Now, she’s a mess. She says that her kids would be better off without her, the way she is now. I feel really bad for her, but the law is the law. I think she realizes this too and maybe that’s contributing to her overall depression. She’s not allowed to use the only medicine that has ever helped her.

I have had a lot of time this last year to think over the way I treat people and hopefully I have done a 180 turnaround. I have been battling and hopefully winning the fight over a very serious illness for most of this year and boy does it give your life a new perspective. I asked myself how do I want to be remembered and I have hopefully set my path to be that person. I have come to realize that I want to be thought of as a peacemaker, joyful, humble, giving, loving. Also one who accepts all as they are and only give my opinion if someone asks for it. As I celebrate this Christmas, I am so grateful to be here that the way others act doesn't really matter. I am thankful they are in my life. I thank you for your blog and the context has really hit home with me.

I have a friend who used to self-medicate with marijuana for her depression. She stopped using it a couple of years ago because the fear of getting caught was too much for her. Now, she's on a bunch of different prescription anti-depressants and is a complete zombie. It's too bad. You could tell how much better she was when she was smoking. Now, she's a mess.

I forget who that's a quote of so I'll have to Gichi Gichi Google or Voila Bada Bing that after this. For those of us who consider you the rock star of psychiatry it is nice for you to share who your rock stars are, Dr. Phil. Definitely, Larry King has stood the test of time with dignity & grace, as you say. (That y'all are friends says a lot about you, too, Dr. Phil.) Like Oprah, I use to want to be a news caster... inspired by David Brinkley & Walter Cronkite. Barbara Walters inspired Oprah & I like her & Oprah as well. That never happened nor did my other passion of being a disease detective although my Business Law Professor did write a nice letter of recommendation for me to go to UTSW Medical Scientist Training. I never did yet I still have the letter. I just returned from a Christmas Light Stroll & saw this link on Facebook so here I be. Dr. Phil, glad you got to be part of the honor of being on Larry King's last show. “And That’s the Way It Was,” Dr. Phil.

Larry King literally set the standard for really GREAT investigative TV Journalism! There is no one EVEN CLOSE to Larry King when it comes to capturing information with poise and dignity. I will miss him, always. I know one thing, I sure would hate to be following Larry in that spot, because someone has some BIG SHOES to fill! A special thanks to Larry for always honoring himself and his profession by approaching and executing every situation with worth, respect and nobility. We’ll Miss You Larry! Thanks, as well, to Dr. Phil for pointing out the differences and the things that truly made Larry King so great! There will be a hole where Larry King was in television journalism. T.T.F.N. Larry! BG I MISS HIM ALREADY!

In fact, I just watched your episode where the 19 year old was dating a 41 year old man. We have a very similar situation in our home with our 19 year old dating a 33 year old. It has brought frustration and tears to all of us, but your episode helped us realize what we can, or should I say, can't do. Thanks for making a positive difference for so many families. :) It is sad to see the classics like Larry King and Oprah leaving our homes, but I am grateful, positive inspirational television like Dr. Phill will still be around.
