[!@#$%!]

i've seen a wide range of shrinks and i can attest that a lot of them are crazy or just plain incompetent.

so you have to shop around.

however, i still recommend seeing a shrink cos when you find a good one it can make a world of difference for your sanity.

just because some shoes hurt your feet it doesn't mean you shouldn't wear them at all. just find a good fit.

for the record, i'm speaking as a person who used to suffer from serious chronic depression plus some acute episodes & a number of psychotic episodes, but I AM WELL NOW and i don't need medication or therapy anymore.

in other words, *i'm cured of my depression*. this is not a joke. i've lived, and it hasn't been in vain. ha ha ! but seriously...
