I function better on it than off it, but mental energy is really the only aspect of my depression that is significantly improved. Anhedonia and amotivation persist. I can't get myself to do things, and nothing feels good. There is no mood "brightening", and cognitive and memory impairments are improved only moderately.

I was stupid, but my stupidity was 35 years in the making by that point. I'm not kicking myself in the *ss too hard over this.

Does acute amphetamine provide a boost for you at all?
Stimulants reliably obliterate my apathy (amotivation) and sucidal ideation.
