Every once in a while, despite the meds I’m on, I get severely depressed where I recoil from contact with others and want to sleep all the time. Usually it’s just part of a cycle of ups and downs the meds are unable to smooth out completely that I just ride out, even when I feel like giving up, because I know it’s temporary.

What’s happening down there, and what I hear on the local RW radio shows, even though I intellectually understand the success of those attitudes doesn’t have a high probability, is really affecting my current down swing.

Fuck ‘em.
