I was a professional portrait photographer for about 10 years... part time to full time. Realized the stress of full time was getting to me, so went back to just shooting for fun. Dropped the professional web site, and just started scott's therapy to just post fun stuff. No stress, just fun... all therapy

I was diagnosed with depression back in about 1991 while I was in the military. Took anti-depresents for awhile, but didn't last long on that. Jump ahead to about 1999. Through a series of long stories, I was eventually diagnosed as bi-polar, and then about a year and a half later, after going through some testing, they said you're a little crazier than we thought, and said I was schizo-effective. I asked what that meant, and they basically said "a lot bi-polar, and bordering on schizophrenic.." So here I am, I function fine. I played around with different medications until I found a good combination that worked for me, and didn't make me feel numb. I haven't missed a day of meds in about 10 years now. Wouldn't want to go back to the way I was pre-medication if the world depended on it.
