Luckily I'm not really a drinker, my most dangerous addictions are Pepsi and sleeping. As I'm currently without health insurance, does anyone have any idea how I would find a relatively inexpensive therapist thats also good? I feel a little weird looking them up in the phonebook.

it's there, always a shadow looming over me.
usually, when it comes, i don't notice it until it starts dominating all of my personal time. usually, i turn listless, start having lots of morbid thoughts, have physical manifestations of pains and aches (a vise grasping my chest is the most frequent one), self-recrimination, greater disassociation with 'normal', and greater introversion.
it's hard for other people to notice, it seems; particularly since i've never caused myself damage, and i find it easy to at least pretend to be amused and 'normal' when others are around.
and: i refuse to go into therapy over this. i'm not going to end up being one of those pill-poppers.B♭3

in most parts of the world you can get it over the counter in low doses , you would have to take half the bottle to get an overdose , ......
serum is measures ( allas SHOULD be ) but most of the people i have seen in my live taking it claim that after a while they know what to take , .... ( thats a bit risky )
they go a couple times to the doc , okay , one pill and a third , every evening ( so and so ) they watch out for salts and thats it , .....

There have been three attempted suicides, two of them successful, at my college this past week. Needless to say, the college is taking depression VERY seriously, and most professors have made it so that finals are either optional or are not able to hurt your grade."mono has crazy flow and can rhyme words that shouldn't, like Eminem"

I'm not depressed anymoreI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.
