She probably downloaded some(thing)l from an online pharmacy.

Look in the paper, or go to VolunteerMatch.com, or talk to your friends and neighbors and find out where you can help. I will bet that you won’t have to worry about a shrink – you will be too busy worrying about your neighbors and your community.

Check out the Veteran’s Hospital or any hospital – there are people who need to be visited, or have help for their families. There is no reason for anyone to be feeling sorry for him/her self – there are so many people who need just basic help. Go give it to them. You will be glad you did what needs to be done.

I have learned over the years that the best way of getting over depression is to take an interest in helping other people. Yes, I know that sounds really sappy, but it is true.

Almost a total lack of real personal communication from people, in a dog eat dog atmosphere, that offers multiple high-tech ( expensive) ways to stay in instant,constant communication.

The couple that Razzbar cites ,Airhead and Macho,reflect perfectly the new age lovers taking over america. Don’t think,talk,or express,just ” grunt & nod.” A friend of mine decided to change their image recently and went out and bought dish TV,the latest c-phone gadgetry,a PC with fax capabilities, and I-pods and 5″ DVD players.

Two weeks later they were seeing a shrink bi-weekly because they had become suicidal from desperate lonliness and lack of communication ( from anyone?) the society producing the above laughs at personal honesty, openess or group sharing… missing the point that they’re really laughing at themselves.

They worship themselves, by ignoring the other person, showing a paranoid defense mechanism with their devotion to expressing themselves through their gadgets and toys.Yes, it’s a greedy, self-loving, and expensive ” New Age” living … or should I say dying, ever so slowly, while other’s watch, do nothing, and talk about it on their Toys!

I have often wondered about the human characterisitics of many of the posters here on the site. But I also wonder that should the Guardian ever posit the idea of meeting at a local establishment for the purpose of meeting each other how many people would take the time and cast aside those fears to actually show. Great post Razzbar. You allowed us to be voyeurs through your eyes.
