Today, my 5-year-old daughter brought me my Prozac and a glass of water and begged me to take my medicine and come outside and play. So I did. And for the first time in 6 months, I caught myself smiling. MMT

Yes! Keep trying to do things like this. It only gets better.

Wonderful! Truly living your life and having close, valuable relationships is more important than gaining happiness out of artificial means. Please do spend more time with your daughter like this, while trying not to depend on the drugs as much. :)

The whole point is that the Prozac helped. The original poster took the medicine and THEN was happy. Some people need medication, and it is because of people that judge them for it that they don't take it. It may be artificial to you, but real happiness comes from it. Especially the real happiness of this person's daughter.

This made me think, but not for the reason you intended. Why in the hell does your daughter have access to your Prozac!?

I'm glad that your medication is working for you. I've yet to find one that works and stick with it. Good for you!!

gingerkicks - I completely agree with you. This is NOT artificial happiness. This is pure, joyful truth from the soul. Beautiful story.

I agree with the fact that it might be dangerous for the little one to have such an easy access to the Prozac... specially if she associates the pills to happiness or something... but I'm truly glad that you are starting to enjoy life again.
