Depression stinks. I recently got on some anti-depression medication. I wasn't aware that I was depressed, it was my husband who noticed. It hasn't been a huge change-just less feeling blue. Bjarne, if you come to California, I'll drag you to the Renaissance Faire-- another time for you to try!! Sharon

I also am prone to "DEPRESSION" The blackdog. It has many names... and I'm not talking the blues. And burn out can be a close cousin too. First check that there is no semi-hidden physical cause. Didn't you just have an operation? are you still taking meds? sometimes this can have an effect that you don't even realize. Are you getting enough sleep? Is it real sleep? Aren't you in an area where it's daylight almost constantly right now? Then move on to the so-call mental cause (although I think that this is really a physical cause too. Physical depression is an illness, like diabetes or a broken leg.) professionals will help with medication, if necessary, talk therapy if necessary and retraining you brain not to be drepessed (almost always necessary) If it's burn out (minor or major cases) you got alot of good advice. (I'm listening in because this is a good support system. And I don't have an extended family to listen too. And I have too much of a tendancy to be a burnt out middle aged woman.) remember that we all love you, and stand here around the world, on the internet, for you if you need us. Sometime your family is not what you're born with, but what you end up with. Think of us all as long-distance cousins!!! We will keep proding you This is Mia in Charlotte...you're always welcome here, it's ungodly hot right now, 90s with ozone alerts, beacuse we lazy american are drivning all over the place. And Ruth Anne, I'm probably in the same age range as you. I consiously cultivate younger friends so when the older ones "leave us" I'll still have a bit of support...My grandmother taught me this. Thank you all for all the advice and support Mia in Charlotte, NC --------------------------------- Sneak preview the all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different.
