Update

I've gotten in touch with the clinic.

First, there's a phone interview to get a rough idea of how bonkers I am. Then they'll put me on Paxil for 12 weeks. Then there's an evaluation. Depending on how the treatment goes, they'll start doing some cognitive-therapy-something-or-other for free.

I've been going to the gym daily. It's helped to keep my mood up in the mean time.

However, my fingers are still too fat...

Yaaaay for you, Jeff! I'm on anti-depressants at the moment too. . hopefully, only temporarily. . . I've never been prone to depression, but I am prone to lots of aches and pains and when you've had them pretty much 24/7 for 5-6 years, it does begin to take its toll.

I've put on weight since my son moved to WA, so I'm going to start excercising too! I'm even going to buy a bicycle this weekend. . .

Good luck to you, Jeff. . . I'm pulling for you!

Keep us posted on the details, Jeff!

Have you ever considered volunteering at a nearby SPCA? I think being surrounded by cute dogs might help out, if only in a minor way. It's definitey therapeutic.

I've thought a lot about it, Lena. The problem is, I'd get too attached.

And yes, doggies would help a bit.
