super topic, gus! presently i'm going thru a rough time of it with depression BUT....i've had 20 years of stability prior to this recent episode. i am so grateful for the wonderful T and pdoc that helped me transition from an alcoholic, bipolar state, not wishing for life anymore, to a productive member of society. i have 20 wonderful years of sobriety too and no amount of depression can flail that! i cherish my freedom from that disease.
life is work sometimes but worth it. i'm glad i was willing to learn to do it better and stick around for the show. no regrets on that note.
