What Might Have Been Lost

New Development

After dealing on my own for about 14 years plus with it, I went to see a Doctor about my depression this week. It’s been something that cycles through my life, highs and lows. Never really dealt with it medically.

It’s been getting harder lately - and as much as I’ve tried to shoulder it, Louise has noticed as well. So, as happens with all our serious discussions, we talked about it in the car.

For my part, it came down to this - “I can’t do this anymore.”

Surprising no one, she’s been rather cool about things - rather suportive and all. She’s much better than I deserve.

So, now I’m in the land of the medicated - a generic version of Paxil - and awaiting getting an apointment from my referal. It’s been an interesting few days, as the drug has taken hold. It’s doing something - I can’t quite put my finger on it. If it’s actually helping, we shall see.
