<<I agree that Ish could have used a better bartender/psych, but he says he isn't depressed. Every so often he complains that his life is worthless, and hopeless, and he thinks about eating his gun, but he's not depressed.%^*>> All well and true. Aside from not sleeping I'm pretty happy. <<As for the Wellbutrin/orgasm thing,>> Define orgasm please. It's been so fucking long I forgot. Do people still have sex? My mouse is screwng up. Is that sex?

but he's not depressed What we may have here is an old-fashioned case of the blahs. From my clippings file I retrieved an item titled "10 ways to beat the blahs" courtesy of the Boring Institute of Maplewood, NJ, which recommends ... 1. Get the reading habit 2. Develop hobbies 3. Be a joiner -- worthy organizations abound 4. Keep learning throughout life through classes, seminars, etc. 5. Watch TV selectively 6. Do your chores, maintain self-discipline 7. Don't isolate yourself -- get out with others 8. Say "I can" -- thrive on success 9. Be nice to yourself and others 10. Have a wish list of things to do, learn, see and be Since the list is pre-internet, I would add "Restrict online time". Also I would add "Have a structured exercise program" and "Abstain from alcohol or use moderately". I believe that No. 7 provides the best temporary relief and perhaps a cure if practiced frequently. And doing most of the other items can contribute to doing No. 7 successfully.
