The holidays, statistically speaking, are a time where a lot of people succumb to depression. I thought it was important to remind everyone that while we are a wonderful support group, MDJunction really isn't equipped to deal with people who are depressed to the point of wanting to commit suicide. I know this is a touchy subject, but unfortunately, we can't avoid it. Suicide hotlines can be found in the following places: http://suicidehotlines.com http://www.suicide.org/suicide_hotlines.html If you yourself are considering suicide, please contact one of the hotlines. If you suspect that a friend or relative is considering suicide, please direct them to the above sites. It's better to potentially offend someone and have them tell you that they aren't that depressed than to let them go through with a suicide attempt that actually succeeds.

I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help. I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days.
Something has changed within me/Something is not the same/I'm through with playing by/The rules of someone else's game/Too late for second-guessing/Too late to go back to sleep/It's time to trust my instincts/Close my eyes and leap...I'm through accepting limits/Cuz someone says they're so/Some things I can not change/But till I try I'll never know/Too long I've been afraid of/Losing love I guess I lost/Well if that's love/It comes at much too high a cost/I'd sooner buy Defying Gravity/Kiss me good-bye I'm Defying Gravity/I think I'll try Defying Gravity/And you won't bring me down...
