    I read your post yesterday and was so angry I would
    not even reply. This morning I have had 24 hours to
    get my thoughts together and post a reply that is out
    of thought and not out of passing emotions.
    Two weeks ago my thinking was “off” as we all know
    due to GD. I was on the roller coaster ride you see
    people talk about. Yes, GD causes severe depression
    at times. I had had a very difficult day and could
    NOT quit crying. I couldn’t even talk in the chat room
    that night. I pulled myself together enough to post
    a message and was flooded with support from everyone here.
    Prior to the GD being diagnosed, I had such bad times with
    depression that I attempted, several times, to “cut” out
    the pain by cutting myself. Irrational thinking. I was
    trying to “drain” it all out of me. I tried to “sleep” it all away but taking too many sleeping pills. That is how this disease has affected me. If you are not affected the same way, thank God for that.
    Right now I am on an even level, again. Had I sat here, in my home, alone, I probably would have done something very stupid
    and ended up in the hospital or worse.
    Kindly, thank God that you have not gotten to the
    depth that this disease can take you and don’t throw
    stones of those of us who it has affect adversely.
    I USED to me so much more. A million dollar Real Estate
    agent, aerobics instructor, etc. Last year I thought
    my son was my brother, I could not physically even walk across the street to get my own mail. I have come so far but still get very
    “down” at all that this disease has taken from me. “Of everything I have lost, I miss my mind the most” to quote a saying.
    Take care and may God bless,
    Penny
