And that, pardon the expression, is a hard pill to swallow, especially if there's no place to go from there. Sometimes, I look back on the years of taking all those psych drugs like I look back on my first marriage - wistfully reminiscing on something that was never going to work in the long run, and wondering how my life might have been different if i had had my eyes open a bit more.Again, I'm not anti-drug; I'm pro-think about it.
