I was battling to think of a title for this post.Not too sure what to call it.yes,I know that I havent posted anything worth reading in a while.But,I finally believe I have the answer.
I sat back and had thought for a while - I had found this wonderful forum,full of wonderful people,who at first were my 'cyber' friends - but now they are my real friends.This is a private place,but at the same time a very public place - you spread your thoughts across the page and air your views on day to day experiences and things that stir emotions.Those who read,are either in agreement with you - or against you.
The reason for my sudden absence?
In a word - a scary word - depression - the depths of which I have not experienced before.
I have not been clinically diagnosed,no need.I know the signs.
Listlessness
Insomnia
Restlessness
Ignorance of everything positive around you
Just cant be bothered anymore....

.....and then I made a decision.I called the hospital and asked them " Why do I feel this way?"
A simple question,as simple response - its the medication for your condition
So I had a choice,drop the dosage in the medication and suffer with the neuralgia that has plagued my life - but feel better.or continue with the current does of medication and feel the depressive effects for as long as is necessary.
I made my choice - the pain of the neuralgia is too much for me to handle - so i am staying on the current dose.
The depressive feeling I have in my mind and in my bones ???
Well, you know what?
I have found the will to succeed once again.
So as always - this is where i prove to myself that I am as stubborn as I had always thought
Wish me luck

    I agree with Luce here CJ my little chum.

    We'd love you no matter what drivel you decided to throw at us (only kidding!!  CJ - put that large wet sponge down please)

    I'm glad to see the old CJ returning to our pages.  One thing that is excellent for depression and is quite natural, is St. John's wart.  Any pharmacy will sell it but it musn't be mixed with regular antidepressants.  Worth a try - nothing to lose eh?

    A holy wart ? St. John had warts ?  ahem...  what do I know ?

    Seriously.... the only thing I know about depression...other than toughing it out....is that they suck.  And sometimes it helps to go to the doctor and take medication but only in extreme cases. 
    Love, a hug and lots of understanding will cure the depression and then you get over it and it's gone. 
    Prayer took away depression and anxiety for me but I don't know if everyone will go with that remedy. I can vouch that it works though.

I feel so completely empty. I've been so depressed lately that I can't seem to remember when I became this way. What happened to me? I can't be happy anymore. I can't bring myself to do any of the things I used to like. All I want to do is sit around and...
and thats verrrry naughty of me....
