Your description of being on parole is very apt - you never know quite when it is going to tap you on the shoulder and say time for another spell inside.

Never gotten that bad, but I'm trying to push through it. Maybe it sometimes just surfaces as a reminder - waves 'hello - you think you're free but you'll always be on parole' before disappearing in a puff of black smoke (she says dramatically)<BR/>xxJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329937118727831213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235466434053435852.post-74509768433375812632009-02-09T16:58:00.002+00:002009-02-09T16:58:00.002+00:00Dear Jane - I don't know if it helps at all with y...Dear Jane - I don't know if it helps at all with your depression to say that you have described it so well I get a feeling of just how awful it must be.
