Well, that's certainly one way to reply.

And still another would be, "Wow, a lot of people have been in that boat. And look at the turnaround!"

Or, "That's exactly how I'm feeling, and this is how I'm working on it."

Or even, "Hey, at least you're obviously not so far gone that you aren't even considering a remedy. I mean, here you are, on these boards and all."

Personally, I've found that misery loves company, particularly when the company has experience pulling out of the misery. I respect the fact that you've obviously been on the boards a long time (nearly 900 posts), but, with all due respect, I think you could have posted something more constructive.
