I just wanted to add that you got to do what you think is best for yourself. For me, antidepressants are the only way to keep on living. Other's smoke pot, molest animals or some such.

True story:
I have a friend who constantly, albeit lovingly, keeps critizising the fact that I've accepted that, if nothing changes, pills [legal, btw] are what keep my gears running. He suggests that I should go jogging or swimming or running in circles at the yard, he thinks these things have the magical power to 'cure' people. And every time I remind him that I have a bad knee, that I physically can't even walk fast, and that if I went swimming, the result would be that I'd still be depressed but also tired. I really do not see any point in going out, walking or running, for an hour just to end up in the same place I left. But hey, that seems to work for him, so I suppose it's good.. for him.

You know, at times I hear people claiming that exercising and a healthy diet will cure name-any-ailment for good. If that for some reason wouldn't work, then joining some weirdo cult will do the trick. I beg your pardon, but those people are either ridiculously stupid or then just retarded. That's when I ask them: 'Then why do people, who are in good physical health, still have mental/physical problems? Why this also applies to people on a healthy diet or to religious people? Because they are not magical cures for diseases'.

Jogging isn't going to help if you have a toothache. Praying isn't going to help if you have cancer. Eating carrots isn't going to heal necrosis. I'm not saying that some people couldn't find comfort from a religion, running around the block or eating strawberries, but I am saying that they will not work on everyone. If they did, then we wouldn't be having this conversation.
