TC, do you go to therapy... or is that what you meant when you said "your doctor gave you prozac"? Have you ever sat and talked to someone about what it is in your life that you're missing and/or need to get rid of to help you remedy these feelings?

Because I'm certainly not one to say "suck it up and don't get help", I just think there could be other ways besides putting yourself in the chemical straight jacket that only drugs like prozac provide. My sister has been on it for years and is a total dud of a person now. Plus it's like.. where is the finish line with drugs like that?

Take all this with a grain of salt as I, myself, have never been on anti depressants... but they seem like an all too convenient way to mask the underlying causes of those feelings so you can tell yourself "everthing's fine".

Sure, you have it all... but maybe you could have more? Maybe you're not achieving your full potential and your mood reflects that? Or... maybe it's just a chemical imbalance, what do I know, really.

I'm not trying to downplay your situation... I just got sad when I read you saying "I used to be that kid that played final fantasy all day and ate oreos" lol, it made me nostalgic for those times and made me think "we've all been through tough times, you can get through them too"
