		<description><![CDATA[For the past half hour I&#8217;ve been on the verge of tears for absolutely no reason. There are really only 2 explanations: PMS or depression. I&#8217;m thinking it&#8217;s the latter. Well, or maybe the 8&#8243; &#8211; 12&#8243; inches of snow we&#8217;re expecting! *wah* I&#8217;ve been using EMSAM for 5 days now, which, it turns out, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I saw the pdoc yesterday. He brought up ECT. This morning I thought fine, let&#8217;s do this. I&#8217;m sick of feeling the way I do. I don&#8217;t want to try yet another med that I&#8217;ve already tried only for it to work for a month or so and then stop working. But I&#8217;ve been through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Accept that your hope of being a tenured professor has reached a dead end. Overcome academe&#8217;s indoctrination process, which tells you that leaving academe means failure. There are other rewarding things you can do with your life, and you&#8217;ve got to get started somewhere. Don&#8217;t rush into another graduate program or law school. Let go [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve wanted to write a post about this topic forever. In fact, during my slightly grandiose moments of depression &#8212; not even hypomania &#8212; I&#8217;ve entertained thoughts of returning for a PhD in Film and writing a dissertation on this topic. But now, there&#8217;s no need because Cracked.com has done it for me! This article [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve had trouble doing just that &#8212; more so in creative and analytical writing (say, a book review). In my blog posts, it doesn&#8217;t matter because I can write whatever the fuck I want and if it doesn&#8217;t match the context of the post&#8217;s title, or digresses, or doesn&#8217;t make any sense at all, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s how the pdoc described me when Brian took me to see him this past Monday. The doctor put me back on Wellbutrin, an antidepressant I&#8217;ve been on before and worked for a while, anyway. It&#8217;s supposed to help decrease my irritability and do something else, but I can&#8217;t remember what he said. He increased [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brian and I met with the Interventional Radiologist yesterday to go over my pre-surgical MRIs I had done last week and to discuss whether or not I&#8217;d be a good candidate for the uterine embolization. Well, I&#8217;m not. The doctor said that because of the small size of the fibroid (1/3&#8243;), he doesn&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brian took me to see the pdoc on Monday, who was all for having the fibroid removed. Like the PCP said today, there&#8217;s no guarantee that it&#8217;ll &#8220;cure&#8221; my depression, but since it isn&#8217;t a major surgery, then why not? The pdoc also said that my affect is good, meaning that outsiders, even friends, family [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t stand this depressive episode any longer. Clearly the ECT isn&#8217;t helping. I&#8217;ve been putting off making this decision for a very long time, but last night I finally did it, and it was very difficult. I&#8217;m taking a break from hockey, the one activity that keeps me out of depression and focuses my [...]]]></description>
