Well, everyone has confirmed my suspicion that AS and depression/anxiety go hand in hand. My first experience with it was in my 20's for a few days, then the periods increased in length until finally in my late 30's it became chronic. I don't fit into the depressive personality type, which leads me to believe that there really is no type ~ that depression/anxiety is a physical ailment. Curiouser and curiouser.

Thank GOD for antidepressants, swimming pools, and KickAS! cheerleader
