you guys suffer from depression?

Yup. Been slowly fighting my way out of it.

do they have a cause?

Nothing really clear cut. A few years ago, I tried a kind of birth control that messed me up, but I stopped taking that pretty quickly. But that was probably enough of a spark to set me off on a downward spiral, and then just about everything that was stressful but manageable before becomes magnified and no longer seems manageable. Money problems, weight problems, work stress, exhaustion...and then old demons start re-emerging. The next thing you know, you're on the bottom of a pit with all the demons snarling at you and the thing is? You don't even care anymore. You hate being down there but just can't be bothered to get out.

I get worse in the summer. And there really is a summer version of Seasonal Affective Disorder, which is more connected to temperature than to light exposure.

Good night Sharon! In the morning, I'll shoot you some links to magnesium supplements and also some stuff about SAM-e.

I'll check for your answer tomorrow. I'm going to get to bed early tonight. I have to strap myself to my desk chair tomorrow and get a lot of grading done, so I'm going to need lots of sleep and then lots of coffee!

they put me on ativan, I don't take them very often but I have some. bet you wish you did...

probably. Not quite as bad as you though perhaps. As I put it to them though, leave me alone about it because it is situational. If I was happy right now for how things were going THEN there would be a problem. I would surely be a nutcase if was happy at the moment.


like if for example your dog dies, and they say you are depressed. well yeah, no chit.
that kind of thing.
