Gardener, I just want to share that I started taking antidepressants today. If you knew me and my super-duper-alternative-health-foody background since birth, you'd know that that is a huge step for me. I went through years of (needless?) agonizing depression in my 20s and I promised myself I'd never allow that again. But I'm not satisfied that I'm doing enough to get out of the pit that being abandoned has left me in. So I'm taking the drugs as an experiment to see if it helps me to start DOING and truly work on GAL. 'Cause I haven't been great at it so far. Part of what gives me hope is that I've seen friends start antidepressants and that just gave them the boost they needed to start taking concrete steps to make their lives better.
Anyway, sorry for talking about myself in your thread. I don't know the background to the previous posts, but it sounds like your friends are concerned about you, therefore so am I. It breaks my heart see how desperate our forum friends like mb28 and DestinyUnknown have become, and that's partly what motivates me to try something new.
