Now that I look back...

I watched the movie "Prozac Nation" today, because the main character drew some similarities to what I think I went through over the past 5-6 months.

A serious depression sucks (whether it's triggered by , or a combination of, environmental , situational, or genetic factors.)

Like the main character in the film, for months, I felt:
- every situation, person, character on TV, I would take in a negative light. I'd always think the most depressing and negative thoughts, automatically, as first instinct. That's not like me.
- You'd wake up most mornings, waking up feeling as life is a chore.

This kind of persistent low mood is problematic for doing anything really. I'm just glad I'm over it. I did try to make solutions to it, until I realized medication was the only thing I hadn't tried, and thankfully, it worked.
