Fair point - I've just been to see quite a few different people (Gp's, counselors etc) and they've all said it's not clinical depression so I've just assumed I get the blahs every once in a while. It has been quite a while since I've seriously considered it, more just an occasional fleeting thought.....
I would never do it though, I have a son and sister who love me too much for me to be that selfish.
"No-one who decides that scientific evidence is not for him and that his own experience or the stories of others is the be all and end all of deciding what's true ever has the right to call people searching for reliable, repeatable evidence narrow-minded. That is hypocrisy of the most laughable kind." Derren Brown - Tricks of the Mind.
