I'm starting to get really excited.  I'm not depressed.  Sad at
times,  given to wishing things were different at times, but not
depressed. Questions crowd me:

        Does this mean I don't have PD?

        Does this mean I do have PD but someone else got
                my share of depression?

        Does this mean that I am wrong in believing that sadness
                is a legitimate emotion in its own right?

        Am I doing a Stevie Smith (Not waving, but drowning)?

        If I convince myself that I'm too happy to have PD, but
                then find out I really do have PD, will I finally
                get depressed?

Wait a minute----all these questions have really got me worried.  Hey!
Was that the tiniest tendril of depression slipping into the back of my
mind?  Yes---Yes it is----I belong again.  Now then, where are those
anti-depressents I kept around "just in case"?

                *grining from ear to ear*

Dennis.
