And the fact I've always had issues of some sort going back into childhood, maybe not depression, makes me wonder if I'll be treatment-resistant.
But I'm going to put all that aside. Looking forward to Wednesday!

Hi Bark.....I completely get what you're saying regarding all the questions in your mind about the ins and outs of meds. Been there, done that....sigh. But with that said, I'm really happy to read that you're gonna dive into the pool, and I really do appreciate the posting of your plans. Plus I feel they are a good influence on me, because after being off everything for quite a while, I've been realizing that I need to try again, regardless of possible stumbles along the way. I truly wish you all the best in this new phase ~whimsy
Hugs.....
