Anniversary
9 years ago this month, I suffered the momentous depressive episode that made me realize that therapy hadn't fixed me, and that I was probably going to need medication for the rest of my life.
This is really apropos of nothing. I was just thinking about it because I had a fairly wild swing into depression today, which always worries me, and I realized how long it's actually been since I made the decision that I couldn't survive the bullshit that my depression was putting me through without pharmacological help. I still have problems now and again (I'm particularly prone to them at this time of year) but I've never been tempted to go off the meds again.
