Thanks. I got the first step down, and that's getting insurance. I wasn't eligible for any due to pre-existing conditions until the health care bill went through. Now I am on the high risk plan. I know the bill screwed over other people, but I'm one of the ones it has helped. Now it's just a matter of finding the right doctors who will work with me. As for the insight, I could go on and on about these kinds of things. Like I said, my depression is secondary, originating from my frustration. However, at one time it was primary, but again, not nearly as bad as others I've known. My best friend has bi-polar, though I swear he is stuck in the depression mode. Knowing how he was, and how this has effected him gave me real insight to what depression was about, even before I had it. I honestly think that people who go through these kinds of things, whether it be a medical condition, or hard times, etc, become more understanding of others and more compassionate about people's situations. Not to say others aren't compassionate, but I think it's to a bigger degree when it's effected you or somebody you love. Maybe it's because they are suddenly on the other the side of those judgements, and they start to understand that things are more complicated than the one size fits all opinions. Obviously some never learn, but I think if anything, it's experiences like this that give you more insight into the world around you. I'm sure it makes me more of a bleeding heart, but I'm okay with that.
