It's been a few days, I know, but I have been way too busy to post. My head also hurts due to the change in air pressure and weather.

I do feel the need to at least post and let you know that I am still here despite the pain in my head.

Speaking of pain in the head, I just wanted to say that I wish that Tom Cruise would disappear. Who gives a s*#% what he (or Michael Jackson, for that matter). They are both clearly out of touch with reality. Why that is news worthy, I don't know, because there are many pedophiles and latently gay people our there who don't get the same kind of coverage. I know how we can solve the problem though...

Turn off your television.

That said, there is a lot being thrown around about the whole use of medications to "cure" things and I have the personal experience to share with people. I agree that the drugs do help people to get their heads around life when they are depressed. I know because I have taken them.

That said, I also believe that there must be a reason that we are suffering from these chemical imbalances or other things that are causing it. In my case, while I was being treated, there was no investigation into what caused the drops in serotonin. It was not until much later that I discovered that I suffered from lack of proper digestion and thus was not absorbing the important vitamins and minerals into my body. I wasn't getting enough nutrition and thus I became depressed.

Had I known this, I would have gotten advice on how to get over my digestion and absorbsion problem and not have had to take that "happy" medication. After two boughts with depression, and a dose of the hard medicine about how to change my entire philosophy of eating and exercise (from a very knowledgeable naturopathic physician and a clinical counsellor) , I can gladly say that I have not felt depressed for about 3 1/2 years.

I had to mention this today because of all of the hooplah about Mr. Cruise's comments of late. I am highly suspect about his "You haven't lived through this, I have" crap. He needs to go back to what he is good at... oh, on second thought, he doesn't even have that. After all, he may be in movies but he certainly cannot act... But I can tell you how not to be depressed.

Turn off your television!
