Putting my happiness in somebody else's hands rather than finding it within is similar to buying a bag of pre-cut lettuce or buying a head of organic lettuce. The pre-cut lettuce is a little phoney, who knows what chemicals are in there to make it fresh & you always get some rotten leaves at the bottom of the bag! Organic is fresh and wholesome. You have to work a little to make a salad, but you know you're feeding your body (soul/spirit) something that is truley good.

I've been treated for clinical depression & PTSD too. Thank God for anti-depressents. My brain chemistry is skewed for many reasons - most of them self induced when I was young & dumb. I liken antidepressents to insulin for a diabetic. You'd never tell a diabetic to "tough it out - get over it!."
