sometimes I wonder if its actually just the recognition that we are not well and somebody listening long enough to diagnose and prescribe that actually helps, it probably doesn't matter if they give us smarties, skittles or SSRIs, if you are the kind of person who believes in the pill it will work for you.

You've always been a source of inspiration for me, LittleJem. I rarely post anymore and usually only check in at my lowest or if I'm thinking of putting plans into place.

It's always a nice distraction to read your latest inputs and do some research behind the ideas for myself. You never know - you may find a special mix one day.
