I don't know if embracing these things by myself is better than a lifetime spent on prozac or not. Well, maybe not something as strong. I think my doctor mentioned it again, because I might now potentially have bi-polar but will need to see a psychiatrist with a 'mood' diary for him to work out. Ahh!  

I have been on and off antidepressants for years.. I had given up on them. About 6 months ago I flunked out of school and got very depressed. I was doing a lot of drugs and trying to kill myself regularly.

I was put on Zoloft and sometime after the dose had been increased twice I just started feeling better. It returned me to normal.

I don't have panic attacks. I don't try to hurt myself. It's grounded me. I'm still unhappy, fuck you can't medicate that but I'm not deep in that pit of sorrow.
