I’ve been on Prozac for years. I was doing fairly well until a month or so ago when I opened a thread of Internet religious discussion, something I swore I would never do again, and it was like some kind of weird trigger that set off some kind of mental chain reaction. I have to many nuts-and-bolts problems in my life-I’ve been out of college for many years, and still live with my parents working a dead-end job that makes me miserable because of some sort of inexplicable inertia that has meant that I’ve been stagnant. I’d rather be depressed about that. At least that’s something that realistically merits actual concern in my life as opposed to this nonsense. Like I said, compared to what my friend is going through, this seems particularly petty and selfish of me. I’d just like to be able to stop my brain from freewheeling like sixth-gear car with the clutch out. It’s driving me crazy. It’s up and down though, so hopefully it’ll eventually stay down.

EDIT: I do temporarily feel a bit better after getting this all out. We’ll see how long that’ll last.

EDIT 2: Not very.
