Hearth & Horn

I just went on antidepressants recently and can confirm that part of the mind switches off - it's the part of you that's always screaming.

Or at least, it was for me. I can finally focus on something other that not-existing for a change. While I think it's easy - especially in pagan circles, which tend toward viewing the medical establishment with distrust - to see taking medication as a "giving up". It's not giving up, it's a relief for me. Though I had to overcome the idea that taking medication was "cheating" somehow.
