well....he might be needing his energy for more important things
Exactly. If you have never had anyone close to you who is suffering from crippling depression, you may not realize how completely exhausting just getting out of bed can be for them. I would be surprised to see Avery posting here.
Avery, I always keep my eyes out for new articles about depression. In the past year, I learned that up to 1/3 of people with long term depression issues do not get relief from any anti-depression drug regimen. That came as news to me. I guess I had thought that those who were not helped by therapy and drugs were just not compliant on the drugs. I do know how hard it can be for people to stay on their meds, because of the side effects.
But these facts were in news stories about the emerging use of ketamine (off-label) to treat these resistant people, and what good success they are seeing. Maybe something to ask your treatment professional about, if there are trials going on anywhere near you.
Hang in there, Phyl

Avery emailed again a few days ago to say how summer was coming soon to NZ and he was planning to get up into the mountains there to try and find some of the old magic. He also said it would be healthy for him to take a break from supertopo for a while. I am hopeful for him and I wished him well. Sometimes we a need a change of pace and some fresh air to see the world in a different light.

Ran into some hardmen from Boulder when I was a the City. I asked if they'd been to the Ruth Gorge and it made me think of the Avery series. Hang in there.

Hey Avery . . . I just wanted to thank you for your superb historic compilations shared here in the Tacosphere. You rank up there with Grossman and Marlow. Your posts are an important resource for information regarding the mountains you have documented.
Best to you!

There have been a number of articles in the news recently about how carefully measured out, mini doses of psychedelics and also ketamine are helping people with depression more effectively than many of the previous approaches.

You will always, almost always, most of you, choose negative emotion over no emotion. Because emotion indicates desire. It’s exciting!

(190) I choose the joy of God instead of pain.
Pain is my own idea. It is not a Thought of God, but one I
thought apart from Him and from His Will. His Will is joy,
and only joy for His beloved Son. And that I choose, instead
of what I made.
