Shrink dropped by at a normal time for this joint, five PM Saturday. He listened to my tale of woe and put me back on Abilify. Some of you may recall when he took me off it, which was immediately followed by my descent into depression and not caring about anything. But no more! Soon I will be that optimistic, ambitious, smart, and capable person I was for a few months. Okay, maybe not all of that, but it was a big change for me.

So now I can get back to work getting home. I miss my dogs.

Better living through modern chemistry!

Listen, I firmly believe that half the population should be on antidepressants.

The other half **needs** to be!

I’ve been on one kind or another for well over thirty years.

That’s good news DZ. I’m glad he heard what you were telling him. We aren’t always so lucky.
