I've had some interesting revelations about my medication since I've decided that I'd rather quit taking it than deal with my doctor or his office again. That shit killed my sex drive like crazy. I didn't realize it because it was an affect that happened over a years time. I feel like I just hit puberty all over again.
The other thing I noticed was how well it directed my emotions. They've become just as intense, and erratic as my libido. Even though I am going through this shit, and the physical withdrawals that often leave me nauseous, I feel that getting off the meds is the right step. I am in a better place, I am much more happy, and I am enjoying life. This is also my next test to train my discipline and willpower.
It's the times in life when we feel our worst that make us appreciate happiness. You just have to hold on to a vision of your happiness as the torrent of pain and suffering tears away at your soul. In the dark times I like to think that stars shine ever brighter the darker it gets. Our souls shine their brightest in times of desperation and fear, and like the infinite starry sky there are souls around us to help us shine.

your words are always so beautiful. you are i person i wish i actually knew in the everyday world. to sit down and have a drink with. to just talk and contemplate life and all that the world has to throw at us. especially on the melancholy days where everybody else seems so distant.
