Hi KK See first post in this thread for the last time we ML. It does happen but not that often - say once or twice a month? The real downturn was after s(4) was born - that is kind of normal I guess. But it was less frequent than I would have liked way before then.
Hi LL thanks for peeking!
Hi Nik, Yes I think something clicked with me about the detachment thing a few weeks ago, it has made a big improvement to the way I feel in general.
Hi Shiny
H is not taking any meds. The doctor offered but he hasn't been back to ask for anything. I'm confused about it all. I am not sure whether the meds would help or not. As I say I have a friend who has been on and off meds over the years and her current bout with depression is not responding well, the side-effects are worse than the depression. It all strikes me as a bit Brave New World - if you ever read that book. It's just like the doctors are saying - oh you can't cope as cog in the giant machine, OK here take the happy pills and get on with it.
Shiny am I right in thinking that you have some expertise in this area? Can you help me out, would I be better off suggesting he go back to the doctor and discuss the meds again? As you can tell my gut instinct is against it.
take care all and Merry Christmas
Fran
