Day 26 Today I actually forgot to take my pill in the morning, I usually take it when I wake up but it totally slipped my mind. I eventually realised halfway through work so took it when I got home. I’m taking this as a huge positive. I didn’t have that feeling of needing to…

Day 25 Today has been fun and semi-productive. I edited some of my podcast and went through old Facebook messages and emails to make a note of all my up coming gigs. Since I dropped my phone in the toilet I no longer have access to my gig diary. I mentioned briefly in my last…

Day 24 I’ve just come back from a fantastic gig and I feel great. I perform stand-up comedy which essentially, like anything creative, turns your life into an emotional roller coaster. Before I started taking anti-depressants and writing this blog, some of the hardest times to deal with were just after gigs, when I’d be…

Day 24 So I should have written this last night but after a 5 hour round trip on a train I thought I’d spare you the pain of having to read my sleep deprived stream of nonsensical consciousness, I have no idea why as usually I just force it upon you. But last night I…

Day 23 Today I woke up 2 hours after my alarm was suppose to go off and 1 hour after I should have started work, good start. When I finally started work though, I did manage to record a new podcast whilst driving which I think I’m pretty happy with, I haven’t listened to it…

Day 22 Happy Monday everyone, I don’t think I’ve said that and meant it in a while. You know when you finally do something that you’ve been putting off or forgetting to do for ages, it’s such a relief, it’s like when you’re bursting for a pee and finally make it to the bathroom, all that…

Day 21 You may or may not have noticed that yesterday was the first day I haven’t posted a blog entry since I started my anti-depressants. I was still alive and on anti-depressants but I accidentally got too drunk at a 90’s themed night out and ended up getting into a bed at 5am. I…

Day 19 Today has been an emotional roller coaster. My first customer and I had a deep discussion about spirituality and religion. I’m not a religious person, I’m not an atheist either, I believe that anyone is entitle to believe what they want as long as they don’t bring harm to others. I believe in…

Day 18 Today definitely felt harder than yesterday. I was at work and I felt small moments of stress creeping it. I was able to catch myself and think calmly though and that’s really what these anti-depressants are allowing me to do. They’re calming, soothing my irrational thoughts and helping me deal with them better.…

Day 17 My day job has felt so much easier since I started taking these pills. My 12 hour shift today seemed to go quickly and I didn’t feel stressed at any point. I’m feeling so much more relaxed and happy. Like I’ve mentioned before I attribute a lot of that to daily writing as…
