Do you genuinely need help, first GUEST? If so, some more detail might be good.

well, yes I do. I think that I am not at rock bottom. really don't want to go there. But am scared of taking the next step. You know visiting the doctor(who in any case only want to write a prescription as fast as poss) I don,t want to moan on to my friends(those in 3D)anymore. I have made a complete fool of myself by "losing it" in a public place recently. I am just scared of the out of controlness of my life

HAve you tried any herbal remedies or aromatherapy treatmens. I know they sound a tad trite but some really do work. Cxxx

"Come to the edge." He said.

"We are afraid." They said.

"Come to the edge." he said.

So they came to the edge, and he pushed them, and they flew.

Guest, I have been where you are, and recently...in fact not really through the woods yet....can I recommend that you DO go see your doctor? Please?You may not be keen on the idea of anti-depressants....but look at it this way, if you had a head-ache would you take an aspirin? If you broke your leg, wouldn't you want it splinted? Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain...it can be corrected by anti-depressants. You may want to look at other options such as counselling, homeopathy and so on, but do it in tandem with, not at the cost of, professional help.You can e-mail me too: [e-mail]...if it would help.

GUEST, please do go and moan to your friends - that is what friends are there for. If they are real friends they will be there for you in the bad times as well as the good, and maybe one day you will be able to support them when they need you. In the meantime do seriously consider what Morticia has said. Even if prescripion drugs are not the answer to your problem they may at least help you to start to climb your way out of the "bad place" in which you find yourself, Many good doctors may refer you to a counselling service which can help. However don't worry about "losing it"; many of us here have been there as well, and while some may still be scarred by the experience, in my case I learned a lot about myself, and much more importantly, I found out how deeply my family and friends cared about me.

Yeah, Use your Friends, Guest 1, they are supportive of you as you are of them, I am sure, when they have come to you, and get help if it is possible..

They told us you'll conquer when you submit
We submitted and found ashes
They told us you'll conquer when you love
We loved and found ashes
They told us you'll conquer when you abandon life
We abandoned our life and found ashes

We found ashes. It remains to rediscover our life, now that we've nothing left. I imagine that he who'll rediscover life, in spite of so much paper, so many emotions, so many debates and so much teaching, will be someone like us only with a slightly tougher memory. We ourselves can't help still remembering what we've given. He'll remember only what he's gained from each of his offerings. What can a flame remember? If it remembers a little less than is necessary, it goes out; if it remembers a little more than is necessary, it goes out. If only it could teach us, while it burns, to remember correctly.
