When I was in my early 20's I was diagnosed with depression and my doc wanted to put me on meds. Anyways i went and had a talk to the old man, told him I was feeling depressed and the doc said I needed meds (wich made me feel even more down). I was working as a welder, doing 12hr shifts and had debt from a car accident and shit....anyway my old man looked at me....laughed.....smacked me up the side of the head, and said SON, we all feel like shit, work long hrs, have debt....so stop letting shit get to you, and harden the fuck up for your wife and kids! So, as my old boy never ever complained his whole life, I took his advice and didn't take any meds and pulled my own shit together...we laugh about it now, as I got over it a few weeks later, but the doc was quick to throw pills at me.
