Little Joe's Notes

Masking The Problem?

I started taking Prozac again after many, many years. The mental rut has gone on too long. I've been avoiding it because I worry that if I'm feeling like shit, that's an indicator that something in my life needs adjustment. And if I start taking medication to help me feel better, I won't figure out what needs to change.

On the flip side, if I'm feeling so bad that I can't get anything done anyway, how can I expect to get better? Objectively, I have no reason to feel bad about my life. So why not give myself some assistance? I deserve better. My family deserves better.

So I'm 9 days in. It's early days, but I'm feeling something. I'll take that.
