    snicker. i have absolutely no idea whereof you speak. i love black. technically, it’s not my best color. neither is white, but i wouldn’t wear it much anyway, because it shows everything! my shirt/top and pants are most vulnerable, but sleeves, even shoes and lower part of my hair, depending on its current length, are not completely safe.

    i also have essential tremors, a global dystonia that affects my head, i have tics so sometimes i have little jerking movements, both upper limbs, and occasionally my lower limbs. it really affects my whole body. the point is, i have times when it’s hard to keep my salad on my fork or my soup in my spoon. yep, this makes for an inconvenient double whammy!

    @shilde: meds do not work quickly enough to actually take hold and truly be effective over the course of the brief voluntary hospitalization. Really, almost all hospitalizations serve the purpose of holding tanks. I’ve talked to many people who’ve had that experience. I’ve also treated people professionally after-the-fact, helping pick up the pieces after ineffectual and partial “treatment” during such hospital stays.

    Most days, most weeks, I couldn’t cry if my life depended on it. This is one of those I’m breaking down signs. Oh well.

    Thank you for your reply. No, hospitalization would not be helpful. I can’t job hunt there.

    I am saying this… I have little left. I am in the US. Peeps are delusioned to think that having insurance means having access to care.

    These se homeowners own more than one house now… Impeccable credit… Finely tuned house shopping criteria… Plus a house that is guaranteed by several parties to sell and close in less than 30 days, given its location, condition and this market. So this will happen quickly.

    What some don’t grasp is the fine difference between severe depression and having suicidal intent. I wouldn’t kill myself. No way. But I am very much that depressed. I cried most of today. The worst part is knowing the “professionals” aren’t. The system leaves it to liberal arts educated twits to refer to medical prescribers. It ensures patients’ needs aren’t met. It’s hopeless.
