I just went back to read my response to Jeremy that blew your circuits. I meant no insult to him. He has spoken at length regarding his depression. I have experience with depression personally and with others I have counseled, yet I claim no expertise. I heel for Jeremy. He is hurting. I did not accuse him of weakness, but I do see the difficulty he admits he is suffering. You see "cruelity" in my words. I meant the opposite. It is my view he could benefit from some professional advice. I recognize that professional advice might be that I am full of shit. I could be, but my intent was, perhaps in a completely inadequate way, to offer help, not a "hack job". If I could see the truth in your take down, I would be shamed. I need your help in seeing it. My hope was to offer Jeremy helpful advice, not to be cruel by minimizing his admitted unfortunate condition of depression with apparent bouts of mania.

I would appreciate your take in more detail, especially if you are a professional in psychology. I take an ironic view that if I did a hack job, what ever that is, it was a piss poor one. If you look at my words again, you will find no accusations of weakness or attempts to minimize Jeremys difficulty. He is hurting.
