See, the answers to my prayers: a man, finally, willing to date me! On the other side of the world, no less.
And now that I think about it, might be the perfect relationship: we'd never fight about our (lack of a) sex life, we'd never have to get jealous from watching each other notice other people, and since we're anonymous, we'd never have to worry about calling out someone else's name in the heat of passion!
Thank, Nony, I'd date you, too, if only because you're obviously a person of rare discernment and taste to appreciate the finer aspects of me. Isn't it funny? Here we are, suffering from something that makes most of the world perceive us as less than attractive. They can't understand this sort of dispair, they don't empathize with us in our pain, and they certainly wouldn't want to get involved with a depressive. Here, though, on the inside, I can see that most of us on this board are intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate, generous, and able to find humor in this hell that we're going through. It's really sad. I think we should start a movement to make depression a desireable trait in spouses and employees. After all, how often do you find traits like that in one person? Wouldn't we all want to find a mate who was as supportive, warm, generous and perceptive as most of the people here, even if that mate required a bit more support than a "healthy" person?
Wow, I'm getting profound. Must be time for my meds. It's still true, though. The people here seem to me to have more to offer on the whole than most of the folks I've been dealing with in the mental health system here.
(BTW, an update. My boss got involved yesterday. Anyone think that a call from the President of the Health Care District might do any good in my case? Anyone besides me wish you could be a fly on the wall when the psychiatrist's office gets a call from him on my behalf? I'm gonna make a statue of my boss, and have it put up in the parking lot at City Hall. She's the very best in the entire world, and I am so lucky to have her.)
