{11 May, 2009}   Quotes from Friend

While chatting with a good friend of mine the other day, she shared some really great/interesting/dark/witty quotes with me. I loved them so much, I thought I would share them with all of you!!

“Look long enough into the abyss, the abyss looks into you.”
- Nietchze

“The coroner will find ink in my veins and blood on my typewriter keys.”
- C. Astrid Weber

“…the ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everyone goes ‘Awww!’”
- Jack Kerouac

“There is a glimmer of eternity about our lives. In the vastness of time and space, our lives are indeed small and ephemeral, yet not utterly insignificant. Our lives do matter. Because we are the kinds of creatures who make music and create art, we are not merely disconnected fragments of the universe but at some level reflect the beauty and splendor of the whole. And because all life shares in One Spirit, we can recognize this indwelling beauty in all other creatures.”
- Gary A. Kowalski

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life.” – Mary Oliver

“The universe shivers with wonder in the depths of the human.” – Brian Swimme

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” – Einstein

{8 December, 2008}   Antidepressants

My therapist wants me to get on Wellbutrin so he set up an appointment for me with a psychiatrist this week. I was curious about it so I have been doing some research and looking at all of the side effects and reading some blogs and stuff and it seems pretty scary. Has anyone on here been on it or another antidepressant? Any info would be great. I am really nervous. When I go in for the appointment I also have to get some blood tests done and I am deathly afraid of needles. Not looking forward to it. But hopefully I will get on the meds and it will help. As it is right now my parents won’t leave me home alone cuz they’re scared that I’m going to kill myself. It’s pretty dumb. I have been severely depressed for five years but this is the first time they’ve heard about it since they have to sign for me to be able to get the meds and my therapist wanted to talk to them about it.

Anyhoo, any advice and/or information would be wonderful. Thanx, Gemma. :]
