Nancy,
If you go back to your original note that I responded
to, I quite got the impression that YOU were the
one who thought "we" weren't really "ill" or had
"depression" because "we" (whoever "WE" are?)
managed to go to work, have sex and whatever.I responded on how I am able to perservere.
NOW, in response to your last note, I can't help but
tell you to kiss my ass. I have never been (and I quote
from your note) been, "beautiful, wealthy and successful."
Frankly, the beauty thing and successful (in relationships anyway),
happen to be two subjects very sensitive to me.I am an ugly, disgusting human being in appearance.
I barely make $23,000 a year. My medicine costs me
close to $300 a month. When I "crashed and burned"
last November (attempting suicide) and again this
past summer, I was scared to death I was going to
lose my job. I have never, ever taken more than
a week off from work for illness and even that was
rare. When I was hospitalized for gall bladder
surgery last year, I didn't get a raise this year
because of the week I was off, AND I went back to
work before I was released from the surgeon.
My current revisited major depression has got me
scared, too, for job reasons. And I'm a good
employee.I handle my illness the best I can and I spoke for
myself only. When you speak of "arrogant and self-
righteous .... callous and preposterous comments"
take a look in the mirror first.janey
