Thankful for Chemists Finding Good Chemicals

I didn't want Losing to be all about dealing with depression but is certainly a central theme. Every day for the past nearly two years, I'm thankful for Wellbutrin. (Note: I'm also back on Pregabalin, the nerve pain medicine. I got ~11 hours of sleep the first night after re-starting! Was a mistake to go off - live and learn.)

From Having it Out with Melancholy by Jane Kenyon:

We move on to the monoamine 

oxidase inhibitors. Day and night 

I feel as if I had drunk six cups 

of coffee, but the pain stops

abruptly. With the wonder 

and bitterness of someone pardoned 

for a crime she did not commit 

I come back to marriage and friends, 

to pink fringed hollyhocks; come back 

to my desk, books, and chair.
