But I don't care how incapable of feeling pleasure on is... I felt so pathetically hopeless and lethargic one summer, and I started playing Figure 8... Got to "Junk Bond Trader." I kept re-playing it, over and over again. It reminded me... I could feel things. I was an emotional being, and it was time to celebrate that.
I am in remission, have been for awhile, off meds ('xcept desoxyn). I still feel the same everytime I hear those songs- so alive.
