Re: My Scary Stint with the Gardasil Vaccination

You all make good points. I am a long term suffer of COPD and allergies. I know that one day were all going to die but right now I am trying to make my life easier while Im here. I take Flonase over the counter because I couldn't deal with waking up in the morning and having to pry my eyes open. I also think people need to take better care of themselves and our world. Wish people would have reality check like I did 5 yrs ago.

Re: Some Thoughts on Depression...

Garrison Chrisjohn — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:23:33 GMT

Hi, I'm a 59 year old, married male with major depression. I can definitely agree with you that depression can only (at this present time) be managed with varying degrees of success and the idea of recovering from it in twelve months, whatever the treatment/s doesn't happen. Otherwise I think that a Nobel Prize in Medicine would have been given out to whoever managed to make this miracleous discovery. I've had major depression all my life; though I was only diagnosed at the age of 36. Even then I was only offered Talk Therapy. Antidepressants were never even brought up as a possible option! No other options were offered, and I, having no idea of what questions to ask, was left in the dark. It wasn't until I was 46 and a suicide attempt after a major emotional crash, that my health givers finally started giving me help. I was hoping to get back to my life after a few months of group therapy; but little did I know that my trip through Hell was just beginning. Thirteen years later my 'managed' major depression still keeps me unable to work. The "middle' part of my life was stolen and my sixties are now only months away. My hope is getting very thin. Oh yes, my occupation before my world shattered, I was a stage actor. The world I left and the world that exists now are very different places. Quick recovery? I don't think so.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. How I live out the roles I have in life, mother, daughter, student, friend, citizen, are influenced by what I learned from him.

If only they would have added the words a "hero or role model" with a disability, it would've been awesome! Hosting awareness activities is tricky...I'm actually thankful that this one wasn't ANOTHER one of the "wheelchair for a day" events... I hate those-ugh.

Thanks for commenting, Bonnie! I agree with you that it's great that they are trying to raise awareness. Hopefully in place of the costume contest that day will now include some better awareness-building activities.

I think that any school trying to raise awareness is to be commended. The fact that the costume contest was not appropriate was remedied, and suggestions could have been offered about having, for example, some disabled children talk about disabilities (maybe on video to avoid embarrassment), or other awareness building activities. I don't like to kick the good guys.
