This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You can get meds for this. If you're on them and this is where you're at, I'm sorry. But I was like you. I could function.

Then I needed meds for something else, and they stuck me on Wellbutrin, which can be perscribed to address depression or my other issue.

I came back to the doc and she asked if it had helped with my other problem. "Nope, but can I stay on?"

"Why?"

"Uh, turns out wanting to be hit by a bus isn't normal, and I had just assumed it was, and had no idea I was dealing with that constant mental hellhole until it went away."

She let me stay on the Wellbutrin.

Hmm… yeah, you can tell I’m skeptical of the chemical solutions.

I’m of an age where tracking my own hormonal changes is hard enough without adding any variables. But I appreciate your thoughtful recommendation. And I’m absolutely delighted you know longer deal with the whole sudden impulse to fall in front of a bus. I’ve never jumped but the thought comes… it’s comfortable now I guess. I don’t know who I’d be without it.
