Hey Kaz....to say you are a woman or female sounds daft? *chuckles* nahhh it doesn't...
I'm 33 and of the fairer sex also , to call myself a girl doesn't sound quite right to my ears, maybe because of the experiences of life that I have been thro...anyway....that would be an interesting discussion on the 'British English - The Sequel' thread...don't ya think?
Sorry to hear Kaz, that you have also suffered mental health problems in your past and it sounds like you are coming to terms with how you feel. I do hope that doesn't sound condesending... anyway..pleased to meet you
Apatheologian - *phew* thats a name my mind has difficulty in pronouncing in my head even... nice to see you too, seen you on the god thread

Hi maniacal vixen, by nature and by name?
Emotional/mental problems impact your life tremendously, but they do have their upside. I think you become more compassionate and understanding, and also learn to understand yourself and how and why you work the way you do. I wonder whether people without these problems spend the same amount of time navel gazing? Of course maybe they are out there living, which I am envious of, but I do like to make a silver lining to every cloud!

errrr...that weird, I coulda sworn that I answered this posting a while ago....was having problems earlier, mebbe it didn't register..
How bizzare!
Yes my name does reflect my nature, also has other meanings too....altho not of the pornographic kind which it tends to get taken for on yahoo....
Anyways, yes emotional stuff tends to affect everyone around you as well as yourself and as long as you try to remain objective about your emotions - recognise them for what they are, it helps you be more empathic to others responses to your emotions, before they perhaps get out of hand
Navel gazing? *chuckles*

nevermind, it was a poor attempt, and it was also an effort to get you to talk a lil more about yourself...
Are you at least feeling a tad bit better now, than what you did at the very first posting of this thread that you started?
Do you still want to live in other words?

Taking medication is never a case of "taking something to make feel happy!" The whole point of medication is that it brings your brain into a normal state where you don't OVER-REACT to things and make yourself unhappy over stuff most people ignore! I'm on meds but that doesn't mean I go around with a fixed grin and glazed expression; it just means if something gets me down it's something that would get most people down, as opposed to something that would only get a depressive down. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

The worst thing about depression is that your brain doesn't have the chemicals to produce positive thoughts, so it's like you think it's your fault when you just need a chemical tune-up. So give medication a chance and then you will be a new person because your brain will be capable of better thoughts.

You can get thro it, if you believe that you don't need meds..thats a positive thought and not a negative depressed one, which means that you are fighting against being depressed...ahh think...
Whatever......so...errrr.....ok....what next... flynn?
