I used to be a mental health social worker and every one of my clients who sufferred from depression smoked - for some reason we 'believe' that it will make the depression easier to handle. But as you say that is a very wrong belief. All we become is smokers who have depression other than non smokers who have depression - the depression is still there. I suffered from depression about 6 years ago and for almost a year I was on antidepressants - most of the day I spent lying in the sofa in front of TV (not really watching it) smoking one after another. It was actually the only thing I was interested in! Depression is a horrible illness as it is invisible and those that don't understand think that you should be able to 'pull yourself together', what <!--more--> have you got to be depressed about??? and so on. So well done again and thanks for coming in to say Hi, Namaste Indi Hi Lisa
