Thanks Kathy,

I do have a lightbox and I use for my office light. I think it does help quite a bit. Anyone who has issues with Seasonal Depression should think about one! Unfortunately, I know my issue is hormonal this time. Depression is almost synonomous with PCOS. In fact, some psych docs use the same medication in their treatment of depression that I use as the primary weapon against PCOS. Next time I go to doc, I am going to ask about getting my progesterone levels tested. Maybe I am not taking enough. Sigh.

Thanks all, I appreciate the support.

I should have known you'd be one step ahead of me Pans!:H Although of course, being depressed is no laughing matter....'twas hoping for once that I had something in my bag of tricks for Felix.

Anyway, my heart is with you, honey. I'm no stranger to depression, although mine hasn't been hormonal, and I'm sending you some cyber hugs and good vibes.

Lou-Lou, thank you for thinking so highly of me. All I've done is think a lot, really. Like Tawny said on another thread, thinking or drinking--don't know which is better or worse, or whatever. Either way, I've done a lot of both. Like an armchair quarterback, I can often see for others what I don't see for myself.....

At any rate, back to sewing. I can't find my seam ripper! GRRRR.

Hugs to all!

Bit scared

i think i like this guy a hell of a lot....but it does seem that he feels the same. This is the first time iv let my guard down for a long time...an if it goes wrong how am i going to cope....he is so sweet and knows all about me..he is also a mental health nurse and works with the likes of Ian Brady (moors murderer) so i s'pose i cant shock him that much!!!! thing is i really do think iv fallen for him in a big way....i just hope i dont get hurt cause the way i am at the moment it'd kill me!!!

30 days for me!

I was adding up what I would of spent on alcohol/cigarettes for 30 days and I have saved a total of $625 (approx.) buckeroonies! HOLY CRAP! (I have been marking on my calendar what I have spent on ciggies and what I would of spent on them plus the alcohol). That is a small fortune that would of gone into the toilet!

Lou, just be you.... One thing I would like to say however, is to take it slow. When you are coming off of alcohol, one can be very vulnerable. However, I remember the days of having a crush on someone. It is pretty exciting! Just make sure you take care of you first and then the rest will fall into place.

For the rest of you all.... have or try to have a great day!
