I do believe you. I was not in any way being critical - please don't read it that way. Without drugs was MY choice - that does not mean it needs to be yours.
I whole heartedly agree with SHORT-TERM use of ante-depressants to help tide one over a difficult period. What you describe is most definitely a VERY painful, stressful, sudden-shock situation. I am very glad that you are taking care and doing whatever you need to do to help you cope with the situation. I was feeling sick and ill for a couple of weeks after 9/ll (read my journal entries around that time). I did not even know anyone personally so I can't imagine what it must be like for you.
Garrison, it restores my faith in humanity when I hear that some people's experiences of the Mental Health System have been good.
Take care,
