I suffer from depression just as anyone who is reading this post probably is. But I do find a bit of comfort and joy when I find myself wandering or cutting back on my prescribed amount of meds as an experiment to see if I can do without the meds.  Come on now, we've all done it.  I know when I'm not right but... http://www.healthcentral.com/depression/c/690341/133054/depression
