Thanks, you made me laugh. I know they probably just aren't thinking about what they're saying, and to whom they are saying it, but I did find it humorous.

Recently I tried to explain to my doc how I felt about changing the medications I'm on. He was saying it was no different than taking a heart or blood pressure medication. I felt there was a big difference because it has to do with changing your moods and outlook, kind of who you are, and it's not always a positive. His next question was to ask if the emotional pain did something for me, did it have some sort of significance for me... What I couldn't explain at the time, but can see now, is that it was the known versus the unknown. I can try to deal with what's happening in my head, it's familar. Mess it up with some drugs and their side effects, and what's the guarantee I can still deal. I don't know, I guess they mean well...

You're right too, about it not being an easy road to walk. I'm learning that now. But this place, and people like you make it a little easier.

Thanks again for the chuckle, Quay
