I somehow missed this latest downtime, regret I was not more perceptive. I wish I could deliver a magic fix, but I'm not a cure, I know. I've been trough the depression route (Hawaii - Fairfax time frame) but somehow a switch was thrown and I realized I was mired in feeling sorry for myself and the people I cared about were the ones who were suffering almost as much as I. I was choosing to be unhappy. I was in that realm too long and finally decided I needed to get out of it. Don't know what the motivation was to get out of it, but it did just happen with time. Not to say it will or should take as long, but id did take a few years. The thoughts do indeed creep back during personal down times, but I've found so far, different mechanisms and ways to push them to the back and not let them interfere with the journey of life and the pursuit of happiness. I've found pursuing happiness, things I enjoy is the best way. Not always easy or convenient or possible, but I find tis the only way I can cope and stay sane. I think I'm doing okay, and hope you can find your groove as well.
