Veena, thank you, I didn’t know you sold them. very convenient to get the pole and lessons in one place. Do you recommend the powder coated or SS? Having only used brass I am not sure which way to go.

Also, Casi, for your information, there is no cure for depression. Medication is usually a lifelong necessity, just like blood pressure pills. Again, medical advice is best left to the professionals. I speak from personal experience. I almost died after going off medication because depression is a forever disease. AND I practiceDbt, CBT, utilize the 12 steps, meditate, practice mindfulness and have acupuncture twice weekly. Without medication none of that works. It’s been 20 years and I’ve buried 2 family members who believed what you are saying.

Runemist, depression is a physical illness, period. Would you tell someone with diabetes to try to adjust their insulin levels with positive thinking? Unless you are a doctor I would not give such dangerous advice. We can no more adjust our serotonin levels through adjusting our thinking than we can our insulin levels or blood clotting profile. Leave the advice to the medical professionals. All discouraging someone from taking medication does is prevent them from using one of the tools in the mental health toolbox for healing. Medication brings us up to the same level as everyone else to enable us to benefit from DBT or CBT. It is so sad that these backwards ways of thinking still exist and keep the stigma alive. Every medication has side effects, but when you work with a licensed doctor they are qualified to find the right match. Let’s leave the medical advice to the doctors. Lives are at stake.

Shadow, it is vital that you seek the help of a good professional. Depression is a physical illness, no different than heart disease. I and every member of my family have it, two have killed themselves, two have tried and I almost died last year. No medication helped and after 20 years of suffering I had electroconvulsive therapy which saved my life. Feeling better I am delighted to get back into poling. You must not listen to those who tell you it’s all in your head, you are weak or deficient in some way. Lies, all lies. These people,are they doctors?? No, then they are not qualified and need to silence their judgments and support the brave person you are. You are a woman of honor and dignity who deserves the best in life and that includes your health. Sometimes in order to heal we must make hard decisions about our relationships but it is our responsibility to tend to our mental health just as we dutifully go for mammograms and get our teeth cleaned. The stigma sucks but be brave and speak your truth.
