Delboy, I'm very sorry to read that your health hasn't been the best. I know you are tired of making the rounds of doctors, but there has to be someone out there that will really listen. It may not be depression at all, but something that mimics it.
I live not far from where I grew up and things have changed quite a bit since those days. Society is not what it use to be...so, how is it going over there in your world?
You had mentioned that you had seen your xw. Is she still searching for herself or has she settled down? How is the rest of your family doing?
Don't give up on the medical professionals. Someone will come up with the right diagnosis for your condition. I know it's difficult to stay positive, but you live in a beautiful land and the people, music and talent there are quite wonderful.
Please continue to post...your thoughts that you shared w/us made us think and still do today.
Please take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
