Thank you! Thank you! I couldn't ha...Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I couldn't have put it much better.<br /><br />"The next person that tells me to smile gets shot in the face." Or a few broken bones ... your choice. That's my addition to the concept. Sometime you just need the physicality for the "release benefits" that ensue.<br /><br />I'm depressed not retarded. Excuse me ... I meant "special needs". Grrrrrrrrr! I'm so tired of being judged or asked to "turn that frown upside down". Hmmm ... where'd I misplace my brass knuckles? I'm not defective. I'm just depressed. Stop (crack) trying to (smash) fix me (crunch), to make yourself feel better (thud).<br /><br />My fave to date ... "Joe. Sometimes you're just no fun to be around." Well then ... take a fuckin' hike & get out of my face! :) See it made me smile to say that!<br /><br />Depression's been my middle name long before I moved to Seattle. Even though my mother thinks the D in my initials "JDS" still stands for David.<br /><br />When asked, "have your tried antidepressants" my stock answer is, "No. I prefer heroin. Got any?"<br /><br />I am the only cure for my depression. (No drug. No root. No berry. Is going to change that.) I own it. I maintain it. I embrace it. It's a part of me. Thank (insert your deity of choice here) my depression is not 24/7 365! And even if it was ... deal with it bitches! I do! :)Joe Strenohttp://www.go2jo.comnoreply@blogger.com
