Look at this picture. Do I look happy? Well, part of the reason, no, actually MOST of the reason is because I'm medicated, legally. If I wasn't medicated, I wouldn't be smiling on vacation, or be ON vacation for that matter, I wouldn't be in my chosen professions of college & art instructor, I wouldn't be a mom, I wouldn't have been married twice to nice guys, & have other dear relationships with family & friends...... I wouldn't have done a lot of things because chances are, I WOULDN'T BE HERE, I'd be DEAD. There I said it.......and I'll say it again. DEAD, & by my own hand for that matter.
This blog is for those of us who are educated about ourselves, reasonably well adjusted, & prior to taking charge of our clinical depression, were trying to SWIM THROUGH MUD. Looking forward to a place to share about it, to reduce the guilt about taking medication to STAY ALIVE & to hearing from you.....
