Yay. My life is fucked.

[Sgt. Boomer]

You should try seeing a naturopath, or even just read up on natural or alternative medicine in books, magazines, or on-line. I have a cousin who did a lot of drugs in high school, and another relative who was on antidepressants for years. Natural medicine really helped both of them. It can be a vicious circle: something happens in your life to cause a circumstantial depression; you grab on to something that makes you feel better, like antidepressants (or drugs) ; that in turn messes up your brain chemistry (and your liver) so you end up with a chemical depression. Fortunately you’re young, so you can heal quickly. I remember reading a couple of years ago that the hot new fad among aging rock stars is wheat-grass and herbal teas, trying to repair the damage from decades of drug abuse. If it’ll work for those old stoners you could get better pretty quick. Something to think about anyway.
