5/10/01<br><br>Dear "a stormlady"<br><br>I have
been depressed since I was a child but did nothing
about it until 40-yrs. of age. I have lived with my
"rage" all of my life and I am now 55. I now take
15-pills/day and see a psychiatrist twice a month for
psychotherapy so you can see that I have put a great deal of
effort into feeling better and presenting a better image
to the public. I have been married 3X during my
lifetime and my present husband to whom I have been
married 21-years, had a motorcycle accident 10-years ago
leaving him with a traumatic brain injury. Since then, I
have had to take on "all" of the responsibilities that
comes with marriage. I have no regrets about this
marriage because he is a good man who has worked "very
hard" to recover from his injuries. <br><br>There were
many times that I wanted to take my life but,
obviously, I'm still here! I will "NEVER" give up because I
know that God wants me here for some reason.<br><br>My
advice to you dear "stormlady" is to hang -in-there and
don't let the world beat you! We are all here for a
reason and in time we will find out that reason.
<br><br>I am doing well in my therapy and feel very proud
of myself and how much I have been able to
accomplish. My friends and family tell me that they see a
tremendous difference in me and that sure helps me to feel
better about myself.<br><br>DON'T GIVE UP!
