"It will be 2 or 3 weeks before there is any change." I doubt these will help at all. This pit in my chest, it won't ever be gone. Depression can't be cured. Or that's what I heard. I've felt bad for so long, would feeling okay just feel wrong? I was sitting on a bench, reading a book Smiling To myself. No one was watching. I was smiling for me, naturally. The change creeped up slowly. So slow I almost didn't know. I'm suddenly crying, confused Thankful! I didn't think I would ever again See how bright the sun had been. Notice how nice the breeze felt against my skin. A tiny change, some pills a day changed my life in a meaningful way. I promise you, I'm not happy all the time. But I feel all emotion Instead of constant inner commotion. Thank you. Thank you. Thank me. I could have ended it, I almost did twice. But right now, Living feels nice.

People hate on antidepressants all the time. Theyve saved my life. Ive tried many kinds and finally found the combination that works. Please if you feel hopeless and alone, go to a doctor. The pills have helped me get into counseling and start a journey towards healing. Depression is scary, please please please don't limit your options from the get go. You CAN get through this. Much love
