		<description>I saw you come through your depression as I was going through mine. I know once a person has been in a depressive state they're very keen about the stages of falling back. You've become happier, you've learned to cope. I hope that at least, and if you ever have times when all of it's crushing then I hope you'd not post it for worry of freaking away friends. You've not posted about fighting with your Dad for ages, you've not talked about rebelling - I've taken those as positive signs. You've settled in with marriage in a way that I think has been the biggest help for you. I've never thought of you as a sympathy whore, you are 100% real and I love you to itty bitty bits. You have chutzpah, moxie, cajones, playfulness and spirit that shows you for the real person you are. Oh, and the scans were neat and original and I thought it was fun to see how a piece of old machine could make artistic pictures. My favourite is your hand with the band.</description>

		<description>I just started therapy two weeks ago to begin unraveling my true feelings about my separation and imminent divorce.  I'm fighting any and all depression with more gusto than I've ever seen from myself.  All I can say is, this shit ain't easy and I admire the hell out of you.</description>

		<description>The scans were good, the fact that you used to 'put it all out there' so to speak was the reason I kept reading on back in the day.
You know me, thinking is always over-rated in my eyes (I just called my boss fugly, in part because he is fugly and in part to prove that I feel thinking before speaking / typing is over-rated) I say whatever makes you feel the best... within reason of course; For example killing Thaiwanese hookers and using their entrails as some form of trampoline is and shall always be wrong... no matter how good it makes you feel.
"Why kick against the pricks of that great will, Whose purpose can never be overborne, And which hath oft increased your sorrows still?"-(Dante) are the words I try to live by, I also try to live by the words "No fires in rooms that don't have fireplaces" but I think that's just plain common sense. I'm no expert (as you know) but any advice anyone ever gives is always subjective and isn't always the cup of tea for the occasion (that's not an old english saying or anything I'm struggleing to make what should be an easy point) What I mean to say is I think you know, That in the end everything is going to be fine, and all the cack and crap you'll go through in life can be quickly washed away by the sweetest moment (Either the Cat or man could have a hand in that...) and most importantly you have a better / stronger / smarter charicter than 85% of the chuckleheads on this planet ergo I KNOW you'll do just a-ok (or is that eh?-ok in Canadia?)

Chin up girl, go give 'em hell and such.

Your friend in an eternal battle with the establishment AND the voices in his head.

		<description>Some issues are so deep seeded that sometimes the best way to deal with them is to write them down and get them out. So write on baby.... there's no point being alone.</description>

		<description>I think we can all relate, in some way, to what you're going through.  Can you sprinkle in a few extra fook words for me though?  :)</description>
