is the true mom and a follow up note on depression.

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone for your support. While I may be responsible for starting

the list, is the true list " mom " . The only thing I did that

contributed to this list was 1) starting it and 2)being wise enough to ask

to oversee the list and pick out others to help oversee it. This

list is hugggge now and it amazes me. I never, ever imagined having 200

people on this list, let alone 2000!

, I owe you for managing this list so wonderfully while I was in my

own world. Thank you!!!!

Again, let me emphasize that what ever physical problems may be cured by

the DS surgery, please make sure to get help with the emotional, mental

problems you may have.

I truly can say that I would rather put all of my 200 pounds of excess fat

back on me then be as depressed as I was.

Let me give you an example of how severe depression can be: I would

literally drive down the road and think in my brain that it would be much

easier to drive into a pole then continue living like I was. Of course, my

rational logic side knew I had airbags and would live. I now thank god for

my airbags otherwise I think my depression would have steered me right

into that poll. Something to think about!
