Babble buds...Feeling very good with the Remeron and a little Ritalin and Klonopin.;-)
My outlook has changed quite a bit. Called doc yesterday and started Wellbutrin @150 mg to help me quit smoking. Hopefully, it won't stop my progress on the depression front.
I am rarely near the computer anymore because I'm busy getting myself in high gear. I don't want to sit still...I WANT to be outside doing things. Thank God for chemicals.
Since I've posted here since, I think, Sept '98, I'm sure I'll be checking in. I really have benefitted from the knowledge and compassion of the people here.
AND...knowing the nature of the beast we deal with....No longer living and dying in 3/4 time,
Phil

for a little while, at least. This makes me happy because although I like psychobabble too, checking in to kind of check out usually means you are feeling good--and you are. I hope I made sense.
I'm slowly checking out too Phil, and wish you the very best.
Good luck on the quitting smoking. That was one of the toughest things I have ever done. It's been 3 years now, and I still have my non-smoking diploma from the Lung Association up on my wall.
peace & love forever, Janice

getting outside? golf co. job?
Sounds like you're out of one bunker and into another ... ;^)
[personally, I usually avoid the bunkers by hitting my ball into a neighboring fairway]

cheers,
bob

This is my wknd to work, so just a short post.
I am feeling much better. The last two days I built a rock garden in my little yard, did a ton of clearing and cleaning the outside areas. Then...the inside, holy shit. I cleaned everything in this place and I mean everything. I've always smoked in this place and almost needed a hammer and chisel to clean the windows, etc. I no longer smoke inside, ever! And in a week or so am going to stick on a patch and give no smoking a chance.
I'm still at the golf place till I find something else. About a month ago, I told myself, as bad as this job is, I will not let it beat me. I will learn what I need to learn to be very good at it. I think that attitude was partly a catalyst for what's happening now.
Sold my drum kit, ouch, bought a lot of new clothes, including a suit, which my brother helped with. NOW, when an opportunity presents itself, I'm ready.
I don't like hitting bottom but sometimes I thrive on adversity. I'd rather not be tested so much in this life but realize that lessons keep repeating until they are learned. More BS'ing later...gotta go.Love,
Phil

Phil, good for you! building a rock garden and cleaning windows sounds like progress to me (it's all I can do to get up and get dressed, most days!).--Cindy W
