that's great pegasus, you're a success story.
but meds and therapy didn't just drop out of the sky did they?
you had to take some initiative to get them and it helped, so good i'm glad you're coping.
btw, my wife has depression and took meds for 4-5 years but now sees a chinese doctor (drives 50 miles) and is on his herbal medicine, so i am not unaffected by depression...i just don't have it myself.
i do have my share of personal problems regardless.
