I get a dose of this stuff myself from time to time, and I've seen it paralyze people close to me.
I've also talked with folks who have reversed it (over a period of time, with doc-supervised experimentation) via anti-depressants.
There still seems to be an unneccesary stigma RE: mental health in this country. If I fell off the porch and cracked my head open, nobody would blame me for going to the doctor.
Depression is a physiological thing. Chemical imbalance in Ye Olde Gray Blob.
There's no disgrace in having fucked-up seratonin levels, any more than having, say, a low white-cell count.
A good doc, who knows what he/she is doing, and some time spent getting the dosage right, can flip things around for the much better.
We're in your corner, but you're the one who has to do the fighting. Round One, your best strategy might be to See The Doc.
Sorry, but I gotta say I am in the corner of NO pharmacy intervention. I have been clean and sober for many years and even then I would say resort to marijauna before you get tied into prescription anti-depression drugs. If anything is evil in this world, they are.
Only you know if you’re depressed or not. However, sometimes you can have physical symptoms without feeling depressed. There are quite a few different anti-depressants out there now and getting the right dosage can help level you out. It never hurts to talk to a doc and/or a therapist, imo.
Anti-depressants along with therapy certainly have helped me get through humps in my life.
Once you get through the humps, then you want to hump.
So easy to dispense advice and critcize when you're anonymous. We threw away those messages in every place I've worked in--good policy.
PS Akins doesn't carry SSRI's PPS Clean and sober--good luck with that--when you get your medical degree and counseling certificate, let me know how you feel about pharmaceutical intervention--otherwise close your pie hole. Now as to getting laid--excuse me I have to go now.

Did you mean you talk about "depression" like it is fun or you talk about "getting laid" like it is fun?

Depression can also be a signal that something in your life needs to be changed. I think it pays to think about it both ways.

It has actually made a difference for me. Helps with sleep too. Order over the web because the mother f*****s at Akin's will RAPE you.
Mikie whines & gets attention from some girls...
I see a rather pathetic pattern here.
So don't get laid, get a leg cut off and then look back & whine that THESE were the good ole days.
Enlightened, hell, you need some real crap in your life, to get some perspective.
Ever notice how Carp & Crap are so close?
