Fiona,

Great Idea, no doubht Chris would approve of donations to Free Republic in his memory.

Your strength during this trying time greatly impresses me.

I suffer depression too and im trying to work up the guts to post about it now.

If you start a thread about depression, ping me. I have that much material it's not funny anymore (if indeed it ever was.)

After being on about half the antidepressants known to man, shortly before I met Chris I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. But the point is, it took me more than fourteen years to be correctly diagnosed (they always just figured it was depression, despite little lapses the other way) and longer still to get the correct medication.

NBS, my strength is my typing ability... which keeps on keeping on after just about everything else in my repertoire ceases to function. :) This "strength" you see, is the brittle shell of someone just keeping it together. See tagline for further details.
