Nobody would write a book about my life

What would they call it? Urge to run? Misery doesn't love company? I told my counselor today that I need a "Misery-ectomy".  I come from a long line of miserable people. Alot of them were/are crazy in some way. I use the term "crazy" with all affection, by the way. My brother, who died at 35 from an overdose of meds, was diagnosed as "bi-polar", but I think that there was much more to it than that. My mother has OCD - definately OCD. (You'd think that someone with OCD would have a very clean house - but that is not always the case. I grew up in squallor) My father was depressed. My other brothers have exhibited signs of depression for years. I could go back generations and you would find a bunch of really, truely, miserable people. Spread out throughout the family - misery. My uncle that just passed away was miserable. Where did all this misery come from?  Who knows, but they would never write a book about it.

Hon I love the idea of a misery-ectomy and I so understand your family. Depression runs in my mothers family. I have an aunt with OCD also. Brother in law who is bi-polar, oh and my son is ADD and AD/HD.
I tell people my family is just screwed up totally but then we are a family and we are a lot nuts but in a good way most of the time.
Maybe we are kin in some way LOL now wouldn\'t that be a hoot? Love you hon, HUGS
