Question:
"The question is, how can I live now, and what should I do…" You should continue living, as well as possible (living well IS ultimately the best revenge…) and you should do the best you can with what you’ve got. You probably have a lot more than may be presently apparent. G

In the past few days, I woke up with a feeling of anxiety and depression. It is not a clinical depression now — I know, because I used to suffer from depression several years ago. The question is, how can I live now, and what should I do… D.

Fair enough. I didn’t want to spoil the fun. The thing is many people do use marijuana hoping that they actually *will* feel better so I just thought I’d add this. Don’t worry about it (I don’t). Philip
Response:
This is what happens when things get cross-posted "occasionally". Someone says something in the depression group, who is very possibly well-known to the people IN that group, it gets floated over to a group where that person’s sense of humor, their name, etc.. are not known to the other group’s members, and suddenly "legitimate humor" becomes subject to all manner of misinterpretation. I do hope that the original poster has had some relief from this sensation, as it can be very distressing. Gary

You might want to do some Web searching about depersonalization and derealization disorders, and see if the descriptions match what you have experienced. — Nom dePlume, Ph.D. Why, yes, in fact, I am a rocket scientist.

Hello D. Everyone’s been through this — a feeling of "disconnect" with everything else. My belief is that we wake up feeling this way because it is the exact opposite of the truth. On my great days, I am connected to the trees and the grass in my backyard. I seriously feel like singing when the birds are singing. I’m excited about everything, and connected to it all. On those days when we wake up and don’t sense this connection, it doesn’t feel good. That’s because its unnatural. Our natural state is being connected to everything around us, and for a moment we’re like a computer that has lost its network connection. About fifty years ago, Russian scientists started giving their olympic athletes an herb on a daily basis. This herb grew in the mountains of Siberia, and they called it Arctic Root, or Golden Root. It was ostensibly to give them greater physical powers, but the athletes took it because it made them feel better about themselves. It sharpened their connection to the rest of the world. There’s been a lot of serious science in adaptogenic herbs like Arctic Root. You should find this and take some daily. There are many brands but the best one is made in Sweden, and it is called Arctic Root. Others use a less-powerful form of this herb, Rhodiola Rosea, but if you can’t find Arctic Root, go with whatever you can get. I have been taking it for several years and it is a wonderful, wonderful thing to wake up to in the morning. DGJ
