So sorry - didn’t see this until tonight. All my sympathies.

Well, I started back on bupropion (Wellbutrin) today to see if it starts putting a dent in the depression.
Not sure if this is more of a Fuck Today or a Victory, but it feels more like the former - because after at least a year of trying to pull out of this spiral, I’ve finally conceded I am just not pulling out of this without more help. On the Victory side… well at least I talked to the shrink and did something about it.

This sucks, but maybe the wellbutrin will help in the long run… so might talking to someone. Good luck!

At first I thought this would be a Victory! entry but I am not so sure anymore.
The good news is that Pakistan started a wide anti-polio program today, they hope to reach over 30 million kids.
But all the Taliban attacks got me thinking, just two weeks ago they murdered a campaign doctor. They argue the polio immunisation is a cover to sterilise Muslims.
Batshit crazy, for sure. But does anyone remember the fake vaccination program in 2010 the CIA organised to find bin Laden?
The backslash started in 2012 after 3 years of successful and unhindered polio immunisation, certainly not only caused by the fake vaccinations but WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
Organisations like the Pakistani immunisation program can only work when they are seen as neutral and honest. The CIA involvement was a dick move and is a disaster, Pakistan is next to Afghanistan the only country with polio seen in the wild.

FWIW, bupropion really helped me – I started it in August and my mood is a lot better (although I’m still not clear on whether that was the bupropion or not-Strattera). I did have trouble sleeping and concentrating though, so they added Mirtazapin-ratiopharm to the mix. Hope you’re able to get past this soon, and don’t be afraid to take medications if you need them. (I hate taking them on principle, so I may go it alone if/when everything stabilises).

A not-really, but kind-of Fuck Today. First day of school! Goodbye free time! At least if I do it right

Thanks! It was a nice long break, which in some ways makes it harder.

This is a trick question, isn’t it. More mass shootings = more fear = more gun sales. Why would the NRA be opposed to that?

But aren’t the NRA “good people”? That’s what Trump said…

I’ve seen his idea of good people. 10,000 miles and a couple of continents still isn’t enough distance between me and them.

it was more like type, delete, undelete, replace
the first deletion left me with a feeling of unresolvable suspension - I had yet to read the last sentence or so.

You didn’t do the “I told you so” dance?

I worked at a place where the mantra was “this is not the time to assign blame*, this is the time to fix the problem” * not my words, a “clever” change in the subject
Which, after the problem was fixed became “now is the time to move on”
