So just something personal, you can skip if  you want.

I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety for a long time. And it’s only got worse over the last year or two. So I finally got myself a therapist and she recommended I try medication in addition to the therapy

So about two weeks ago I started Wellbutrin. And it’s helping a LOT. I didn’t realized how stressed and anxious I was all the time until I wasn’t. I still have worries  and things, but I don’t feel so overwhelmed. I feel like I can handle things instead of hiding. I’ve had some stuff come up this week in addition to PMS and while I’m still working with it, I’m not freaking out like I might have a month ago. I’m not snapping at my spouse for no good reason. I’m actually smiling and laughing more.

I know medication isn’t for everyone, but, at least so far, this is making a helluva difference for me (and my family, by extension). If could handle a 14 hour drive (each way) and family issues and not argue once the entire time, then I know something good is going on.
