Depression

“I hear ya CG. Some days I feel like that too.”

“making someone else have a good cry can also make you feel better”

“If I punch hyway to hell and make him cry, will that make me feel better?


:)”

“hey cg, hows about a crazydavey to cheer you ups”

“if you do it while naked it will make us both feel better.”

“Thanks, Sgt -
I needed that!”

“LOL gojo

hyway - A tip from somebody in my groom party on the wedding video .... "If you have to fight, fight naked, it's more fun that way."”

“Thanks Sarge...you are going to put me over the edge!!!

:-(”

“i don't know if this will make anyone else feel better, but i'm doing ok now. i managed to break free of depression's grip for now.”

“Oooh, this is one of my favourite threads. Odd though, it's on an outdoor forum. Maybe I should find a forum about Depression, to read more about outdoor activities (VBG).

"If you have to fight, fight naked, it's more fun that way."
Sarge, that's a good advice. I will print it out and hang it over my desk here in the office.”

“Y'all keep your heads up and eyes open today. I'm pulling for you.

Pammy, I can't send you my son - he's in jail and I'm trying to spring him for rehab.”

“mmmm...on the other hand, it's more likely to find some depressed on a backpackers forum, rather than finding good backpackers on a forum for depressed.
I'll stay with this forum then.”

“Thanks Sarge...you are going to put me over the edge!!! - Princess

You give me too much credit. Only you can do that.”

“Toejam...big hugs to you! I feel your pain and know it well. I hope he will get to rehab and it will be successful.

Nigal...I love the pic!!! EXCELLENT!!!

Sarge... :-)~

I'm feeling better today..I think the weather changed helped. It is just really crazy right now..the boss is stressed hence the employees are stressed. I am going to be pissed though if I have to work Saturday because he has spent more time on his "projects' instead of accounting this week!!!”

“I hope everyone has a better day today :)”

“Nope.”

“Another price raise on fondue cheese, again!”

“Man Euro...that tough!!!”

“Who is Princess?”

“but what about...... JARLSBERG?”

“you mean CARLSBERG? Hell, did they raise the beer price as well?
Now I definetly need to go on suicide watch.”

“Duc aren't you following the Halloween Handle thread?”

“http://www.maniacworld.com/cat-falls-in-garbage-can.html

This will cheer you up!”

“Yepper, Yuro - you're more likely to find depressed folk on a bp'ing site than vice versa.

Seems bp'ing has steadily decreased since it's heyday of the 70's, and depression is prolly the opposite...

I'm feeling rather froggy meself as a result of cooler weather, btw.”

“Sorry duc...I reread that and thought it was pretty rude. Princess is crazygurl halloween costume”

“I forgot to wind my suicide watch.”

“"but what about...... JARLSBERG?"

I prefer Madrigal for a baby swiss.”

“Wow, that was rude, even for TT!!!!

I would never treat you like that.”

“You must've said CARL-ING....

Hey Mable.... Black Label!”

“"Seems bp'ing has steadily decreased since it's heyday of the 70's, and depression is prolly the opposite..."

Good Lord, gojo, I hope this isn't true. If it is, I hope it's not because too many bp'ers have been either institutionalized, drugged up or killed themself. Hopefully they just got lost on the trails and found their way straight into bp'ers Nirvana, where they happily wander ever after.”

“i'm sorry to hear that dismemberedtoejam. i have a son who is so clueless right now, i often wonder what it will take to wake him up. he will soon be homeless, again, he's running out of people to use, still hasn't got a job (for the last month. still drinking. what is this kid's bottom. and how is it that i raised him the same as my other children and he turned out thusly?”

“On a lighter note, who are you, thirdterm? I mean Carling - 'Mable, Black Label' is out of the Canadian 50's and 60's. Just curious.

Pam, hang in. I've been there and things are a lot better now. After rock bottom, things have to change and for the better if you never give up and are always there, but not as an enabler.

Things are not so bad for me, I guess. It's a little hard to function as I have been a little too busy for my own good.

Friday I went to the closest city for an MRI on my right knee, Saturday morning was opening season for deer and the Canuck-style Good Ole Boys get to-gether for a BBQ at noon before going back in.

