I started my new medication yesterday and started tapering off the one I’m already on for depression that wasn’t helping. I don’t know how long it will take for the medication to begin to take effect, but I hope soon. I hope that I will not only be able to tolerate it, but that it [...]

It's all about seeking out a better way, while exploring the less traveled side roads along the path . . .
I want you to leave here feeling better about yourself than when you dropped by, having either learned something new, thought about something differently or having just had a good laugh or two.
