Jerry, not where I thought this post was going. WOW! I used to go through depression but it happened in cycles. I'm not sure if that's what you're describing or not. I've been fortunate to manage it by getting enough sleep, exercise, and greatly reducing the amount of carbohydrates in my diet (I think it had a lot to do with brain inflammation and sleep). I hope you had a good time in Tennessee, it's a beautiful state and there's a lot to do in that part of the country.
