Depression and Anti-Depressants Ch. 01

depression

No, it's not really much of a subject for humour, but I remembered seeing /hearing Marvin the paranoid android talking about being depressed "I've got a pain in the diodes all down my left side".

I look forward to seeing the rest of it.

I've had...

...similar conversations with medical professionals.
Btw, I find taking pills kills my urge to write and my creativity, but that could be because I do my best writing at night and the pills make me sleepy.

Crazy Bitch.

I am so glad to hear you have finally crossed that line and became a crazy bitch and got yourself an AK-47. Even though you are still depressed don't you find life is much more peaceful and rewarding when thinking about our politicians to be lovingly fondling and caressing your AK-47? I would have loved to have been there when you showed security that AK-47 in the trunk of your car and shared in the conversation about our respective gun collections.

I agree with gperry2843..........about time!!

OMG- Talk about hitting the mark! Susan this is priceless, very enjoyable too!

Wow! I'd almost think we both have the same nurses and doctors! They ask similar questions and act in the manner you just described. I had the experience about 5 years ago when my internist 'suggested something' to ease my mind and help what he thought a depression. Hell yes I'm depresssed, you would be too if taking all the meds I do to keep my transplant in place. When I go to Walgreens every month they call me by name and I end up with a shopping bag of goodies. It's a racket, big time. The other day I had a procedure that the doc billed 49.00 for, Medicare paid 67.50 and my supplement paid an additional 11.00. I cannot believe all the paper generated by the medical profession, but alas! I am alive and writing this. I've been in the funeral business and believe me when you are a cold, lifeless clunk on the morgues embalming table they are still getting to you, at least your family or the county whom ever is handling the bill. I could go on and on, but again another 5 star entry from my favorite writer. Looking forward to part too. BTW- I do take Prozac!

Ain't it the truth!

" 'Of course I'm depressed. I'm a writer,' I said laughing. 'I think way too much.' "

I wish I had written that. I certainly could have -- you and me and a few million other writers by nature if not by profession. Great piece overall.

(BTW, come the revolution, it would do my heart good to join your firing squad after lining up the corporate exploiters and their enablers who deserve nothing less than revolutionary justice.)

Loved the ending

OMFG! I am Hannah.
