  the following was forwarded to me, and i post it in its entirety, with a few edits for clarity, without comment.. ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ .

  many of my friends are well aware that i'm not the slightest bit religious.

  with other friends the subject has never come up - and might never have - i'm not much of a proselytizer.

  i've seen how some are so burdened by the fact that they were witnesses, that literally, every day is a struggle.

  are you in need of therapeutic help because you are or were a jehovah's witness?

  jehoshua1914-

  I can see your copy and paste works quite well. Why dont you start your own thread and see if anyone responds to it...instead of muckying up other peoples well wishes and conversations....surely sombody at the hall had to tell you it is rude to interupt?

  Yes, much to my dislike, I suffer depression. I get it honest. It runs in my families crazy blood. Being a witness just exasterbated it. But so did a lot of other items including avoidance of the problem. Just because bad things happen to me did not make me depressed. It was simply a case of learning coping skills, being better informed of how depression works. Taking meds when the response to situations cannot be controled by me and my biggest battle is learning to relax.

  There are other family members of mine who go to therapy and go to therapy and go to therapy and never manage to live. I think therapy is living to them. Me personally..I think it is just another way to have someone else control my mind. I have gone to therapy and if it can be kept in its proper place as a way to have someone help you channel your thoughts and help you reach conclusions by thinking, then by yes by all means go to therapy. If it means that I have to have validation as a person by a therapist who is just another person, then I dont think I would be better off than by remaining depressed....for that is a pretty depressing plight to me.

  To anyone with depression, get the help you need and move on. To dwell on the fact...I mean DWELL on the fact you have depression is a sure fire way to stay in it. Treat it....and keep living. Living is much more fun and fullfilling.

  i walk alot in the summer time, usually about 5 miles a day when it's nice.

  i never eat too much, so i don't gain weight.

  a few days ago, i bought 2 ten pound dumbells and elastic bands and hand grips at walmart... i exercise with that about an hour a day.
