Having read your column on the IMJ website, I was struck by your 4thrightness in dealing w/ depression. The emotional valleys that I’ve travelled occassionly have made wonder whether or not I was depressed, or just in a momentary funk. If I see a glimmer of hope having read about your ordeal, it would be that despite the fact that depression can anchor one down, u’ve found a way; while perhaps not defeating it, at least u’ve managed 2 cope w/ it. U sir r an inspiration 2 those out there who have life’s weight upon their shoulders..that u can still achieve, if u believe. Yeah, the preceding line is hokey, I know, but I believe it 2 be true.
Thank u 4 posting this, and I wish u continued succsess w/ all that u wish 2 achieve.
