I really appreciate that. I found it hard to moderate and be personal at the same time, so I stopped sharing my own stories very often.

But here you are not giving up, trying again. I agree, that's what love is all about.

I so have no judgment for those who choose to give up, but it's why I always encourage folks not to. Everyone has a breaking point, but nobody truly knows what it is for someone else. We feel for folks so much, that in being 'nice' we often tell someone not to let their spouse treat them as a doormat, or other similar kinds of things....give them 'permission' or encouragement to give up....and some people give up long before they may have.

I'm glad you're meeting with your doc this week.

A lot of docs don't do the follow up that's necessary, and I don't really blame the docs, but there ought to be a process in place, where there are really frequent followups on these meds. I think even more than once a week. But doing so would imply legal responsibility, be expensive and patients still wouldn't show up.

I served on a coroner's jury where a guy killed himself after his wife left him, about 2 weeks after being on zoloft. Broke my heart. And I believe his docs office did try to get him in for visits in between. He didn't get a chance to feel better. That was about 2 years before my DB days, but it motivates me here.

I've been accused of being loyal to a fault. But as you can see a glimpse--Michele personally and her work have saved my life and my family. And my relationships. I believe in it with my heart and soul.

Even more recently Virginia herself has helped me. She can take a tough stand, but I haven't met a more gentle person I do not believe.


Have you read anything about Michele personally and her mom?


Hang in there. You will start feeling your groove in not too long.
