Thanks for your reply, Spike. Though I'm still feeling horrible (or described more aply, trapped in an one long, seemingly hopeless experience of abject horror), each day for the last two or three days does seem to be just an insignificant tad less horrible than the day preceeding it. So, though I have a hard to getting myself to believe it in my heart, I realize in my head that you are very much right. Someday sooner or later I will 'rediscover' what it means to feel like living again.

PS: My pdoc just increased my Nardil to 75 mg/day. If nothing else, this is giving me some sense of hope because the last time Nardil made me feel well (and we're talking over 20 years ago now), I had (on my own -out of semi-suicidal desperation and disappointed disillusionment with a disinterested, '3 month wait between visits' then pdoc) increased the Nardil dosage to 90 mg/day. I had begun to feel terrific after a while. (Unfortunately, eventually the "success" came to an end as I went into hypomania, precipitating some pretty careless behavior, alarming my family, with word reaching my pdoc, who upon learning that I had been tinking with my medications without his permission indignantly told me he would no longer be seeing me.)
