I really don't want to get my hopes up, but I'm feeling pretty good today.  Only mild headache so far today.  This is the most "non-shitty" (physically and emotionally) I've felt in what seems like forever.  Tomorrow marks 1 full week that I have been on the meds, and I'm thinking they are starting to work a little.  Don't feel quite 100% yet, but I feel a glimmer of hope.  And, that in and of itself, is a huge weight lifted.

Lots to look forward to this weekend as well.  Diving on both Saturday and Sunday.  And, I get to spend a lot of time with my best friend.  Really looking forward to it.  I think the combination of (1) keeping things on the calendar to look forward to, (2) the meds, (3) the support/encouragement I get from people who care, and (4) making the conscious decision to portray a good mood and get rid of this depression is all finally starting to work together.  I'm so relieved that I am starting to see a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel.
