Funny that you have this up today. This is on my to-do list. I'll get something to you by the end of the week.

Sorry Philip.
Cannot help you. I've lost my bank account, mastercard for I had to buy these wonderful drugs such as SSRIs, antipsychotics and benzodiazepines during a time a had no money.
As they are very expense I had to make a decision between bankruptcy or withdrawal symptoms that could lead to violent behavior against others or myself.

I believe that people who are on their forties is the first generation that are blogging about all the problems these drugs have promoted.
And this is one of the problems: due to side effects and withdrawal symptoms some people spend time without working.
When the process is over people are out of the market.
Now this people are trying hard to tell their stories to spare the youngest not to be put on drugs that will not help them with their diseases and will only bring more and more harm.

Hope some of those who are profiting selling these drugs remember that they don't even have time to enjoy their lives for they have to work hard to keep on selling these old drugs.

We are begging. You are doing nothing with your lives but accumulating money. What a biography!

At least I can enjoy reading good books, going to the beach, to the movies, drawing,... little great pleasures of life.
Now I'll keep on reading William Styron's "Sophie's Choice".
He also wrote Darkness Visible a chronicle of his fight with depression. It was "first published as an essay in the December 1989 issue of Vanity Fair. The title derives from Milton’s description of hell in Paradise Lost."

Hi, I am a newcomer to your site. Are you working somewhere besides this site? Did you find a job? Or are you on disability?
I am sorry if you have this posted somewhere. I looked for it and didn't see it.

You have lots of good information and I am sure you spend lots of time on this.

naturalgal: i do not have a formal fulltime job right now in journalism because the journalism business has gone to hell the last two years. i freelance where i can, but the issues i cover aren't real popular so there's not a ton of work for me to do. so i scratch out a living between such freelance work as i get (which i assure you still pays at 1995 rates) and contributions to this site. that's it.

not on disability. i've never been disabled.

hope that clears it up.

Thanks for all of your hard work Philip! Because this site is authored by an award winning journalist is all the more reason to donate to support and fund the labor intensive work we all read and learn from.

I did my part of the donating deed.

Keep those words flowing!

Thank you for all of your hard work.
You are amazing Phillip!
