Well, it's been 9 years and I'm still here.

Moved out of that house a short while after. Got another job and worked my way up in the company, worked out my relationship with my parents, had a couple of short relationships that didn't work out, lost a ton of weight, gained it all back.

But probably one of the best things I did was get off the medication I had been on for 10 years. At one time I needed them, but after a while they became the problem I was trying to solve with them. After a year of titration I no longer take anything stronger than an ibuprofen.

I'm not recommending you to get off your meds, but rather evaluate your need for them. To my point, my doctor prescribed me such a high dosage for one medication, it was literally causing the depression and mood swings it was supposed to help with.

Any case, I thought I drop by and say I made it through, and to say I appreciate your comments all those years ago.
