Please Read....
Depression is a huge part of my life and I deal with it every day, currently going through treatment for it and missing work also. Not too many Americans truly know the affects of this disease or who it effects. please read this article in the most recent Newsweek. It details Men with depression and how undiagnosed it is. this is something that i am truly trying to get the word out about. please do me a favor and read the article

Hey,I have not read the article ..yet..but wanted to say that I had noticed your new avatar and you are very handsome...You will find the right girl and when you drop weight and feel better about yourself..you will have to turn down many women...or maybe you will even have "enough" to go around.
Anyway,glad to hear you are feeling better and now I know you are a looker too.

I think thats a good idea. Wish I could help. My mother suffered from depression, obviously so have I. I'd buy and wear the wristband.
