Chica, my heart and prayers go out to you at this time. I, too, have suffered with the terrible disease of clinical depression. As a teen I almost took my own life. I was on today's equivalents of metaqualone for my panic attacks which depressed me more. With the help of my family and my faith, I was able to get on the other side of most of the really bad bouts of this. It is not an easy disease to live with because it is so misunderstood. In researching methaqualone for my story "Salvation" I discovered that Freddie and I had a lot in common in this area. I wish every day someone could have helped him the way I was helped. I wish you the best as you learn to deal with this life long disease. It is possible to find ways to cope and live a full life. Please stay with us. You are not alone!
