Things have started to look up, I guess. As far as I know, I'm confirmed to have depression. I'm being put on this experimental antidepressant as part of an experiment to see if they work. Basically how it works is that on Tuesday I'm given a bottle of pills, some being placebos and some being real. It's double-blind, so the doctors don't know which is which and neither do I. I take them twice a day, not knowing which one I've taken, and report how I feel to the doctors. This process will go on for nine weeks, after which I will receive a 600 dollar stipend.
I'm a little bit nervous about it, but hey, 600 dollars is 600 dollars.
For some reason every day so far this summer has felt like a dream. My girlfriend is coming to see me next summer, I got to go to the mall last week with a friend and get a bunch of stuff, and way more cool things have happened.
