[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1745034, member: 151"] Hida, seriously, seek professional medical help. If the first doctor didn't help you, seek a different one. This is a cry for help, if I've ever heard one. As a father of two, I can assure you that there is no thought more horrific to me than seeing harm or death befall my children. Your experience is [b]not normal[/b], and sounds more like clinical depression or the depressive end of a manic/depressive state. There is truth in the phrase , "Where there is life, there is hope". Things can and do change for the better. Just this weekend, I met with a friend I hadn't seen in twenty years (literally). He apologized for his behavior from then, explaining how manic depression had driven him away from everyone. I told him no apologies were necessary, I was just sad for the time lost. Some of the biggest 'losers' I knew from my high school days are now some of the most stable married folk or families I know. You can join their ranks....it may take time, but it can and does happen, regularly. [/QUOTE]
