Hey, Christ empowered, I always enjoy your thoughtful comments on this board. Thanks for commenting on my comment.
Politically, I don't know what I am anymore. My heart is bleeding, but my economic realities tell me a bleeding heart only pounds me deeper into my hole of anxiety, depression, and internal poverty.
I've had some profound realizations in recent years about how my mother's relentless hatred of success and money (due to her own mental health issues) when I was growing up have completely dominated my life, and ruined my ability to function in the working world as a man. It's unlikely I'll ever fully recover from this, as it seems to have shaped my brain into some awful places of anxiety, panic and depression. But I'm still here, still trying every day, to sort through this mess that is my past. I'd just really like to find the internal strong place that is me, and separates me from the damage she did to me forever, at some point.
Anyway, if Takeda (Brintellix maker) is jacking up their prices for a government pay out, well, that's sad. It's really, really sad for the lack of effect it's having on me so far, but I'm only a few days into it. I'll get the samples, hopefully, from my psychiatrist, and give it a go, though I don't see how I can pay for it even if it does work.
Oh, well, another day in the life of the mess that is chronic mental health woes, eh?
Chris
