Are Large Goiters Signs of Manic Depression?
Q.I've been looking all over the web for info on this. If anyone knows, would they please please let me know.
A.Well, I don't know. It's just like this whole year has just been in the toilet. Everybody just argues all the time about everything and I'm getting sick of it. It's like it's here and it's on TV (which is why I hardly watch it) and then Lady Diana dying and the bombing trial and then other people dying and people lying out their ass all the time is making me pretty sick because I'm basically a trusting person but I mean it's really getting harder to be that way! And then this whole Bill Clinton/Paula Jones thing and then the thing with Fred Thompson and Howard Ickes and everybody just seems like they've lost it. And every time you turn around there's something new you have to learn on the computer or somewhere else. I don't want to learn about termites. If I did I would have been a bug guy, which I probably should have been. But if one more person says to me, there are two types of houses, those that have termites and those that will I really feel like I'm going to rip someone's head off. It's like everything's backwards all the time. I'm supposed to lighten up about everything but everybody else isn't. I mean I try but I'm not the only person in the whole world over here! It's like I have S U C K E R written across my forehead and it's like this neon light flashing whenever I go anywhere and I'm getting pretty sick of it. I'm also getting a little sick of there being too much of everything everywhere. Ever looked down the cereal aisle? Since when do we need all these different brands? I mean you just walk up and down looking and god it's like major decision time on every aisle anymore. And there are always a million little tags displaying the sale items (usually hung in the wrong place) and you have to wade thru those. And why is gas going up? And don't people say thank you anymore or what? And every time you turn around there's a new rule and who can keep up? I don't think you suffer from depression...you behaved like a total ass when you here before...and that's only when you weren't being actually deliberately cruel. You come in and apologize (again)...then immediately attack one of the more intelligent and respected members of this forum for his warning people about *your* conduct,,.which would have been needless if your conduct had been reasonable... You whine and complain (still) about losing your Worldnet account...again...through your *own* actions...and are more upset with the fact that you "had everything just the way I liked it too" ... than with the needless pain you caused others by your conduct and words. Words can't hurt?? Yeah...all the little troublemakers like to say that. Truth is slightly different. They *do* hurt.And when people are already *in* pain...they hurt even more so. One of my aunts, on the "sane" side of the family, began suffering from depression. She wasn't responding well to the medication, or even to a lightbox (they suspected SAD). It was only when her neck began to swell and become painful that they diagnosed a thyroid problem. Some symptoms can be rather similar, hypothyroid slows you down and hyperthyroid can speed you up. The standard blood tests don't always show a change until after clinical symptoms have emerged, though more accurate tests are available.
