For me, BIG TIME supportive! Thank you, all, for seeing me through a really rough few days. I was certain I was going to end up in the Emergency Room and instead I ended up on Psych Central. I am not going to be like an Academy Award recipient and list every single person who responded to me, many of you multiple times, because you know who you are. Oh heck, I will say thank you to the esteemed little turtle, BudFox, Skeez, von, prefab, Dave, rcat, Fuzzy, Valentina, George H., bluekoi and kindness as many of you responded multiple times. Also Nickname who I call Nick, and just a bunch of others like the guy who suggested I try wearing broccoli around my neck! A joke -- and I actually laughed, which was shocking as I had not heard that sound come out of me for some time!

I am sorry I can't name you all due to my lousy memory -- there are so many of you -- but you know who you are, and DechanDawa loves you all! I am especially thankful for the suggestion to exercise, exercise, exercise. Also, to be pointed to ACT, and of course, my old friend CBT. Spiritual practice and meditation are also important to me. They say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it also takes a village to heal mental illness. In this case, a global village. Thank you, sweet peeps. You rock big time!

I think I may have broken some kind of record for the number of posts in a 24-hour period. In my defense, I was bedridden with a nasty horrible head cold, and with no cable TV, Neflix, or magazines. Thankfully, PC supportive peeps were on-call 24/7. I feel so grateful. Love you all to bits. Dechan PS I am eating animal crackers - a happy food. This proves my depression has started to lift!
