I don't take any medication for depression. It usually comes and goes. When I feel it coming on...as it has been the past couple days, I usually plan a trip somewhere and get my mind straight. I'll probably head to the beach this weekend.

Yeah I don't take any medication either. Mainly because that shite earmarks you in military records and I've got a few career goals that would be hindered if I went that route. What you're doing now is exactly what the doctor ordered, though (pardon the pun). My tonic for depression is usually playing basketball till I drop or working out in the gym like an animal. If I'm home with the wife it's usually catching up on the honey-do list or having sex if she's in the mood. Also singing--I sing when I'm in a good mood, but also when I'm stressed. God said make a joyful noise--didn't say anything about it having to sound good!

Keep it up, man. I feel you on the student loans thing too, btw. It's overwhelming sometimes.
