've always underestimated how much self care is involved - sleep, vitamins, exercise, no alcohol. It doesn't seem to take much to upset that unsteady equilibrium.

"My Dr. tells me the mind can only take so much before it will shut down on its own - A defense mechanism if you will..." This makes a lot of sense. I've been to the point where things get so compounded and worried that I really can't function anymore and my mood crashes. I never thought of what's happening in this light but now it will be enormously helpful to know what's going on.

Distancing myself from She helps. Sometimes it seems O'dog doesn't care but that's not the case. O'dog is just taking care of himself.

I'm going to keep working with dr. This depression just comes and goes and I'm just not 100%.
