I have come to the decision that I need to begin taking medication once again. I don't want to do this but I know I have to do it. I will do it for one month.... After that I will decide if I will continue or not.
God I hate doing this.......
I also decided I am going to return to a sphere of my life that I have been away from for several years. I am going back to college. Not as an instructor this time (I don't think I am ready for that... or if I ever will be) but as a student once again. I will study for my degree in history... Something I have wanted to do for alot of years.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Awesome!
God bless you, Marc and give you great success in every worthy thing that you decide to do. May you be blessed with hugs galore from all those whom you let love you.

i think those decisions are excellent.
With the meds, do look them up online to make sure that a month is sufficient

I don't want to do this indefinately..... I don't want to do this at all.... but I feel I must.... You know the problems I am prone to about taking and forgetting then taking again and so on..... This frightens me to the bone.....

I understand you. My point is simply one of the way the meds work. Some must have a build up period before they can be effectuive, and then a wind down period rather than cold turkey. The point I am making is a chemical one, not a psycological one or a "need this" one.

You know I always listen to what you say in the end..... though it looks like I am kicking and screaming all the way.....
I am very excited about returning to school. I have always wanted a degree in history to round out everything. The fact that I am going to get a boatload of $$$ for doing it helps too.
Like Kevy surmised.... I can find a nice job in a dead end company to suppliment our income or I can do this and get my new degree at the same time and make more money for the effort than I would by working.
I should have thought of doing this years ago.

There is no need to be frightened about forgetting. You do not live alone. Let Kevy help you, silly boi. Together you can do it.

Marc, I do so much respect you for these decisions. Having a trial period for meds is a fine idea, and the college things sounds great. Best wishes in all your endeavours.

I'm pleased.
I wish I'd got my degree.

Well Tim,
You could always take a course here and there..... It may take a while but then a long walk takes time too....
And if there is a prise at the end of the trail it is always worth the sore feet.
Even if it is for nothing more than personal satisfaction.....

If I had any idea what I wanted a degree in! Certainly I am not interested in metallurgy any more.

Just start with a talk with an admissions counselor. Take a walk around a campus or two and see what is happening.
You never know what will pique your interest if you give it a chance.

Money is a good thing.... I wish I had a bunch or two....
Now....
On the subject of "up"....... stand erect, bend 90 degrees at the waste, look straight ahead......... UP is the other way.........
