Thank you so much Manny for bringing this up. It is a very important subject for everyone to be aware of.

I read once that the three most basic and universal fears are:

Fear of Death
Fear of Going Crazy
Fear of Making a Fool of Yourself

This has always made sense to me---the first is obvious and much discussed as a challenge to face and deal with in life.

The second I've always believed is an unnecessary result of stigmatization in our society---there are cultures where crazy folks are honored as seers who see what others cannot.

And the third is something I figured out for myself as a performer, of course---it's one of the causes of all those butterflies, after all!

Be well.....Judith in Portland

sigh.... Papa Bear, I fight depression on my own. It is really hard. I tried medicine; nightmares started...then money came in the way. I"m still hugging my pillow and struglling. The picture you see is of me back in 2005. Today, I look more than just 3 years older. My bloodsugar is totally out of control. It's true Stress and Depression can ruin a bloodsugar number in less than a heartbeat.:(
