Bio
I am not a writer. I do not enjoy writing. I like reading the posts here and have been for awhile, without commenting. I have suffered from depression since I was 19. It has been 15 years. I started on OS because I find myself gravitating to blogs about depression. I write for myself primarily. To try and understand what I am facing and where I need to go next. And because it is hard to be honest with people about how I am feeling.

In Defense of Psychotropic Drugs

 

My relationship with anti-depressants is complicated, I read widely and I know that they often perform little better than placebo. There may be long term side effects that we just don't know about yet. No one likes BIG PHARM and it is hard not to be suspicious of researchers and… Read full post »

Come On Now Be Social

I was tempted to rest on my laurels. I had done 3 loads of laundry in 2 days after all.

And it was raining like a mofo here. In retrospect, if I had known how wet it was outside there was no way I woulda gone. It was a Sunday and… Read full post »

Coming out

Today I went to work afraid that I smell. That my boss would pull me over and want to talk about it. I shower once or twice a day. But I have not done laundry for awhile. I haven't worn underwear for weeks, I have none clean and I won't wear… Read full post »

I haven't done laundry in weeks, perhaps months. Luckily I am creative at making outfits out of the piles on the floor. and I don't sweat much. or at least I hope I don't.

I go to work almost every day. If I did not work, I could not pay rent… Read full post »
