I got this idea some time between my last Adderall XR and my holdover Adderall dose...which means I was somewhere six feet under rock bottom and falling further down. Somehow in the middle of that black muck, I figured that posting my daily battles with this pernicious disorder would a) possibly help someone else out there and b) keep me alive longer. Of course there's always c) I'll give up this project before it's started due to the increasing ineffecacy of the antidepressants I am taking which will d) contribute to the negative thoughts that augument this disorder.
Basically, this is one story in what must be a million stories out there about what it's like to battle depression on a daily basis. The only difference is that this one is public.
*Additional Comment: The title of this blog was taken from the book The Noonday Demon by Andrew Solomon. I haven't read the book...when I skimmed a couple of pages at Borders I could tell it was a little too much to take on at the time...but it's title was an excellent description of this disorder. Since I don't like confrontation, nor do I have the funds for a protracted legal battle, I decided to alter the name just a little.
