  In the absence of easily verifiable proof provided by the administration itself . . . this is definitely sus.

  One thinks . . . if the verifiable evidence WAS available . . . the admin would be parading it all over the place.

  Shot in the head and killed . . . buried at sea (WTF?) . . . and a totally disinterested Pakistani public.

  If it were true . . . surely the Al Queda honchos would be at least denying it!

  Just some encouragement about the counselling thing . . .

  You mentioned being hospitalised for a panic attack . . . classic for a Depression Anxiety disorder which is what I have. My first panic attack lasted 3 months . . . full on shakes rapid heart beat . . . just wouldn't stop . . . I used to hide in the closet when the phone rang LOL (well it seems funny now).

  It took a while to get the drug regime right but when it was achieved it gave me breathing space again. The counsellor I had was an amazing guy. He answered all of my questions . . . explained the science of the chemical imbalances the max mentioned earlier . . . drew pictures, graphs . . . everything. Knowledge and understanding of this nature is of immense value . . . knowing why this is happening is where hope will find it's foundation. Knowledge is power right?

  The people that took responsibility for my treatment and care were awesome. I recall being quite sad at my last counselling session as my counsellor had become a genuine personal friend to me . . . we even hugged when we said our final goodbye.

  I look back on it now as such a positive experience . . . I'm now drug free and am managing OK.

  Hope this helps.

  And to make it a full set . . . they've just had a magnitude 5.0 in Nelson (about 7.00pm local) . . . widely felt throughout central NZ

  If you're quick you can see how it registered on the drum here in CHCH in the OP . . . the readout updates automatically so it will be about 2 hours older than this post

  In fact . . . all that time spent telling us "where she was coming from" in order to establish herself as 'unbiased' was so overdone that it made it obvious that she wasn't.

  Good for you deservingone . . . that's what this place is for. As things improve (which they surely will) be sure to persue your love for music.

  My 3 young sons are all musical and play in bands and jam together. Funny thing . . . they are always grizzling about how they can never find a half decent lead vocalist! There's opportunity for you there. Check out the muso clubs around your style of music and tell them you can sing . . . you might be suprised where that will take you . . . maybe a hell of a good time doing something of value with people who value you. . . a good measure of happiness can be had there.

  Well your post wasn't boring for a start!

  And there's a personality of color and value showing in your words deservingone . . .

  I could be wrong but you may well be suffering from clinical depression . . . which means your perception of yourself is a result of THAT and is NOT founded on reality.

  There's always some who will reinforce your negativity . . . in order to feel better about themselves . . . and those opinions tend to stick and get replayed again and again when your feeling as you do at the moment.

  I'm just coming right after grappling with mental illness for 7 years after leaving WT. Your expressions have a solid ring of familiarity to me.

  Did you know that alcohol is a depressant? . . . the temporary relaxation and escape it offers has a long-term effect of compounding a depressive state.

  Also . . . mental illness is hard to recognise, but strikes a significant proportion of those having issues with, or exiting WT

  Have the courage to take your concerns to a medical practitioner . . . I did, and it was the best move I ever made.
