Hi there, I think it would be fair to say that I am obsessed with madness and mental health issues too! Ever since I got sick (with a major depressive episode in 1998 I haven't been able to leave it alone and I even started studying psychology).
I am sorry to hear about your marriage. I haven't been married, so I can't imagine what that must be like, but there are others here who have been through similar things... Benzo addiction is something that I do understand, however, and that really is a bugger :-(
We get christmas in summer here in NZ. People who come over from Europe often say that it doesn't feel like christmas because it is summer. We also tend to have BBQ's on christmas day which people find strange...
I didn't know you were from SA Sabrina! Where abouts? I have a few friends who immmigrated from Jo Burg. And I thought American politics was intense! They have this curious habit of BBQing in the middle of winter - standing under an umbrella! Is that a typical SA thing to do, or are they uniquely odd?
