Comments on: The letter D http://onglinepodcast.com/2007/03/06/the-letter-d/ Ongline Podcast documents the life of a gay Malaysian-born Chinese living in the United States. Immerse yourself in the life of a not-so-typical individual. Expand your horizon by experiencing the topics, issues, stories, and simply, the life of a gay Asian man.

Interesting balance of sharing the personal while still maintaining safe distance. I am glad this spell appears to be over for now.

Please forgive the 'sales pitch' but you might just be interested in a brand new DVD just released by my company called EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT DEPRESSION and presented by UK Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Darryl Britto, who made the DVD especially for Depression patients and those training in the medical field. He discusses the myths about Depression, as well as its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, the various treatment including antidepressants, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Social Intervention, and then goes on to discuss prognosis (outcomes of treatment.)

When i was a bit feeling the 'D', I actually did a podcast about it, per a suggestion I had from talking with you about it. It helps to get it out of your system. Thought I'd drop you some support, since you were there for me when i was a bit down. It'll get better. :) You are lucky that you at least have a support system around you here in the States.

But, even the most "up" people have their times of darkness, otherwise they must be fakes. Darkness, sadness, is a natural part of our lives. From my own experience, I prided myself on being so sunny and up most of the time, then when those times hit of the big "D", I presumed I had failed by letting something go terribly wrong that I should have controlled. Now, I know that those dark times were my biggest times of growth in depth, and compassion for others, greater maturity for me. I also learned to appreciate my close people more as a result. My best to you.. Chris John,

A little emotional quiet is good for the soul but rest assured that they all love you though at times it does not come out that way. People - they just don't know what you mean sometimes - its not that they're clueless (you wish that it was the case) but they just don't get it and is less intuitive of your nuances. It makes you special.... don't forget that. Eccentric but special and definitely not boring. Take care and get well. Hadi Hey John – I know where you’re coming from.
