Antidepressants

i thought well you know i've been like mildly unhappy for long enough that it was worth getting into crack so the logic was i could try taking these drugs if they make me happy i'll keep taking them if they don't then i can stop taking them relatively quickly. The second one i tried just made me a lot more cheerful and like prevented me from engaging in this rumination as much as i like well it reduced to about 80 so yes yeah i think that that was a that was a big win  it's one of that one of the better decisions i've made to give that a go.
