Depression

[Guest guest]

I do read this list but I guess I am a lurker....but in a good

way. I get good support from reading here but usually am just too

tired to write. After reading the Depession thread and Margaret's

(sp?) post....I had to make a response. It was such an eloquent

answer and so well considered. She makes a lot of valuable

points. As I write this the radio is playing the City of Angels

song In the Arms of the Angel. I attended a support group for

Fibromyalgia in which there was a woman who struggled a lot with many

of the issues discussed in the Depression thread here. She wasn't

able to cope and took her life. They played the Arms of the Angel

song at her funeral. As I heard it while I began this post, I had to

think of what a loss that was. She was often quite vibrant and so

supportive of other people in the group. She had a good spirit but

lost the fight here on the planet . I wonder what she would say

about Margaret's post. I believe she would have been excited to see

that someone had such a handle on the illness. We who go about our

lives with Fibro each have our own way of doing it. I am especially

glad to know that someone has posted such a great testimony here and

has shared some very good insight. I imagine it will impact some

lives. I had to say that. I know I should have introduced myself

first....since it has been so long since I have posted anything. But

I couldn't resist saying this. Thanks,Margaret.
