prior to this biz, i worked in healthcare.  the chemical imbalance linked to depression is a lack of seratonin, which is your brain's happy drug.  the usual meds are called seratonin re-uptake inhibitors. they fool your brain into believing it hasn't produced enough seratonin, then it produces more.  more seratonin = more happiness.

maybe we should toss a few prosac into the candy jar on our desk. it could help both us and our clients...then again the lifesavers are all i really need...

Do these meds work better than saying affirmations in the mirror every morning?

They’re nowhere near as fun as plain old chocolate ice cream.  Eating ice cream produces the same seratonins that those drugs are getting your brain to think it needs.  The same can be said for chocolate candy too.  So, instead of getting your doc to give you a script for some re-uptake inhibitor, why not get him to write you a script for some Cherry Garcia and buy it at WAG so you can use  your HSA card.   Problem solved.  Everytime I hear the word suicide I can’t help but whistle the MASH theme song.

I think I need to start eating chocolate for breakfast on Monday morning…

As a Calvin and Hobbes afficionado, I’d suggest Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.  Heck, why wait until Monday, there’s got to be a grocery store in town.  You can have some for lunch today.

I had some chocolate over lunch.  Much happier now, might have something to do with the market finishing up.  Wonder if I have some for lunch tomorrow it will have the same effect if the market goes down.  I will be running a study tomorrow on the effects of chocolate, I might extend this the whole week.

I know of 2 definite suicides one of them being a murder suicide.  One in 2000 and 1 recently. Both in Fla.  Sad, especially when you leave kids behind.

  If you are going to do it, do it right.  Buy lots and lots of life insurance.  Wait 2 years and then kill yourself.

  You'll die soon anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Personally I prefer SEX to calm my nerves and relax my body. This always seems to make me feel better. You guys should try that.

I'd be willing to have sex with you, if you think it would be helpful. As long as your promise not to fall in love with me.

  OK...if you insist, I'll try it.   Beats what I did last week. I decided to end it all and jump off the roof of the credit union and my ankle still hurts.   I felt like such an idiot.

What’s this SEX company that you speak of?  Is it publically traded?

  See, now if you combine my thought of chocolate ice cream with Miss J's SEX idea, then perhaps you can find  few minutes of nirvana (the emotional state, not the band).
