Do you recommend a course of SSRIs to help with the management?
Or perhaps you advocate self-medication with a bottle of vodka, while staying in bed all weekend?

Yeah, another good question. Thanks.
Initially I found the SSRIs didn't *do* much, and had my dose doubled. Then I found life was a bit better so knocked taking them on the head, as I kept forgetting to take them and found I didn't really need them, and was experiencing some side effect which were undesirable. I have started drinking more, and would definitely recommend that in pursuit of misery. Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to stay in bed all weekend, but it is something I am planning for in the not too distant future.

Ah right, so you suggest stopping and starting taking prescribed medication as and when you choose, rather than under the guidance of a GP or other health professional?

It worked for me!
Ideally you shouldn't do that, but I'm a fucking maverick and play by my own rules.
