something I am grateful for today

[johncomic]

Realizing that I have been happier and been doing better over the last couple of years, than I was over the decade or so when I was on antidepressants. The thing is, the drugs helped me a lot and by comparison I was doing so much better on them than I had been before.

But then to go off them and find that I can live even better than that -- that's kinda swell!

NOTE: the improvement didn't happen as soon as I quit the meds -- I've been off them for about eight or nine years now. In all honesty, the noticeable improvement in my life happened a while after I started writing these entries. That has been one of the biggest life-changing things I have ever done.
