My boyfriend's name for me, i am tiny, shrimp size . i was self destructive for a long time, but not any longer, yet depression remains. Does therapy help? i guess i'm skeptical, because so far only meds have temporarily erased the brain fog, if anyone has ANY suggestions for the thinking through mud problem, please let me know. nardil is making me tired between 3-8 , i could literally sleep sitting up at my desk, but then after 8 i seem to wake up. Will this sleepiness subside, or should i drop nardil? Oh, and i have a great dog, who i love to death, probably more than i like people.

I don't worry about world problems & SARS. For some reason, I was born being my own worst enemy. I self destruct. But I keep trying. I'm back on med's (currently Effexor) and I'm going to therapy. Right now I'm balanced (it always feels like a tightrope act) and sometimes I even catch glimpses of who I used to be. And now I am uniquely qualified to appreciate what everyone *normal* takes for granted: life.
