Is it that hard to find positivity? I guess so, but not for me....

Well, good for you, Homer. I'm glad you never felt you had to, ah, "cop-out."

I've said that I don't understand deep depression. I'm sorry if that possibly offends you. Best wishes to you.

You say you don't understand deep depression, but then you make asinine comments about how it is a "cop-out." That's what offends Homer. You can keep your patronizing little kissy smiley to yourself, thanks.

Wow.
I guess an apology won't do. I've said that I don't understand your plight, and the kissy was meant to let you know that my wishes for you both, were the best, but that wasn't taken well either. Sometimes you reap what you sew.
Goodnight.

Perhaps we should get rid of the smileys. They're meant to help with words being misconstrued, but clearly, the meaning is lost. At least in this instance, they are.

I meant it's a two-way street. My good intentions, and depression ignorance, were met with very harsh words. I was simply being honest. That's all.
I've stood up for you on several occasions, Lux. Best of luck to you.

Are you a weak individual?

And you were surprised? Claiming that a disease many people suffer from is, essentially, fake, is supposed to generate understanding from those very people you put down? Don't come here telling me depression is a "cop-out" when you know jack **** about it.

Anyway, best of luck to you.

You implied it. And accused me of implying it. I was simply wondering your opinion.

I guess I was assuming I was dealing with people who were on an even keel. I apologize. I was clearly wrong, and again, apologize.

You're a smug bastard.

I'm just being honest. That's all.

needed to get this off my chest. I hope I make sense. I've been dealing with depression relating to having some childhood problems, and it's really effecting the way I live. When I was younger I spent alot of time shuttling to Special ed schools because of my ADD. It was pretty bad, I took all sorts of meds back then.

I heard a statistic that 70% of adult men do not outgrow alll the symptoms of ADD .I had and have ADHD pretty badly myself and was diagnosed at 7 and put on ritalin.There is a newer drug called Strartera that might work well for adults .I have some revervations about trying it though.

I've often wondered if the amount and types of drugs "we" took in the 70's is in direct correlation to depression?
I digress.

Did you read all their posts? And my repeated, unaccepted, apologies?
Low perhaps, but I feel it's accurate. And that's my honest opinion. That is all.
