Perhaps one good thing about having a blog is that even one’s silences can say something. It occurred to me today that I hadn’t  written a thing here…and I was off to such an eloquent start :} . But…the timing for my silence perfectly matched my most recent bout of depression. After fighting it off, I relented and saw the VA Doc and started an anti-depressant. As so many do (often to their own peril) I thought I’d ‘tough it out’ (ie, try managing my depression sans meds.
It got so bad that I was praying each night to not wake up — being gutless in that I cannot end it myself. But, started on a low dose of Celexa (Citalopram, 20mg). and about 3 weeks into it I felt the worst of the darkness lift…So…I feel I’ve sort of rejoined the human race…thought I’d mention that here, on the outside chance that anyone reads this/cares…