We were a bunch and this isn't all that easy for me. Someone who doesn't know me all that well remarked on the fact my hands were pretty shaky as I was putting on some mustard - I replied that it wasn't so bad.

Our rugby banquet and Trophy awards' night was that evening and I had five presentations to make and that didn't help.

I was pretty quiet yesterday, although I managed to hunt in the evening.

I saw my doctor to-day and she gave me a copy of the psychiatrist's report that my therapist had sent me for.

I had to 'phone AMEX to say my payment would be late, but they told me I was up to date (hard to keep track). And so that's good.

My school board sent me to a private psych in the City (Montreal) at 8.30 and I left at 6.30 only to arrive 20 minutes late and they wouldn't take me. The board sent me a letter saying they were suing me for 1 054$. That would have sent me to the hospital except that my best buddy's wife is a lawyer and works (for me) for fridge magnets (Mt. Rainier kept me in her good books) and an occasional bottle of port. She said it wouldn't fly and I guess their lawyers said the same thing because they sent me a letter saying they were dropping the suit and would schedule appointments later in the day for employees in the country.

My doc says I'm doing as well as can be expected, maybe better.

To-morrow I have my second MRI on the other knee and will be operated on by the same surgeon as the Montreal Canadiens before the end of the winter.

The private psych wants to see me again in six months and intends to put me on permanent invalidity, from which I shall retire (good, but a shock to see it in black and white).

Could be a lot worse.”

“Big hugs to you! :-)”

“Peace Grem.”

“"thirdterm" was my halloween costume.   Hey, it's supposed to be something scary, right?     < WINK >

Good luck with the kneebones!

Has Euro recovered from the Fondue Price Shock?    (at the current exchange rate WE are the ones who are hurting, cheese-wise)”

“Yeah, it could be a lot worse. Read what RichB is going through.

Money doesn't buy happiness.”

“Hang in there Gremlin, ya hockey puck!”

“Just keep doing what you need to do to stay healthy. And know there are people who care about you. Hugs to you Gremlin.”

“I'd hug Gremlin, but he's so dang short.”

“NOT trying to start anything on this thread. Only offering a thought for consideration.

Depression can kill you just as surely as cancer. Often times more so. It can't be radiated. It can't be cut out. For some people, much like chemically poisioning cancer, chemically treating depression does have some positive effects.

Lost an ex-coworker to schizophrenia that manifested itself late in life. His father had struggled with it. His son is struggling now.

I have also lost people close to me through cancer.


There's not much to chose between the two sides of the coin.”

“Lee...I can't speak for Sarge...but I don't think he meant anything by it. It is all a horrible thing.”

“hey Gremlin, you are in my prayers! and i am not doing to badly myself. quitting office depot seems to have done the trick really. i really truly enjoy working at schools again. yes, i have been having quite the yo-yo ride lately, but it's nothing i cannot handle with the help of God and good friends.”

“Hey Gremlin since everybody else is hugging you I want to join the big group hug. Good luck with....uhm, I haven't understood the details of your story, but hell, whatever, good luck :-)

I have recovered from the cheese price shock somewhat. I have found myself something else to look forward to and keep myself busy. But then, bad things happen all the time. This morning, when I came into the office, I discovered that we run out of chocolate again and my colleagues had taken the last almond-honey-chocolate without me having any of it. I think I really need a big hug. Please?”

“Peace Brother.”

“Thanks crazygurl. I read lee's post and have no idea why he addressed me. Not only did my post not contradict anything he wrote, but it didn't even touch on the seriousness of depression.”

Keep on keeping on, Bro.

"permanent invalidity", that a Canadian term?
I'm shooting for "permanent disability" myself.”

“Good grief Euro Hike, do you live in the land of chocolate and cheese or something?

I missed the "cheese price shock". What exactly was that?”

“Thanks, everyone. A lot of people and many that I know are worse off than I. I'm in a position where I'll be all right financially - and I will start taking courses for a certificate in translation. I'll put my name in the papers when I pass the entrance exam (easy) and will take one course at a time and not too much work just to round things out.

You're right, Stovey, I was translating (he says while slapping himself on the wrist for a mistake even before he starts).”
