do you take psych pills?

I've been on zoloft for depression a number of times in my life. Right now, I'm not, although there are days when I'd like the "get up and GO!" that it gives me. My depression is not of the suicidal stripe. I'm not the kind of guy who walks out of the middle of a movie, no matter how shitty it gets, I always wonder what will happen next.

My depression manifests itself more as a complete lack of starting ability. Not lack of motivation; I feel like doing things it's just that I get overwhelmed by the enormity of getting dressed and all the effort that goes into that. Sometimes when it's been bad, I had to make the choice between putting gas in the car or going to the post office because doing both was more than I could manage.

Despite all the crap w/ the house this year, I've managed to keep moving, albeit slower. I can tell there is an episode waiting in the wings, I'm managing it by getting plenty of rest.

And drinking a half to 2/3 a bottle of red wine a night. Love me some antioxidants.
