Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 I don't think this train of thought is way out there it all. It makes sense, reminds me of the movie Lorenzo's Oil. I am like a lot of this group in that I had/have problems with sleep and depression. I was on many different chemicals (physicain prescribed)in the last four years. For the last two months I have been on NONE. I decided to find out what was really me and I feel better, more grounded. I am less prone to depression and I am sleeping well 70% of the time which is a huge improvement. I think the doctors are way too quick to prescribe th new antidepressants as they view them as safe and a first line treatment. I am not saying that some of us don't respond well to RX treatment, because I know that isn't true. I am just saying that in my case none is more. I feel like I have my life back and in my control. I was talking to a friend that has depression and is in a bad marriage. One of the smartest things I ever said was antidepressant therapy cannot make the intolerable tolerable. For me that was an important realization. SO now I am back to activly designing the rest of my life. Not to say depression couldn't hit again, but I do feel better informed and prepared to deal with it. ) Vicki (in CA) > Just can help but wonder....do we get fat on our brains...that cover the > myelin sheaths of the nerve connections?
