And the discussion swings back to the topic:
I really REALLY hate anti-depressants, at least the ones they've tried on
me.
Either my ability to focus thoughts goes away, or I get a fog around my
head and thinking has to push through it. And being /so/ geekish that
my intelligence is one of my prime sources of self-esteem, anything which
handicaps that is worse than the original depression.
So anti-depressants depress me. Ain't that paradoxical?
Any other geeks find that?
