Thanks guys!
Actually, I had a friend who swore by 5-HTP for depression. I wouldn't mind taking that on the side. I don't want to even start thinking about when the meds will eventually stop working, or whatever. I should try and live in the present; and in the present they're working just fine! ;-p
I have the most intense love for German Shepherds too.. it's like I finally found my calling, ha ha. Volunteering is bringing a sense of wholeness to me. It's one thing I'm extremely passionate about and can act upon! Woot!
I've found the key to my happiness is structure and keeping busy. Sometimes I feel so busy it's hard to keep up with everyone, and every thing. For some people, that may bring about unwanted stress.. but, for me, it keeps me in line and in tact. I've commited myself to a lot of physical activity and I just feel SO much better. Ah, I feel incredible! I could go on and on about it, but I won't!
