Thanks for the posts everyone. Jon I always appreciate your help. Yes, mood sensitivity is big with me. Like if I feel that I wasnt kind enough to someone in some tiny little way, I feel like the biggest scum on earth.
And to Viengsome and Alara, thanks for the good intention,and I leave open the possiblilty that you are entirely right with me, but I personally have my doubts. Do you really think that this pessimism, depression... could be helped by counselling? I just dont see how my having to re-read a sentence 5 times could be helped, and just to tell you, I really get no enjoyment out of life unless I am not sober. By the way Alcohol completly re-animates my life and helps every aspect of every problem.
My hypothesis is dopamine dysfunction, and ssri's (st. john's wort too)and other ad's have bypassed the chemical problem. But please let me know if you think I am creating a self fullfilling prophecy or anything like that, because I know Ive been wrong before. Thanks so much, it helps alot. Tom
