"There's no time," the Director said, "that I can see any assimilation of Gehenna into Alliance ... without the inclusion of humans who think at an angle. You can tape them. You can try to change them. If you don't understand what they are now, how do you understand them when they've come another hundred years, another two hundred on the same course?"

Have taken antidepressant medication. Doing a very slow, conservative ramp-up because I'm a little anxious about the whole thing. (She said, using her powers of mild understatement.)
My brain has not exploded.
Further bulletins as events warrant.

please don't explode. is messy and no fun.

I've had a lot of friends and really close people on meds, one of whom was my girlfriend for years and who really, really needed them, and one of them was myself.
It's scary shit, and to the right kind of mind, deciding to take meds can feel like giving up your soul and adopting something alien but more palatable.
They pretty much affect everyone differently, and sometimes you barely notice a difference -- except that you find yourself feeling OMYGODAWFUL less often.
Good luck. I feel for you, it's a tough thing to do.
