Well, we could organize a Diabetes_Int seminar and get a group rate

at a beachside hotel. We just have to find some way to make it tax-

deductable. I lived in the Caribbean for several years and my wife

comes from there. Just as many people suffer from clinical depression

and diabetes there as anywhere else, unfortunately.

That's for sure! But I am not so certain that " being depressed " is

the same thing as suffering from clinical depression. It seems to me

that if something unpleasant has happened to you, is happening to you

or is expected to happen to you then it is perfectly natural for you

to to " feel depressed " about it.

What I understand by clinical depression is when you feel down but

there is no apparent reason for you feeling depressed - everything is

going well, there are no real problems in sight - and yet you still

feel lifeless and have no appetite, feel tired during the day, have

difficulty concentrating, are unable to make decisions.

I have chosen a test procedure for what I assume is my clinical

depression and I tried it out this morning. I said to myself after

breakfast that I would now stand up and start exercising, which is

something that I really wanted to do.

Nothing happened. I just continued sitting there. In fact 3 hours

went by and I still couldn't bring myself to stand up and start

moving about. It is just as if there is a disconnect somewhere in my

nervous system. The message doesn't get through to my muscles.

Suddenly, my muscles responded and I started exercising without any

further problem. So I have noted the 3 hours as a measure of my

depression today. I am going out now to buy some St. 's Wort and

I will test again tomorrow.

I am hoping to get some objectivity into this process!
