Psychoactive drugs aren't for everyone, but for many people, they do fill a much-needed role. We're all striving to achieve our ideal selves, however we define them, and I don't think there's anything wrong with seeking medical help on occasion in order to get there.

What is perhaps misleading about what I wrote is that my attitude towards the drugs was a bit more positive than his. And I'm currently taking some as well.

The article terrified me: it captures what depression feels like. He gets at what it feels like to be trapped on the inside of that. There's something really horrifying about seeing yourself in those descriptions.

I'm realizing that I'm still not okay, that I need to do more work on things. It's hard to face up to, but it's important.
