Steve,
I have tried to get help and talk to someone BUT when I sign-up it's a
fucking 6 to 9 long waiting list because of my insurance, Medicaid - and that
was me going to the emergency room after talking to my GP (who hung up on me
because he had to hurry home and pack for his family vacation - I changed
doctors). I don't believe in depression drugs for my/our situation because it's
NOT going to change our situation. Bobbie
