If you're thinking of dismantling your blog because you think it isn't palatable then..don't. I haven't read all the way down, but what I have read gives the impression of a woman who has some stuff to say. I agree with you about the psalm quoters...it's a little difficult to stomach.

Okay now I'll read a bit more ..and then I'll probably comment again and say.."On second thoughts: DISMANTLE!!! DISMANTLE!!" (Joke...I hope you get it.) And the anti depressants..they can kick off a whole new set of problems... the pain doesn't go away, you just won't react outwardly to it.

Navigate your way through the suffering now. Then you won't need chemical alteration. Be courageous and honest with yourself, reorient, set some attainable goals. Take steps forward.

Delete posts if you don't want to keep them. It's your blog. You can do what you want.

Think of the blog as a scrapbook. Keep what is meaningful to you.

nonsense, your blog is good.

as for antidepressants, I think it's worth taking a look at... depression is insidious, requires more than advice or a "stiff upper lip" to mitigate, and it can lead to more serious issues.

I'm not big on prescriptions myself, but my wife has recently begun a course of antidepressants, and she feels much better.

Gorgeous photos. Where are they taken?

Now that I've been blogging for a few months, I get the need for community (duh). I started my blog to chronicle family events for far away family / grandparents, but none of my family members ever comment. It's fine to talk to yourself, that's great, but everyone wants to be heard / understood.

Regarding anti-depressants:
I was on zoloft + wellbutrin for 4 months (not dealing with stress in my life well - work stress, remodeling nightmare etc) and zoloft took the edge off my anxiety but I had the usual side effects. So we addded wellbutrin which felt great for a few months and it counteracted the zoloft side effects. I was ambivalent about taking all that medication. But it was a good jump start to tackling my work issues. Also the drug cocktail gave me freakishly vivid dreams which I really enjoyed but since I stopped my dose, my dream recall ceased.

my chronicle of zoloft is at this blog:
