    If it works, it will be totally worth it. Clinical Depression and PTSD are pretty awful diseases. The worst part is that since it's the brain that is sick, people conflate it with a character or attitude issue

      We will definitely keep you in our prayers. My kids will probably prefer to pray for you simply as a hamster. Our prayers to find one of our lost hamsters were answered immediately.
      βλέπομεν γὰρ ἄρτι δι᾿ ἐσόπτρου ἐν αἰνίγματι, τότε δὲ πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον·
      ἄρτι γινώσκω ἐκ μέρους, τότε δὲ ἐπιγνώσομαι καθὼς καὶ ἐπεγνώσθην.

      אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

        That reminds me when a friend lost his hamster when I was a teenager. He lost it in the park near our house. Then a week later my sister sees something in the backyard and brings it in, and sure enough, it's him

        edit: the hamster I mean, not my friend

                Look on the bright side, you might forget the entirety of the Obama administration.

                    Thanks guys. I just had my first taste yesterday morning. I can feel my short term memory already going, but I have all my passwords and other information in a notebook by my bed. Right now I'm so sore from the procedure.. head doesn't hurt at all, but everything else does!

                      Thanks for stopping by, hammy.
                      Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

                        Probably not as bad as you are experiencing, but I know what it's like to have short term memory loss. So I can certainly feel your pain on that one.

                          I can't remember if I have memory loss or not. Must be getting old.

                            Hope you feel better. And shame on those idiots that think depression is a sin. Seriously, I've seen some websites that claim that.

                              IIRC, the "sloth" that was listed among the so-called seven deadly sins originally meant what today is understood as depression rather than laziness.

                              I'm always still in trouble again
