It really helped me cope through a bout of depression. Even if it alienates a few people to say what you think, it's generally best to get it out. Generally, but carefully. I have a warped sense of humour that I tend to keep to myself more often than not. But the rest is fair game.

I should just fix the problems causing me to be depressed. But sometimes we need a little nudge in the right direction, and a better mood can help that! You know what? I feel a little better, and am thinking of upping the dose as well because almost a month in it seems to be settling down a bit. I don't plan on being on this forever, but for now it is helping me cope a little better with the stresses of my life, and I just might now have the initiative to find a good therapist! There is no shame in seeking help where we can find it. Now, if only I could get my hands on some percocet I'd really be feeling good - j/k!

If you were diabetic and needed a different amount of insulin to function correctly you would not even pause to think about it. Not judging your hesitation - I just hate that we DO have those hang ups and pride issues when it comes to mental/emotional health. I'm with you on the blog thing...The thing I hate about blogs is that I feel like I need to keep it focused on a particular genre/hobby/etc. but I am just not a one note song, kwim? I liked blogging about home projects and similar because I do enjoy those things, but then where do I blog about everything else? I don't have the time or desire to keep several blogs going - I've tried and end up dumping them. Let me know if you figure it out!! As it is I will probably start one specifically for my business when I launch it. (Would love to chat with you about that too...) Sorry for the long ramble - this probably should have been an email and not a comment! Hey – what you need is what you need in the meds department!

I understand what it's like to be depressed. And then I watched my mom go through massive depression when I was younger. Anyway, I was sort of depressed all summer, and seems like being productive cures it, but we'll see when school starts. *Hugs.* You're in my thoughts! I love these long, introspective posts from you.
