I notice that I am tired or yawn more these two days since taking Prozac. It can't be because I'm tired since I get a full night of sleep like I have been the other nights. I do wake up earlier than I usually do but that's been happening since I came back from Hong Kong a week and a half ago.

I took my first dose of the generic version of Prozac today. We'll see how it goes!

Oh, how do I fucking hate my job? Let me count the ways:
1,000,000
Yep, one million fucking ways!

I went to the doctor last week to ask about depression. I threw in "checkup" and "weight gain" as filler. I got prescribed Prozac. I'm kind of excited. I'm hoping it's a cure-all. A big part of me hopes so; the other part is more realistic. We will see. I put in for my prescription yesterday. But the doctor did tell me that I should talk to my boss about my work load because it seems that that is what is causing my stress and depression. I was a little offended by that because I thought he was belittling my feelings. Or rather that he just wasn't totally agreeing with my personal assessment of myself. Of course, he wouldn't know how exactly I was feeling and perhaps I wasn't very clear in my explanation. But I read somewhere that doctors (primary care physicians) aren't the best at diagnosing depression because that is not their forte. Physical health is where they have knowledge, not mental health. He also recommeded I see a social worker. I might. I am so afraid the gay thing will come out. I can't bear to say it aloud to anyone lest I be found out.
