Good to see you back Bobby and apologies for not popping over sooner.
Like Sue I use http://www.cocomment.com to track comments so I know where I have been and can follow up.

You take care and blog as and when you feel like it…..readers are loyal and still return

Have a great weekend

Hello Bobby!
Nice to see more entries from you.
Yes, it’s really hard to manage blog visits… especially if you couldn’t blog in the office!
Before, I do half of my blog visits in the office and do the other half and posting at home.
But no pressure though, as long as we could see new posts from time to time.
Your blogger buddies understand that you like to visit everyone…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Seeing this blog post has made my day
I am so glad you are feeling much better – it is obvious that you have many good friends here who must appreciate your visits and comments – but being good friends, as well as being bloggers who understand how busy and stressful it can become, they will appreciate the occasional visit as much as very regular ones.

Have you ever tried keeping track of comments you leave on other blogs using http://www.cocomments.com ? I think this is a wonderful tool. Not only does it give me a record of where I have left comments and on which post but it is great to know when to go back to respond again if necessary.

Anonymous – I was always loath to take drugs for my anxiety/depression. Then I discovered that there was a genetic reason for it all. I am a carrier of Fragile X Syndrome. Carriers do not have any intellectual problems but do have issues with hormone and chemical imbalances. After persisting with a few different anti-depressants I was put on one which started working within days – it seems I had too much of a kind of adrenaline in my system all the time . I have never looked back – my life has changed so much.

I am perhaps fortunate to have discovered a physical cause so I could view the illness as any other illness – which we would not hesitate to treat with all at our disposal. With the advances in genetic research I am certain that more such physical causes are going to be found. My only regret perhaps is that I did not persist with medication and other kinds of therapy earlier in life.

So glad to see you back buddy. I hope you feel rejuvenated and positive. Just take your time with things and remember that reading blogs and commenting isn’t supposed to be a drain on you. When it is, then that’s the sign that you’re attempting to do too much at a time. So don’t spread yourself too thin buddy.

Hi Bobby,

Every time I visit your blog, I’m struck by your compassion and how approachable you make yourself in every post. You’re bringing humanity back into a blogging world where everyone is talking about their last great post. People forget there is a real human being on the other end of that post, with problems and feelings, just like themselves.

I too suffer from major bouts of depression and I stop writing for weeks at a time. I’ve always rejected medication because of the fear of losing the highs along with the lows. We always come out the other side, often feeling a little more gratitude for the people that make our lives more meaningful.

Thanks for the post. It’s a breath of fresh air.

Bobby, YOUR BACK .............YES!!! You put far too much pressure on yourself. Even in this post your are talking about how you have to visit everyone. Please pace yourself. As you get more and more friends it will become impossible to visit everyone. Please don't try. You blog has to be your place where you can express yourself and feel safe. we will understand!!!!!
