It says more about them than you. They're a parody of themselves.

7. Sorry you had to endure that from some of our more insensitive, regressive members.

Brush them off. They are unimportant.
What is important is that many more here care for you, including myself and my wife.
Depression and medication for depression runs in my family.
It has been a life saver for more than one family member.


Some here are regressives, yet claim to be "progressive".

8. I can see out of context sure

but thats the problem with Jury's. there is no appeals. Like am I supposed to say I'm on meds. this is a joke. . it's an old joke. Yes I do like the candor about us medicated folks. Not that its where I want to be which is why I try to create humor about it. Thanks for the bump up. Just can get grueling at this time of year. I can understand why even some people leave somehow Facebook for the entire year. I can't imagine. I had it since 2007 and rediscovered it last year. Helped me out alot. ie don't talk politics. Think more or less I shouldn't have this site on my speed dial so I suddenly see DU Mail strung across this thumbnail and click on it when I'm not in a good mood and well .... I have a few issues, Depression came on in 2008 after being laid off. I haven't had a job since because my dad decided to pull a Depression no no the entire year in 2009 telling me practically everday to get a job. X_X it didn't work as he'd hoped and he's pulled the usual hey why don't you just man up and go thru with it. (with what ? ) don't ask. Robin Williams did don't wanna do that. Some people who have Depression have to joke about it. No use to muck around in the quick sand.

And yes I dont' have a way with words. I've been in the shadows since 2009. I'd only found out Lexapro does not work properly if you have ADD. so they put me on Welbutrin which is alot better I can think straight , but the minor bipolar issue where I go from okay to angry splits open on whatever trigger it might be. I'm used to getting hidden of late. But not over that old joke. And I like the word Liberal but others don't. I do have Progressive Lenses though maybe thats why I don't fully understand why I'd call myself one. Progressive Lenses are there instead of bifocals

12. pretty much what was hidden

Subject: my are you on meds

or off meds might need to calm down . I've worked myself into a frenzy.

either way Hillary should not be pushing Environmental groups around. They aren't connected to Bernie and they will lash back with whatever else in the factoid universe they have. Yes Hillary has an 82% rating. Bernie has a 95 % rating 100 % last year... I expect that. He's near perfect , Clintons were never Environmental friendly. knew that by 2000. Think I knew that by 1995 in fact. But what Bernie is saying isn't lying it's not telling the whole story. Big difference. She snapped and now if she snaps because of a Liberal what about the worse BS from the right . If she can't handle Bernie how is she supposed to handle Republicans. Thats really whats at issue here. Temper temper. Yeah think Bernie had a minor issue awhile back but wasn't quite as bad and can't remember what it was but it was something he cares about and she tried to make something of it. And at some point in the day Bernie might have to go negative. He hasn't yet. But I'm sure he will when the Republicans pull the rabbit out of the hat. -------------------------


5/2 to hide it. I fail to see what was over the top about that joke. (post 30) the person before me seemed wired. I think it must have had more to do with the big paragraph and they used the med thing as an excuse. yes the league of conservation voters is where I got the info. and even in the joke I actually have stated I've worked myself into a frenzy as well. I'll never understand it.

6. You are not the only one.. I am bipolar and only take anti-depressant. Works for me.

sometimes the mania is working overtime and my humor sometimes goes over the top and I get a PM to roll it back a tad.

I enjoy a good laugh and I really would prefer the manic be present than the depressive side.

The Hillbots would prefer the Bernie folks to get depressed and curl up in a ball and leave them alone.

Can't respond to an insult. Which is why I don't like that system. I can't imagine the USA without it's appeals system. which is why I usually fire an alert abuse to whatever. But thanks all for calming me down. I need it from time to time
