Post more or email anyone you wish. All will respond kindly and compassionately. My advice? Get to the water!! Lakes, rivers, and especially oceans have a profound affect on me. They are so large, old, and powerful that my troubles seem to shrink near them. Their sound and feel move through me, calming me and giving me their energy. Who would blame you for being sad or angry now? Not me. I have walked through (ok, limped, stumbled, and cried) my way through the valley of major depression and can honestly tell you I don't think I will ever return, because I know I can survivie it. If you want, see a doctor about some meds. They may even help with your CH pain (lithium, prozac, etc). Have faith in yourself. You are still who you were before. Sorry I'm in Illinois. For some reason, I think it would be nice to meet you. Stay tough. If you can handle Ch, you can handle anything.
